Boston Incurs Public Backlash After Unveiling 22-Foot MLK Sculpture
Newsmax ^

Posted on 01/15/2023 4:27:54 PM PST by BenLurkin

The city of Boston has taken online and social media heat this weekend after unveiling a 22-foot bronze sculpture that celebrates the relationship between the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King.

For those who have seen the famous[?] photo of the Kings embracing, it's easier to visualize what Thomas was trying to accomplish.

For others, the gigantic bronze sculpture located in Boston Common, the nation's oldest public park, represents different things, depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

Seneca Scott, Coretta Scott King's cousin, slammed the statue's aesthetics in an essay for the online journal Compact.

"For my family, it's rather insulting," wrote Scott, while adding the "sculpture is an especially egregious example of the woke machine's callousness and vanity."

I just hope it endures, instead, if it is mocked enough the left will probably modify it by adding heads or even removing it.

That guy is really grasping at straws trying to explain that disaster of a statue.

I had no idea of the yikes factor involved when I saw this yesterday. I moved along without comment.

What is seen cannot be unseen, but then today I saw an article title indicating that the name of this 22 ft. freak show is "The Embrace".

So while the degenerate, black arts world pulls this stunt for whatever creepo purposes, I have to keep in mind who's truly in charge of the narrative.

Therefore, I have to go with the black humor angle, aka gallows humor. The weird is the tell and now here's this horrid "yesod" statue on Boston Common, a "monument to the Kings", named for Habakkuk.

"My head! My head!"

Sooo....

Habakkuk and a smile, koach adds life!

22 [years]...

29. And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself to him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while:
30. And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive:

Unveiled on Friday.
