New York City's Times Square installed a statue of a 12-foot-tall Black woman in casual clothing that its creator hopes will encourage people to reflect on "greater cultural diversity."
New York-based Times Square Arts recently put up the new statue display, titled "Grounded in the Stars," by artist Thomas J Price, along with his "Man Series" animated billboards, both of which are temporary, but causing a stir online.

Just saw the giant version in gold in Rome. Someone pointed out they carved in a clip on weave
"Oh no you di'n't!"
Sorry not Rome. It’s in Florence . I would post a pic but the thread Nazi might have a fit so you all will have to take time out to find it yourself
They could have done a statue of a young Harriet Tubman, based on that painting of her with a determined look on her face, a rifle in one hand, and the other hand outstretched to help free a slave.
How about this caption...”you gonna eat them fries?”
Black guy on Twitter asked are we institutionalizing dysfunction.
This is the obese sloppily dressed angry black woman you see at Waffle house in fight videos or the obese fraudster NY AG.
The one in Florence is better but not by much.
One showed up in Rotterdam and another in a country not listed
And wearing a MAGA hat — which she would do if alive today.
I think we will see more pics of these statues today. Thread Nazi will have to post them because I refuse to comply with his edict for posting pics.
So far I have seen four of them. One of them has huge sagging boobs . I cant remember if the hat is a beret
Sure is! Looks just like her, should have been in prison garb.
Wait until you see the one supposedly going up in Trafalgar square . Worse than this one. I laughed out loud .
Put her statue up and I’ll tip my hat to her on the way by every morning.
Your wish. My command.
That isn’t far off from the one for Trafalgar square but it was not to be installed until 2026. Called lady in blue
Best caption?
Ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat!
There is a pregnant black woman that helped revolt against Napoleon that was executed. Paris put up a statue. Better than this one.
“22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
Part of the 45 goals of communism.
Liberals nver think of the consequences.
Everything is a game to them.
Score some PR points and they think they have actually done something useful.
Like dressing a bunch of women up in those stupid pilgrim-like costumes to protest Roe V. Wade being overturned. It’s all about show.....................
It’s comparable to that Chinese AI video showing morbidly obese Americans doing piece work in a crowded sweat shop. It’s the sculptor’s image of the archetypal black woman. Fat, arrogant, with a watermelon size chip on her shoulder.
Ghettopottomus as the new art form. No thanks…
