And of course they'll try to gaslight us and others into thinking that we are the real perverts projecting our perversion onto people and things just for "looking too deep into it" and having these sort of thoughts cross our minds when we see stuff life this. I didn’t know what the hell I was looking at. I didn't know if it was 2 girls scissoring, a pair of spread out legs and buttocks with hands as feet grabbing someone's thigh, 2 arms with 2 hands carrying a giant yam, or a mutant creature from Ripley's "Believe It or Not" museum. When I see this "statue", I immediately see and think of sex, body parts, and weird innuendo going on, not the legendary icon Martin Luther King Jr.
This seems low-key like some bullshit Kanye West would come up with while thinking it's "revolutionary genius."
This is a picture of Hank Willis Thomas, the Black artist who created this monstrosity.
This is not a wholesome statue of Martin Luther King Jr, our honorable freedom fighter. Just Black body parts.
Absolute blasphemy. This is why I don't like when politicians, activists, and others refer to Black people as "Black bodies" even if some of them are well-meaning. We are more than our damn bodies,
we are sentient human beings and
we are the original human beings. This (un)intentional way of dehumanizing and fetishizing us by claiming we are "Black bodies" leads to results such as this.
How the hell do you erase and leave out the face of MLK and his whole body and only use his 2 body parts of MLK and the person he was hugging? This reminds me of "the Delectable Negro" but just with chopped arms and hands only. It's nothing but whitewashed, revisionist, MLK porn in physical, sensual form for the all non-Blacks, racists, vultures, Rachel Dolezals, wiggers, chiggers, sambos, and tapdancers to fetishize, touch and feel on, and form kumbaya circles around to feel better about themselves.
