Ahhhhhhhhh, you must be referring to the proposed "politically correct"
statue that is to be erected near ground zero in NYC.
Saw the article in the morning "Blat," (AAS).
Made my blood boil....

none of the above
white men, and most casualties were white men, I have no problem
with stature of white men raising a flag.
I guess in the politically correct rewriting of history, you'd show a black
female, fat, blind and missing two legs carrying a machine gun and
storming San Juan Hill or pushing her cart along the frozen roads leaving
the Chosin reservoir, a determined ferocious look on her chubby face.
Then of course the Injuns would have to have a non agist, 13 year old fat boy
with a drinking problem, throwing a grenade at the politically correct enemy
which would be an pre-taliban afghan warrior who joined the Japense Army
in WWII.
While we're at it, we could invent a battalion of illegal Meskins who snuck
up the hills at Monte Casino, poured hot suace into the German armie's
mess kits and hid laughing while those cowardly, sniveling, craven and pasty
white child molesting, dog fucking, wife beating, greedy Germans troops gasped
and spewed from eating the hot sauce that the company of Black noble Watuzi
handsome warriors, with big pecs and smiling white pearly teeth and good humor
came
bounding into the fortress to take those dastardaly cowardly coughing stupid
Germans prisoner.

bronze/metal look so color cannot be discerned, and the overwhelming
effect of the G.I.s raising the flag draws 99% of the attention away
from their actual faces. So, the races of the men depicted is pretty
much in the mind of the beholder. Sufficient ambiguity, consistency
of color and a little distance pretty much obviates any need for being
politically correct. IMO, this is the advantage of an Impressionist
painting over a photo -- it engages the mind of the viewer to
interpret the feeling of the scene w/o being overly distracted by the
smaller details.
Unfortunately, the artist designing the WTC flag raising memorial is
having his work detracted from by small minded viewers who can't get
past the details to "get" the feeling. Whoever commissioned it should
have reminded him: "Now remember, we want idiots to be able to get it
too." That is where the artist failed: his attempt to get the right
message across to idiots has backfired. The non-idiots who view it
can look past race and see firemen, policemen, workers ... oh, what's
the point? If one has to explain it, the chances are the viewer is
too small minded to understand the explanation anyway.

So, you would be in favor of manditory genetic cloning to make sure
all people of the future are not upset, politically incorrect or have their
feelings and aspirations hurt by advocating genetic cloning and culling of
all factors that make people individuals, therby making everyone average,
of a correct average color, same hair, hieght, wieght, and IQ?
What a bland world some of you people live in....bland ideas, bland thoughts,
bland edcations, bland wives, bland children, and a death where in a year no
one remembers who you were.

You fail to see the most fundamental point, is that it's a memorial taken
directly from
a picture of 3 white firemen, of who not one person in the whole world commented
with
stupid asinine comments, not even stupid liberal democrats, with comments like
"Oh look!
The picture has 3 white firemen! This is an obvious example of discrimination
Mr. Clinton!"
or any other comments just as stupid.
But, of course some bozo politically correct moron had to go and change the
races and look
of the picture and edit out two of the heroes to put anon faceless politically
correct Mexican and
black faces instead to make a statement about diversity and political
correctness instead of
heroism and the beginning of another famous history making picture.
Alas, now that picture, what the firefighters did ( black and white) the three
men who raised the
pole, the whole slept 11th disaster and the tragedy is degenerating under an
assault of the whining
political left who want to rewrite history, modify everything public to force
their liberal
correct agenda apon everyone in America.
You and your cohorts should be ashamed of yourselves, ashamed of cheapening and
making
political what was, is one of the most tragic episodes in our country's history
and yet one
of our most heroic.
You and your politically correct friends should be residing with John Walker in
a brig
along with him for the damage you're doing to America.
The one thing that is most dangerous in these times is the loss of freedom, free
speech and
a swing to fascism, terror and the attempt to rewrite history like the KGB did.
That is
what political correctness is.
You sir, are basically a traitor.
It's really that simple.

Btw.....you don't see the chinese, japanese, indians, pakistanis, arabs,
persians,
and germans all demanding that their faces and races be put on the statue
too....
they're too busy mourning the 9/11 and working.

The Mt. Suribachi flag-raising statue was based on accurate
descriptions of the actual participants, one of whom (Ira Hamilton
Hayes) was a Pima Indian (or Aątam-akimūlt).

I remember that!
Well then, obviously they should have made all the people raising
the flag Indian!
We wouldn't want them to feel deprived or left out of the great american
revisionist re-culturalization frenzy would we?
I also think its very important to educate our school children in the idea that
the revolutionary war was fought by free blacks against the British KKK for
freedom and that white people, who were picking cotton in the south joined
in to help only after being promissed their freedom.
And let us not forget the civil war! That was where the noble Chinese came over
from that great culturally superiour country to help the intelligent and hard
working
Native Americans in their cause to free the poor white trash who had to pick
sweet potatoes in the sun all day long.
And while we're at it, the blue color on our flag offends me. It should be
green, you know,
for Allah and all the great culurally advanced people of arab decent who've made
this
nation great?
Now, if we could only get those damn lazy white people to go back home, since
they
don't like here anymore.
Back to their fithy hell holes in Europe I say!
If they don't like it here, leave!

abstractualizing art. If art were always photographically accurate,
it would take a greater mind than yours to see past the concreteness
of the accuracy. In Impressionism, the blur is for people like you.
Try not to get so distracted by the details.
BTW, don't bother to reply to this post. If you didn't get it the
first time, you won't get it this time either.

"Diversity" is simply an all out attack on the ideals and mores of western
Civilization.
The idea is simple: The factors, backgrounds and the ideals of Western
civilization
are good, and the cultures of people fleeing in rickety boats from diseased,
warring,
incompetant fascist, socialist and communist dictatorships full of pigs in the
streets,
dirty water and massive graft, pollution, corruption and death, are somehow
superiour.
"Diversisty" is a mantra espoused by stupid white American liberals, badly
educated
Americans, and the teeming hords of billions of snot nosed immigrants who want
to
come here and make our great country into a reflection of the shit hole they
came from;
and on the way divesting the American middle class of all their money that they
accumulate
through hard work and getting an education.
This accumulation of course, is direct result of the very culture they impune
and villify and want
to topple; the greatest culture this world has ever seen, the American Western
civilization
culture.
