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."

An angry Black man passing as an Artist sculpts an ambiguous object. (Nothing new here!) Whatever else, he defrauded his patrons.
I think it represents what the left has done to art perfectly!
Someone should modify the plaque, assuming there is one, and rename it.
When I first saw it THAT IS EXACTLY what I thought, he looks like he is handling a penis what in the hell is this???
Boston has been a joke for many decades...
Pathetic. Absolutly Pathatic.
another Jackson pollack.....another ruse for we rabble to fume over......
That statue of king is horrible also, a high school sculptor could of done a better job than that.
It is seriously THE stupidest looking “sculpture” I’ve ever seen…
Perfectly in keeping with the 1963 communist goals of making art ugly…
I would tell the sculptor “congratulations… You gave birth to a turd”
THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
A smaller copy must be prepared for West Point. It can be installed where the R E Lee portrait once hung.
How about modifying the statue by hooking up a hose to run water through the end into a little pond beneath it...kinda like the little boy whizzing into the fountain.
We tore down Robt. E. Lee for this?
It would be more fitting...
It looks like a PENIS! UGH! WHO okayed this monstrosity? Bet it was a HOMOSEXUAL!
His father is a member of the Black Panther Party!
I literally just snorted my bourbon all over myself…
How much did they PAY for this piece of CRAP?
See post number 69… You got it spot on brother
The “artist” is black, so everything is OK.
