Backlash ensued soon after a monument meant to honor Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King's legacy in Boston was
unveiled.
The 20-foot tall, 40-foot wide "The Embrace" statue was unveiled Friday on
Boston Common, where King gave a speech on April 23, 1965, to a crowd of
22,000. The statue was inspired by a photograph of King and Scott King
which captured them hugging after he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
The art piece, designed by Brooklyn-based conceptual artist Hank Willis
Thomas, only features the couple's arms during the embrace and not their
heads, which has sparked criticism and mockery online. While some people
defended the sculpture, others described it as hideous or disrespectful,
with social media users posting memes saying it resembled a sex act.
Seneca Scott, a community organizer in Oakland, California, and cousin of
Scott King, told CNN the statue was insulting to his family. He previously
described it as a "masturbatory metal homage" in an essay published by
Compact Magazine.
"If you can look at it from all angles, and it's probably two people
hugging each other, it's four hands. It's not the missing heads that's the
atrocity that other people clamp onto that; it's a stump that looked like
a penis. That's a joke," Scott told CNN.

People don't realise that to artists art is the selective
reproduction of reality rather exact representation.
Our hands are uniquely human amongst other animals. The artist
wanted to express the couple's love which they saw in the clasp
of their human hands.

I don't understand the problem. There are plenty of snapshots of the
event for those who want literal reality. The monument is beautiful.

This abomination is clearly a product of a low IQ, nonhuman simian. Heck, gorillas can do better
than this. An absolute monstrosity that was approved only because no cuck wanted to hurt a bootlips feelings.
It looks greasy, dirty, obscene. That appears to be the sculpture of a spook with its
head rammed up its own ass and giving it the thumbs down, you fucking coal burning
piece of shit.

Four more years and the FBI tapes will come out. Communist race enabler and plagiarizer
spook will be exposed, but will media finally come tho their sense about this bootlip?
I think not, just spit out more lies about this animal.
