“Give New York City to Al-Qaeda or Isis in exchange for peace.”

Leticia James, Fanni Willis, Stacy Abrams, Jasmine Crockett... these are the ones society elevates and honors today. Rude, self-centered, angry, overweight, entitled black female sociopaths with no class. Godly people of all colors need to take a stand against this form of evil pride. And at the same, ironically, these are the people targeted by the Planned Parenthood/ Margaret Sanger eugenicist campaign. Were the taxpayers hooked for this stupidity? Wow is this post-Christian society screwed up.

It was comments like how the statue provides a “stark contrast" to the two current Times Square statues of “white men” on pedestals that got social media users upset.

One of those "white men" is George Cohan, a dominant figure in NYC's entertainment world early in the last century who was known for his patriotism. Two of his most famous songs were You're a Grand Old Flag and Yankee Doodle Boy. But from the perspective of our era of wokeness, that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, far away.

Looks like a skank 'ho with no meaningful accomplishments, a welfare check, and lots of "attitude" to compensate for the general vacuousness of her life.

Or a nasty local radical AG who focuses on her inner hatred rather than serving her constituents.

Letitia James lacks meaningful accomplishments, gets her money from the government, and “cops a ‘tude” to compensate for the utter vacuousness of her life.

I don’t know if she’s an actual ‘ho. I do know that I wouldn’t “do” her with my worst enemy’s eggplant ... much less my own.

The Times Square Alliance is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization and is governed by a large, voluntary Board of Directors.

https://www.timessquarenyc.org/times-square-alliance/staff

Times Square Arts, the public art program of the Times Square Alliance, collaborates with contemporary artists and cultural institutions to experiment and engage with one of the world’s most iconic urban places. Through the Square’s electronic billboards, public plazas, vacant areas and popular venues, and the Alliance’s own online landscape, Times Square Arts invites leading contemporary creators to help the public see Times Square in new ways. Times Square has always been a cultural district and place of risk, innovation and creativity, and the arts program ensures these qualities remain central to the district’s unique identity.

https://www.timessquarenyc.org/arts/tsq-arts-about

Visitors and residents of Times Square have a new piece of artwork on view these days: a 12-foot-tall sculpture of a woman, titled Grounded in the Stars, stands at Broadway and 46th Street.

The bronze sculpture is the brainchild of London-based figurative artist Thomas J Price (Jamaican father / English mother). By creating the fictional character, Price aimed to encapsulate the observations, images, and open calls of New York, Los Angeles, and London.

The sculpture of the young woman is just one of Price’s works for onlookers to observe as they pass through the iconic area. Throughout May, Price’s stop-motion animation Man Series will be featured on over 90 billboards. The multi-channel presentation is part of the world’s largest digital public art initiative, Midnight Moment, and passersby can catch the nightly presentation on screens from 11:57 p.m. to 12 a.m.

“I hope Grounded in the Stars and Man Series will instigate meaningful connections and bind intimate emotional states that allow for deeper reflection around the human condition and greater cultural diversity.”

Grounded in the Stars is supported by the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation, Morgan Stanley, the New York State Council on the Arts, public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the City Council, and the Times Square Edition Hotel. The sculpture will be on display through June 17.


The usual Suspects involved behind the scenes...
