Am I confused? Those 2 pics are different. In one the hands are far apart. In the other the hands are clasped.

Well, they could have had an honorable statue of a Confederate General but instead they got... an image of how they see themselves.

I prefer Chicago’s “Bean” over this abomination.

The artist, Hank Willis Thomas, granted awards, one I found interesting: Soros Equality Fellowship, Open Society Foundations 2007

He's also the artist behind the 25 foot tall afro comb abomination.

I remember going to an art show at the Tulsa City Library fifty one years ago. I was at the time working in a steel shop and going to art classes at night.

What I saw was I beams cut and bent, then painted passed off as art. I did the same thing during the day but no one called what I was hired to do “ART”.

There were also some paintings there that were passed off as art. The art teachers thought they were great and I thought they were crap.

There was a section of paintings using realism and I enjoyed it real well till the art teacher said ......”OH MY GOD! HE USED BLACK!”

Remove the statue and melt it down. I am triggered by the monstrosity. It brings back awful memories of when my ancestors were picking raspberries in the woods!

A noose is something I never saw, but that is a brilliant interpretation.
