“I have a nightmare.” – MLK Jr., upon seeing sculpture.
Washington Examiner
A bronze sculpture called The Embrace honoring Martin Luther King Jr. was unveiled Friday in Boston, but the 20-feet long and 26-feet wide bronze sculpture is drawing a lot of mixed reviews.
The bronze structure, designed by conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, depicts the arms, shoulders, and hands of Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King hugging after he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
Plenty of social media users joined in to share their confusion about how Thomas designed the sculpture.
“I have some questions about the MLK sculpture in Boston,” said one social media user. Continues
While the sculpture lacks a head, some are seeing a male tail depending on how one views the work. Observe
2 random arms crapping a giant turd into 2 random arms crapping a giant turd and so on. Definitely says MLK to me
I’ve seen this work of art only in photos and from many different angles; from some of those angles it’s clear that the model wasn’t Jewish.
Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Let me go ahead and state the obvious, in my mind’s eye, it looks pornographic like a giant pair of hands grabbing a hold of a great big, large, penis. And that without a doubt is one of the ugliest statues ever created. What was this sculptor thinking?
Who was the artist, John Holmes?
It looks like a couple of disembodied hands fondling a giant turd.
Maybe they should put a doggy poop bag dispenser at the base to help the confused spectators figure it out!
The statue now forever known as Biggus Dickus.
Would the pigeons even want to poop on that ugly statue to desecrate it?
tax funded art i’m assuming, not sure what kind of freak would use his, her, it’s…money to pay for it.
Looks like a turd…..
Doc John,
My friend Joe Biden makes billions of dollars selling secrets to China.
Joe say’s your $10,000 to $20,000 is chump-change.
If I crapped that good I’d hold it up in Boston Common and brag about it too.
Het everybody. I just dropped this load and didn’t even bust a vein in my forehead.
Don’t judge a man by the color of his skin. Judge him on the quality of his bowel movements.
#22 of the 45 points to making the US Communist:
Make art ugly.
At least you had to work for it with the Land O’Lakes butter maiden.
Two sets of brown hands fighting over a watermelon. I think he nailed it!
Yeah, some sculptors have a lot of trouble with faces. Ever seen a face on a Calder or an O’Keefe?
One angle I saw it looked like hands holding a giant penis, another angle looked like hands holding a giant turd.
BEST COMMENT I SAW OUT THERE SOMEWHERE:
“IT’S TWUE!! IT’S TWUE!!
– LILI VON SHTUPP
Some artwork shouldn’t be left to interpretation by the artist.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The “Pieta,” “Moses,” and “Venus de Milo” are art.
This is an abomination – a total slap at MLK’s legacy.

Well, the Quiet Marxist aka MLK Jr.’s socialist children approved of this monstrosity. It’s suppose to represent MLK Jr. and his wife, Corretta’s love for each other – interlocking arms. Sure, despite the fact he cheated on her on a regular basis and she co-sponsored his grifting “civil rights” endeavors while ignoring his affairs. The turd reference seems appropriate – MLK Jr. was full of it. A useful idiot for the Marxist cause. Unapologetically, not a fan.
@erb — Exactly!
It’s recursive “art” — a turd with hands sculpting a turd with hands sculpting a turd with hands sculpting a turd with hands…
One set of arms is male (w/wedding ring), the other set is female (w/bracelet).
Sorry to spoil the fun. I think the work of art is outstanding. It symbolizes love.
“some are seeing a male tail”
How fitting.
Deu_28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail;
Brain fart, Forgot to add how ugly it is.
as is most art today.
It’s Jill trying to wrestle the duce away from Joe that he just fished out of his pants.
Peachy Keenan shows the correct angle. Gag warning.

Gen’l Malaise, there’s no accounting for taste.
I can’t decide if it’s a giant di** or a giant turd.
It’s terrible
Look like a reach around.
@geoff the aardvark: “And that without a doubt is one of the ugliest statues ever created. What was this sculptor thinking?”
He was thinking about how much he got paid for a piece of crap like that!
Um, yeah.
Did they not review the maquette from all angles before signing off on making the big one?
I actually see:
an ass, where the arms join
that meld into 2 arms,
holding a curved shit,
with a cock head at the end.
…and I’m not trying to be funny or a jerk this time.
it looks like tony podesta’s deviant statues
That substack angle looks like oral sex, just not sure if on itself or someone else.
What’s worse is that thing cost $10 million.
I know a chainsaw artist, he could have carved him and his wife for a lot less than that and it would have at least looked like people.
Didn’t know you could give yourself a blow job
Let’s have Kamala splain it to us.
All that’s missing are the moronic obama portraits.
Brown hands hugging a giant turd!
THIS article, NAILS IT.
PUBIC ART…..

Democrats don’t believe a bronzed turd is still a turd.
Pubic art, not public
trying to pick up a turd by the clean end

It was decided that the Mutter museum display of “My Giant Impacted Colon” would be much more of a fit as an homage to the civil rights ‘movement’.
