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.

It looks like a barrel cactus with a head on top.
And is it bad lighting, or does the head not have eyes?

In five years, woke protestors will discover this statue is racist, and tear it down. The university will kowtow in apology.

Do these efftards have a clue how racist this statue is ? Black women are not only blind, but come out of watermelons ? Whut ? The Klan couldn’t have designed something more offensive.
