That's racis'.

[CodeToad]

It is racist to say that white people must be presented as black people.

[MeshugeMikey]

the statue was produced as a part of an art therapy for the seriously wasted program??

[I want the USA back]

Looks like France is less under the iron hand of PC than the USA.

I can imagine the Statue of Liberty with a makeover. Complete with neck tattoo, piercings, dreadlocks. /s

[csvset]

It looks like cheap tourist souvenir art.

[MeshugeMikey]

Yes,,,a roadside ‘museum” gift shop sort of....”item”

That's going a bit too far. It's bad enough that the Statue of Liberty is from Mars, with her green color.

[Army Air Corps]

Really bad sculpture.

[lee martell]

The Black Marianne looks carved from a cake of French Soap.
Whereas the Original Marianne in the painting is the depiction of Volumputuous Valiance, a full figured Mademoiselle only lacking stronger bra straps to avoid one of the most famous Wardrobe Malfunctions of the Romantic Era of painters.

Where da white women at?

[aquila48]

That one would be acceptable ...

[aquila48]

” Usually depicted as a young, white woman wearing a Phrygian - or brimless, conical - cap...”

Yes, that cap was the first thing I noticed about her.
