You know how New York City removed statues of Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt?
Well, they've found a new statue that they must feel better represents modern American values.
An obese black woman.
Yes, it's Madea: The Statue!
For one month, sculptor Thomas J. Price's tribute to fat people will stand tall in Times Square, 12 feet to be exact, and help the city appreciate ... fatties.
A fictionalized character constructed from images, observations, and open calls spanning between Los Angeles and London, the young woman depicted in Grounded in the Stars carries familiar qualities, from her stance and countenance to her everyday clothing. In her depiction, one recognizes a shared humanity, yet the contrapposto pose of her body and the ease of her stance is a subtle nod to Michelangelo's David. Through scale, materiality, and posture, Grounded in the Stars disrupts preconceived ideas of what defines a triumphant figure and challenges who should be rendered immortal through monumentalization.
They're seriously comparing this statue to Michelangelo's David?
If you want to know how this is promoting Marxism, look directly at this:
Price's multi-channel presentation on the screens and sculptural installation on the plaza below forms a two-part takeover in Times Square, foregrounding the intrinsic value of the individual and amplifying traditionally marginalized bodies on a monumental scale.
Anytime you see something about "marginalized" people, it's using the oppressed/oppressor language of Marxist class struggle - in this case, the dumb racial stuff the Marxists keep pushing in America.
The official website for Times Square also says that Price's artwork "confronts preconceived notions of identity and representation," which is also standard commie gobbledegook.
Installed at ground level on a wide low base, the work invites engagement with the hundreds of thousands of people who traverse the plazas each day, the woman in Grounded in the Stars cuts a stark contrast to the pedestaled permanent monuments — both white, both men — which bookend Duffy Square, while embodying a quiet gravity and grandeur.
A quiet gravity??
This statue has its own gravitational pull!
