Unless you're the artsy type, there's no way you would like this statue

 

[Chiyo]

Figures in one of the most racist cities in America.


Yea this is unacceptable

Nice intentions, poor execution.

I understand artists tries to express their work in abstract ways, but some shit just be too much. No face. Just arms. That could be anybody.

Bruh needs to put down the pipe

Maybe a smaller version of it somewhere else but because it's Boston they needed a full statue of MLK and Ms's detailed and all cause that city needs to see more people of color.

It's called that now but in a decade it'll be renamed to Harry and Larry and be the backdrop to gay's getting married....

Just what's needed. More sculptures in lieu of eliminating the reasons for the struggle.

 

[xfactor]

No need to disrespect Martin “Dr. Luke” and Coretta Scott-King like that.

these so-called artists today are a joke.

 

[God-Of-War-420]

10 million dollars that they could have used for literally anything else.

People may be put off by the lack of their physical features. I think the artist was trying to convey their enduring love for each other.
If sculpted in that context I'm okay with it, but I understand why it may have to grow on others.

[Bumpee]

Trying way too hard to be clever and different

 

[0utsyder]

...So a statue of MLK and his wife....and it is just a pair of hands...that could be ANYONE'S hands!!!

 

[deputy dawg]

How did it get past the committee that had final approval?

Was there a contest?

Let's see the runner-up and 3rd. 4th & 5th place finalists!

(I done caught double-space freddy fever behind this shit!)

 

[God-Of-War-420]

This angle just looks wrong.

[lazarus]

bruh, for public art, it needs to be understood by the majority.

this abstract shit is for a museum.

 

[Complex]

Exact same way I feel about the African American Museum in DC

This shit looks weird as fuck from the outside

Whenever I'm driving past it I just sort of look, and still think... that's interesting

 

[0utsyder]

This angle just looks wrong.

Like a pair of womens hands holding a giant slug!

Oh he black??? Never mind this is beautiful!

So is Herschel walker what’s your point

 

[footloose]

In the most racist state up north you have the opportunity to put a monumental statue in the middle of the city where Lincoln is seen with his hand on a black man’s head kneeling and you make dr Martin Luther arm your monument.
even the Olmecs were smart enough to make a bust with black facial features that can’t be denied
We need a background check on this guy
