The University of Pennsylvania on Tuesday installed a 16-foot, 5,900 pound bronze-cast sculpture of a Black female figure at its main entrance to campus.

Though in the planning for more than a year, its unveiling comes as the United States welcomes its first Black female vice president elect and as college campuses across the country hear calls to become more inclusive, as concern about racial injustice mounts.

“Its enthralling presence of Black beauty with artistic references to the African diaspora will draw the attention of everyone walking or driving past one of the most traveled corners in West Philadelphia,” Penn president Amy Gutmann said of the piece, titled “Brick House,” that was installed at the 34th and Walnut Streets gateway to the College Green.

Ow she's a brick house
She's mighty mighty just lettin' it all hang out
Ow she's a brick house

Nope - she can’t be American - has to be drawn like she’s from Africa.

Why did they have to make it “Ugly Art”? Looks like her head is coming out of a watermellon.

If you start calling it watermellon head, other than being called a racist, it will be quickly removed or modified.

Did this giant black women actually DO anything to merit being memorialized, or is her only virtues her black skin and kinky hair?

Its only perpetuating racism. If I were black, I would be embarrassed by this.

Baby got back lyrics:

Oh, my, God Becky, look at her butt
It is so big, she looks like
One of those rap guys’ girlfriends.
But, ya know, who understands those rap guys?
They only talk to her, because,
She looks like a total prostitute, ‘kay?
I mean, her butt, is just so big
I can’t believe it’s just so round, it’s like out there
I mean gross, look
She’s just so, black

[dfwgator]

Looks like a big Aunt Jemima bottle.

5,900 pound? Must be Stacey Abrams.

....on a diet.

Too skinny looking for Abrams.

[americas.best.days...]

Is that it?

Why is there a black lady’s head atop a toilet plunger?

Seems kind of rascist to me.
