Why Do Statues of Fat Black Women Keep Popping Up?
Hot Air ^ | 1 Aug 2025 | David Strom

No, I am not talking about statues celebrating the likes of Letitia James or Stacey Abrams. At least you could understand why the left would want to celebrate these women and try to make them icons.

Rather, I am talking about a truly mysterious trend of Blue cities erecting statues of anonymous women whose only discernible reason for being is the celebration of obese black women as a class of people.

Erecting a statue to celebrate someone's achievements deserves no criticism, regardless of the subject's attractiveness. If someone wanted to erect a statue to celebrate Stephen Hawking, who was never noted for his beauty, I would not give it a thought beyond, "Was he really that great a physicist?" I certainly wouldn't criticize it for its lack of beauty.

But when you erect statues to celebrate a form in itself--and statues of anonymous people are all about the statue, not the subject--one would expect that the form is one that most would appreciate.

What’s been done to Black culture in America is a crime.


Intentional, by White Liberals, to keep them in power. Malcolm X was absolutely right when he said that the greatest enemy of black people is the white liberal.

They needed something to rub our faces in after pressure finally ended rainbow crosswalks and all the George Floyd murals and BLM crap were taken down.

I’m looking forward to the Sydney Sweeney statues.

So we have all these great black people, like Charles Drew, George Washington Carver, etc. that they could have made statues of, but instead these are the black people they make statues of?

Now that’s racist!

Right?

If I encountered the real life version, I would immediately work to keep and increase my distance.

To me, looking in from the outside, the attraction appears Oedipal.

Because leftists destroy anything of real beauty.

A plaque on the building behind the statue attempts to explain its meaning, with the sculptor's name at the top in the largest font. THOMAS J. PRICE. The arrogance.

Price's specialty seems to be large black women with RBF.

If you understand “white savior complex”, these statues make perfect sense. White people with the complex, see ugly black women as the most oppressed and therefore needing their “help” the most.

this trend is not just about celebrating diversity; it’s a blatant attempt to push a statist ideology that values identity politics over individual merit. The hypocrisy is glaring: the same people who claim to fight against oppression are the ones promoting a new form of it, where your worth is measured by how well you fit into their narrow boxes of race and body size. It’s a classic case of projection—accusing others of the very divisiveness they themselves perpetuate.

It’s just like with Communist countries, that used to have “Socialist Realist” statues of workers all over the place.

Could be impossible if you get too close to the black hole event horizon.
