Somehow, I doubt MLK would be very flattered by it.

Some think it looks like a giant male organ. Looks to me like a huge misshapen eggplant or butternut squash.

I have been wrong.  I see now you can in fact, polish a turd.

Honestly, the sculptor couldn’t include their faces? He could have made a more powerful statement if he had widened the field of view.  A face, an expression could have made the piece impactful.  What he’s given us is nothing.

Scary Lucy




That's how the people who did this ... , whatever it is, cheated.
The most difficult and important part of a statue is getting the face right.
So ... they just left it out. No faces. Only hands and turds.
They simplified it to the point where it is unrecognizable.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Two years ago, Boston removed The Emancipator statue, a tribute to Lincoln freeing the slaves. This weekend, Boston unveiled its tribute to Martin Luther King, The Embrace.


OK, from that angle, it looks bad. Let’s try another angle.

After viewing that, I need a cigarette.

The most segregated city in the US finally gets around to honoring King, and this is what they do?  Did they not consider reviewing the plan with the King family first?

I'll take the opposing view.
It's the right image, in the appropriate location.

Boston today is a joke. Whenever we visit (Mr. M runs the marathon most years), however, we think of the city's great history, visiting the graves of the early patriots, Bunker Hill, the Old North Church, and the like, as well as notable sites adjoining the Common.

This piece of crap plopped in the middle of an historic site is a travesty.
