DEI is a critically important purpose.

OMG... there you have it...

 

[Jezcoe]

towards what end?? to provoke is thoughtful..what am i missing except provoke -i see nothing thoughtful

Then don't look at it.

It's a temporary art installation.

The scary large black lady will be gone by summer.

You can't deny it's got you going.

He got Distinguished Service Cross ...I cant see ANYTHING purposeful here except DEI

He wasn't that attractive... which is what I was addressing.

OMG... there you have it...

Yep. This is what they teach as basic social skills to kindergarten kids. In Trump‘s America it has become a dirty word. Someone needs to slap these people upside the head and teach them some manners.

she's overweight, she's wearing a T shirt and shorts. I appreciate any pretty woman. this isn't

That's a cultural issue, in the mind of the beholder.

See what the statue is provoking?

I am only commenting because of it's prominence..if it were anywhere else it would be "OK so what"
Are we to the point where 12 foot statue in Times Square is not to be commented on? no thanks

So anytime black statues are displayed it’s DEI Black people should be just hidden away

Think of it as a Confederate monument.

Well maybe that is the purpose. Everything does not have to be to your liking

The point is what you make it.

This time last year there was a giant Hog Dog that ejaculated confetti every day.

Somehow that went under the radar of the conservative outrage machine.

In a closet, it's fine.

Statues are typically aspirational figures.

It's not shocking but quite telling that this is how the left mentally pictures an aspirational black woman.

Terrifying, isn't it?

 

[WorldWatcher]

Kinda looks like Letitia James to me.

I can see why New Yorkers would be proud of the lady that convicted Trump for felony fraud and won a $500,000,000 judgement against him.

so there is a rather unattractive 12 foot statue in Time Square - can we comment on that?

Why? I don't live in New York. Why would I care? We have sculptures all over the place. Mostly from Burning Man.

This one is ugly. Comment on this?

This one is pleasant. Comment?

This one is interesting. Kinda ugly, but interesting. Comment?

In the Time Warner Center up the road from this a bit are a pair of giant statues of a man and a woman... both naked... both fat... and the funny thing is that the male figure has a tiny penis that has been polished to a golden bronze from all of the tourist taking pictures of themselves touching it.

So.... aspirational?

Here is a statue of Santa in Oslo holding a dildo.

'Santa'

A bold and controversial statue of a Christmas icon, blending adult undertones with playful humor, stands year-round in a traffic circle.

All statues are not aspirational figures. Most are a form of art and expression

DEI i guess.

It's a riddle, and you solved it. Its one of the white men after a triple trans: transfemale, transblack, transkilos

Never downplay the uplifting experience of polishing the golden mushroom.
