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."

Idiotic pervert Democrats.
you are most correct.
Home of the stupidest A Holes in North America!!
BINGO!!!!!
BINGO!!!!!
Boston is a hellhole of the twisted and perverse.
That’s repulsive.
There are several things it looks like the hands are holding.
I guess the most benign choice is a giant sweet potato.
The others are not so complementary.
From Fallon to Quetzalcoatl: San Jose statues, monuments tell a complicated story “As long as Thomas Fallon and other symbols of imperialism and colonialism continue to be positioned in glorification, we will forever be oppressed on our land,” said Peter Ortiz, a Santa Clara County Board of Education trustee. “(Mayor Sam Liccardo) says he stands against white supremacy, but actions mean more than words. Having the statue here is a slap in the face to our people.”Those lies really piss me off. The Spaniards (not Mexicans) moved into Baja California in 1697 with the establishment of the Misión de Nuestra Señora de Loreto Conchó, at the Monqui Native American (Indian) settlement of Conchó in the city of Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico. So the Spaniards were the "colonizers." They established missions all over Baja California:
The Spanish colonized Alta California from 1769 to 1821. The first Alta California mission was founded by the Franciscan friar Junípero Serra and Gaspar de Portolá in San Diego in 1769.
Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 and the Mexican–American War was 1846–1848. The southern Californios formally surrendered with the signing of the Treaty of Cahuenga on January 13, 1847. After twenty-seven years as part of independent Mexico, California was ceded to the United States in 1848 with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
During the very few years independent Mexico owned California, they did absolutely NOTHING with it. They never populated the west or built anything. It was nothing but a handful of vaqueros running huge ranchos and cattle.
I can't believe we let these bastards get away with calling the US "colonizers" and get statues like that of Fallon removed and turd statues honoring pagans who never lived here installed.
The USA is really doomed because it will never defend its accomplishments or its people. Instead, we are forced to honor primitive, bloodthirsty savages.
It's an effing joke. It should be attacked with acetylene torches. Immediately. And the so called artist ridden out of town on a rail and made to repay his / her commission.
‘Scuse me while I whip this out.
Who says you can’t polish a turd. That one looks very shiny.
Just for fun, I’d like to see who approved this monstrosity…. Shirley there was a small model made in clay prior to this immense turd.
If you don’t love it....you ain’t black!
I know, I would make myself some popcorn, but I’d probably choke on it from laughing…😉🤣
I’m wondering what they paid for that thing…
That thing’l show up on radar…
