Outrage over bronze statue honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King

[quote] Um. This looks like he’s eating her out.

This is Martin we are talking about. That second portion of the sculpture should be some white shade of metal

Oh dear about the statue.

That's hilariously vulgar.

what that hell?

M. L.

A black guy made the sculpture before anyone goes there.

The guy that created this monstrosity is here.

The artist is a hack and plagiarist. Boston has been suckered.

That's just not right

KING!

That statue is goals, R10.

Is he retarded? And blind?

Sum Ting Wong

It's still better than the MLK statue portraying him as an angry white Chinaman

Does it though R14?

Well its Communist in style, for sure R15. The forms do look Chinese Communist.

The link at R5 is worth clicking just to see Reply 16 in that particular thread.

Can some one explain, anatomically, what I’m looking at? I see MLK’s head and what looks like a disembodied leg. MLK is cupping the ass of the aforementioned leg in his hand.

R17 Thank you for your service.

I don't know what the fuck it's supposed to be, but I do know that it seems disturbing.

Heeheehee.

Artists! Stop sucking. Stop having stupid visions.

“When a man loves a woman…” 😩

Art is supposed to challenge thought and produce emotion so in that sense - the statue is a big success!

It was shown on our morning news this morning so it's going right around the world...

I’d say Calista Flockhart

A bronze hug is magnificent in all of its symbolism.

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

The aerial view is the best.

It looks like an anus from above.

I thought it looked like a toilet bowl.

" 'I'm Only a Hole, Baby': Honoring the Late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

MLK, Jr. Is actually eating out one of his many mistresses. Corina wasn't up for such depravity.

What in the Brooklyn, millenial gender queer nobinary SJW postdmodern artist hell?

Thanks for the $15 million suckers

A plagiarist artist honoring a plagiarist preacher and intellectual, by creating a 15 million dollar dog turd, sounds about right.

Black Excellence

I have a dream......that one day I'll be eating out Coretta's snatch for all of Boston to see

This statue is challenging stereotypes because I’ve always heard that black guys don’t eat pussy.

If the exact same sculpture had been designed by a white guy and installed in Mississippi the woke Boston intelligentsia would be throwing fits over the racist insult to Martin and Coretta

I think it looks headless.

Not quite.

Its not a racist insult. It's just INSULTINGLY HORRIFICALLY BAD ART.

Will there be riots?

R42, why you hungry for cocks?

If a black artist created it and got paid, who are black people supposed to be angry at?

And white art snobs will keep their mouths shut.

The protests will come from snarky bitches like us.

[quote] If a black artist created it and got paid, who are black people supposed to be angry at?

White people, as always.

John F. Kennedy eating a hooker's pussy would've been more appropriate for Boston.

"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. And that we may all of us, brothers and sisters, eat a peach."

[quote] John F. Kennedy eating a hooker's pussy

Forget that. Minuteman Jack was too lazy to put in that much effort

Or Julia Child eating a hooker's pussy.

Dookie! Big ol’ pile of dookie!

R13 “Sum-Ting Wong is so cutting edge and funneeee!”.

Oh, god. The mayor’s office actually tweeted this!

And what’s even funnier is that they can’t move the fucking thing.

Where else would they store this crap (literally)?

Why are Black Americans so disrespected when we've been here in this country before it was founded? No other group of black people are as successful as us and we were among the first to have a Civil Rights movement. Nelson Mandela noted that. Marcus Garvey who was Jamaican wanted the monetized that. We forget this but other countries note this and acknowledge this and respect African Americans like France and Japan where jazz artists toured and black characters in anime (unfortunately influenced by blackface but not malicious intent).

It kind of looks like a cinnamon roll from the air.

Because they are not one of your faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans!

It looks like shit. I think statues are best for commemorating people, as in a life-like representation of their face and body, or a bust, etc. If it was meant to commemorate an event or a theme, then by all means get artistic with it, but make sure it "reads" well from different angles before running wild.

If a piece of artwork requires an explanation . . . sorry.

How much did taxpayers pay for this?

R18, it is based on this photograph.

And he chopped off their heads for it. Not a good look.

It’s not as bad as the initial Lucille Ball statue in Jamestown.

Yeah, we all know about the fucking Lucille Ball statue in Jamestown.

Ugly Lucy is iconic.

I find it vulgar. It’s in bad taste.

[quote]Yeah, we all know about the fucking Lucille Ball statue in Jamestown.

I didn’t know about it. I had no idea what R16 on the other thread was supposed to be. I thought it was Ronald Reagan.

I dont get why there would be outrage. It was done with a good intent, but it's ugly. That is subjective however. Everything has been racialized post Trump.

[quote] I dont get why there would be outrage.

Maybe because it looks like they spent millions on a bad joke
