They tear down statues to put up filth like this.
The left hates Martin Luther King. They stand against everything he believed and he preached. More than anything,“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
‘Woke’ $10M MLK ‘penis’ statue insults black community: Coretta Scott King kin
By Jesse O’Neill, NY Post, January 15, 2023;
Story continues below advertisementEven some kin of Coretta Scott King hate the new $10 million sculpture just dedicated to her and her iconic civil rights leader husband in Boston — with a cousin claiming it “looks like a penis.”
The massive bronze piece, titled “The Embrace,” features two sets of arms holding each other, an artistic interpretation of the classic photo of Coretta and hubby Martin Luther King Jr. hugging after he won the Nobel Peace Price in 1964.
“The mainstream media … was reporting on it like it was all beautiful, ’cause they were told they had to say that,” Seneca Scott, Coretta’s cousin, told The Post by phone Sunday, referring to the new artwork on the Boston Common.
“But then when it came out, a little boy pointed out — ‘That’s a penis!’ and everyone was like, ‘Yo, that’s a big old dong, man,’” said the 43-year-old Oakland, Calif., resident.
“If you had showed that statute to anyone in the ’hood, they’d have been like, ‘No, absolutely not.’ “
“The Embrace” has been criticized for looking more like a phallic image than a depiction of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, embracing.
He added scornfully to the Compact mag, “Ten million dollars were wasted to create a masturbatory metal homage to my legendary family members — one of the all-time greatest American families.”
Seneca told The Post that “woke” culture allowed the expensive abstract experiment to come to fruition.
Members of the King family last week unveiled the artwork near where MLK and Coretta first met in college.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. hugs his wife Coretta.Martin Luther King III approved the piece, which was designed by conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas for the organization Embrace Boston.
The artwork’s funding was the result of a public/private fundraising partnership, the city of Boston said on its online site. It’s unclear how much public money may have gone into the sculpture.
“When we recognize that all storytelling is an abstraction, all representation is an abstraction, hopefully it allows us to be open to more dynamic and complex forms of representation that don’t stick us to narrative that oversimplifies a person or their legacy, and I think this work really tries to get to the heart of that,” the artist says on his website.

Would not expect anything less of the progressive, commie, demo, left who put up a statue to honor a low life criminal like floyd, who died of an overdose of fentanyl. and also have statues of stalin and lenin and remove those honoring General Lee and other.

Perhaps, it should be known as the James Earl Ray Memorial? A greater insult to MLK couldn’t be displayed.

And they tore down our beautiful heritage statues and put up insults like the George Floyd monstrocities.
$10 Million of our hard earned taxpayer money for what?
So much insanity in the world today and I believe it only makes sense if viewed as Obama / islamic “Bitch Slapping of America” events.

They don’t want any actual imagery of MLK because they want you to forget him. They can always remove the statue at a later date.

Advice to future sculptors. If you’re going create a phallic symbol, square it off. See Washington Monument.
