Terrazzo sounds more Italian than African. Wasn’t it the Italian fascists who temporarily conquered Ethiopia? Is this supposed to be a monument to fascist imperialism?

[Leep]

Racist!

They’re gonna need one heckuva long cord to secure it to the building on the left.

Looks like almost half of the top level extends past the base. I’m not an engineer, but when I built block towers with that sort of design, they didn’t last long.

.... upside down ...?,i>

Even the landscaping; it's on TOP!

6) Blacks are now the majority of the US population and are entitled to Black Privilege and reparations from evil whites - the few that remain - mostly stupid males and gold digging women pretty enough to make handsome black babies and not much else.

What could possibly go wrong?

Nothing - these are the same people that built the Egyptian Giza Complex which has stood for over 4000 years.

It’s ugly as sh!t, but would be one hell of an engineering feat if they can pull it off. In which case, good on them.

I wouldn’t live in it for free, just because it looks hazardous. I guarantee nobody outside of a major city would care who built it or why, and I also guarantee that it will be at low capacity for the foreseeable future, making it impossible to pay off the build costs.

Neither did he.

Anyone in range of that building should be talking to their insurance agents.

Although I've never studied physics I can see...or *think* I can see...that this design could be a problem in a hurricane,earthquake or a WTC type explosion (the one in the 90s).

Genius! You could but one of these on a 1/8 acre lot and have the upper floors be 4 acres! It’s all profit, as long as you’re the first in.

The ‘architect’ must have read the novel “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand.

Paging the Babylon Bee, paging the Babylon Bee...

Actually, this is tailor made for notthebee.com.

Because to leftists, gravity is just a social construct.

[TChad]

Perfect.

[Eagles6]

Looks like a jail cell.

Just sayin'.

Can white lawyers sue the tower owners if it falls down?

[Kickaha]

I hereby dub it The Affirmative Action Tower.
