There must be something wrong with the content of the Chinese sculptor's character. It couldn't be the color of his skin, could it?
What does "fairness and justice" mean? Does it have something to do with being "judged by the color of their skin," or something?

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
The fact that there is squabbling over who, as in what race or ethnicity, does this particular sculpture says clearly enough that Brother King’s dream remains deferred. His successors have seen to that.
The Chinese are predominantly hard working, entrepreneurial and self sufficient - concepts which are anathema to the racial victimhood industry, so of course their color isn’t quite right for the job.
And Socialism, and plagiarism, etc.
Still admire the man for having the balls to march through SW Chicago, to say nothing of the March on Washington.
Does this mean no black artist could paint or sculpt a white person?? Nah, didn’t think so.
Isn’t it amazing how things have turned upside down. For heaven’s sake, what should King be known for if not advocating for a color-blind society? Now we have someone going balistic about a Chinaman creating King’s statue. I think he would be incredibly impressed at the prospect.
Now, off to my beef with this. 36 feet tall? Should this statue dwarf the memorials of our other nation’s greats? Absolutely not!
It grates me something fierce that our education system has tried to eclipse the founders and other great men, with the story of King. Give King his due as a figurehead if you will, but don’t you dare place him above our founders and other significant national personas.
King is by no means the most important man in U.S. History and the move to give him that title is terribly misguided and fraudulent.
....Geez, at three stories tall it’ll be taller than Honest Abe in the Lincoln Memorial....what a joke!....why do Rebublican politicians continue to walk around with their lips firmly sutured to black Democrat asses?
"Fairness and justice" means that black people have been oppressed, so they deserve special treatment. How dare they hire a Chinese sculptor??!! We want preferential treatment!
IMHO, because MLK was assassinated, the left has elevated him to the status of a god. Had he have lived, he would have been another Rev. Jessie Jackson or Rev. Sharpton. The FBI has a big file on him and it's sealed until the next decade or so. MLK had communist ties, plagarized his PhD thesis, and frequented prostitutes. No one is a saint, that's for sure. But since he was "martyred", he is now a saint.
Where is that Afro-Chinaman, now that we need him?
