Behold, what the world needs more of:
An obese black woman in cartoon form!
From the BBC:
Lady In Blue by New York artist Tschabalala Self, which pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman, is the 16th artwork to feature on the plinth since 1998.
...
Self said she had set out to put an ordinary contemporary Londoner on a site more usually associated with statues of monarchs and military commanders.
'My work Lady In Blue will bring to Trafalgar Square a woman that many can relate to,' the artist said.
Question: Trafalgar Square is a monument to the great naval victory accomplished by the Admiral Horatio Nelson, who gave his life so the British Empire could wrest control of the seas away from Napoleon.
Why did they change the rules in the late 1990s to allow random pieces of art to be displayed in a section of the square?
And why is it necessary to have post-modern intersectional feminism be inserted into a war memorial from the early 19th century?
'She is not an idol to venerate or a historic figurehead to commemorate.
'She is a woman walking forward into our collective future with ambition and purpose. She is a Londoner, who represents the city's spirit.'
The large black woman designed by an American artist represents the "collective future" of London, or the "collective" future?

PING!....................
Trafalgar? Where are the pigeons?
The immigrants ate them.................
Then it should have been placed in a Walmart parking lot or outside a Golden Corral restaurant......
WTH is that!?
it looks like Aunt Jemima became a prostitute.
Yes, the pigeons will anoint the statue properly.
They were all scared away by the appearance of that hideous "artwork." I hope they come back, roost on that thing and cover it with pigeon poo.
She should be in a burqa to represent Islam London.
It is not even merely a “plus size” black woman - bizarre stance, bizarre appearance all around. Who did they think could be honored by this?
What is with that hand? Looks like a zombie’s hand.
You got that right!
LOL
Shouldn’t it be twerking?
> ‘She is a woman walking forward into our collective future with ambition and purpose. She is a Londoner, who represents the city’s spirit.’
No she doesn’t. She’s not wearing a burka.
The fatigue……the fatigue….
No she doesn’t. She’s not wearing a burka.
FATigue
Fans of R. Crumb will instantly recognize Angelfood McSpade.
So a caricature of a black woman is supposed to be good?
Was Little Black Sambo not available? Maybe a minstrel or a pickaninny?
If I was black, I’d consider that a racist mockery.
What woke Brit bureaucrat allowed this ?
Never mind; england/Britain is totally subserviant to woke and Islam.
There will NOT “Always Be An England” ..
