Statues of Random Fat Black Women Popping Up Worldwide

While it is not allowed to have statues of Thomas Jefferson or Teddy Roosevelt, among others, in New York City, a 12 ft bronze statue of a random fat black woman just standing there is certainly permitted.

The new statue in Times Square is named Grounded in the Stars. The puropse of it, according to it’s creator Thomas J Price, is to be a “stark contrast” to two statues in Duffy Square of Father Francis Duffy and George M. Cohan, and a way of “disrupting traditional ideas” of what a “triumphant figure” is.

In fact, this exact thing with statues of obese random black women is a thing all over the world.

Similar statues installed recently in Florence, San Francisco, Rotterdam, & New York – all by the same (!) grifter-artist, “Thomas J Price,” all with high levels of federal, municipal, private funding. Need to gut these bureaucracies, banish this artist, retake cities. https://t.co/gX3V64QDHP pic.twitter.com/fP1I28IjsG
