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."

Coretta taking care of some BBC?
That’s called a win-win.
RE tore down Robert E. Lee:
Well, yes, of course… Because this is sooooooo much better… I mean it’s, like, you know, “art”, and all… sortakindalike…
We’re just not getting the “subtle nuances” of two hands embracing a giant black penis, because we’re not …. “Cultured” enough… or sumpin’…
They could have used the space and money to put in a very nice playground.
It’s a waste of good bourbon!!!
Just like that quote sculpture” is a waste of good bronze
the world is full of retarded people... people who make things like this, and the morons who tolerate it...
“It’s a waste of good bourbon!!!”
Kentucky will make more...
It should be titled “carrying the turd of destiny”…
I like it.
Potato. It looks like a potato. There’s no reason to get nasty. To me, it looks like a potato, and hey Boston, so Irish, QED Potato!
I saw something like that in my toilet once… But I needed a plunger to get rid of it
My friend… That does not resemble a potato… That resembles what happens after you EAT several potatoes…
Before I saw it, I thought maybe they hired a lousy sculptor such as the one who did the hideous statue of Lucille Ball. The writer claims that people who have seen the photo of the Kings would have a better idea of what the sculptor was “trying to accomplish”. Ummm, no. But any of the sometimes-maligned classical sculptors could have turned out something exquisite.
I think he’s holding the decapitated body of the baby from “Eraserhead”. At least that’s the least obscene explanation I can come up with.
It’s not worth 10 million. $5.00 at the most
The turd of all turds — King Turd!
“Find an interesting picture of MLK Jr. and go from there.”
They had an interesting picture. Of MLK and Coretta hugging after he won the Nobel Prize. The problem is this sculptor decided to just use the arms.
it’s just weird/creepy/stupid.
Gonna need more pigeons.
