A monument to a late American self proclaimed minister of God, chiseled by a totalitarian atheist.
File this one under IRONY

Milloy’s only problem with Stalin is that he wasn’t black.

We were in DC a couple of weeks ago and saw the King Memorial and wasn’t impressed. They were putting the finishing touches on it but still, I thought it was mediocre.
However,the WW2 memorial was very impressive!

Looks more like Mugabe in a Mao suit.

“Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. Skousen claimed that an American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.””

There is a huge segment of people that are not happy with this memorial. Who in their right minds commissioned the Chinese do make this?

The statue is grotesque.
It is an insult to the memory of Dr. King.

I have in my mind a photograph of about 6-8 people dressed in black. They all have white, expressionless face masks. They are kneeling before the statue with their hands raised as in prayer and/or praise.

The same people who paid the King family ~$880,000 dollars to use his words and likeness.

Well since King was a Communist it seems fitting.

This depiction of King is slanderous, trashy amateur schlock. Far beyond ugly it is a vicious slander. This dispicable granite slab absolutely must be removed from public display and replaced with a genuinely artistic rendition of MLK worthy of his place in American history. It is an insult to one of the great moments in American history.
Is there a cultural committee in DC that has failed in its duty to approve monuments for their aesthetic and professional character?
The entire black community must be enraged that this ugly rendition of one of their greatest heroes has slandered him in the most formal and permanent manner possible.
Surely Martin’s enemies are celebrating.

Visit any post-Soviet country to see similar stalinist statues in public space. I’ve seen many and have photographs of them.
Back in 2008, another Post columnist, Marc Fisher, complained that the planned monument depicted King in the arrogant stance of a dictator, clad in a boxy suit, with an impassive, unapproachable mien, looking more like an East Bloc Politburo member than an inspirational, transformational preacher who won a war armed with nothing but truth and words.
