Isn’t that “The Embrace” installation?

And where in the world did you get a penis reference from?

Same place family members of MLK got if from...they simply looked at it:

https://nypost.com/2023/01/15/woke-m...cott-king-kin/

Quote:
Even some kin of Coretta Scott King hate the new $10 million sculpture just dedicated to her and her iconic civil-rights-leader husband in Boston — with a cousin claiming it “looks like a penis.”

The massive bronze piece, titled “The Embrace,” features two sets of arms holding each other, an artistic interpretation of the classic photo of Coretta and hubby Martin Luther King Jr. hugging after he won the Nobel Peace Price in 1964.

“The mainstream media … was reporting on it like it was all beautiful, ’cause they were told they had to say that,” Seneca Scott, Coretta’s cousin, told The Post by phone Sunday, referring to the new artwork in The Boston Commons.

“But then when it came out, a little boy pointed out — ‘That’s a penis!’ and everyone was like, ‘Yo, that’s a big old dong, man,” said the 43-year-old Oakland, Calif., resident.


“If you had showed that statute to anyone in the ’hood, they’d have been like, ‘No, absolutely not.’ “

“The Embrace” has been criticized for looking more like a phallic image than a depiction of slain civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, embracing.

He added scornfully to the Compact mag, “Ten million dollars were wasted to create a masturbatory metal homage to my legendary family members — one of the all-time greatest American families.”

Seneca told The Post that “woke” culture allowed the expensive abstract experiment to come to fruition.

Members of the King family last week unveiled the artwork near where MLK and Coretta first met in college.

I seen that pix on Fakebook, and it looks like something stupid to ME, I see nothing about it, but the penis suggestion makes more sense than anything else.....amazing how far down the mentality of this nation has fallen....

every excuse in the world, taught in our 'finest colledges' by commie profs....

And there you have it. The artist flawlessly summed up the subject matter accurately and succinctly.

My wife showed me a picture of it a day or two ago, and said "what does this look like?" I said "someone holding a big penis."

New Orleans: "Hold my beer!"




This is what Marxism looks like. This is taking control, destroying beauty, and creating ugliness. These are giant demoralization campaigns.

How is that monstrosity not considered racist?

Oh yeah, and while the city won't release the cost, they've allocated $7.2M for public art funding for this and other projects. I guess it couldn't be spent on anything more productive like, say, crime prevention?

The corruption runs deep in these Democratic utopias.

It's a giant afro pick with a black supremacist power fist as a handle. Perfectly normal, and a warning to people that the area is NOT safe.
