    Glad it’s in Boston, bunch of losers out there. They wouldn’t know what good art is if it hits them in the butthole. Either redo/take it down or be ridiculed for all of eternity.

    One of the biggest joke is for conservatives to claim they appreciate MLK.
    They don't even like the denatured MLK as a nice guy who was concerned only about voting rights (and not the guy who professed to be a pacifist against the Vietnam War, identified with democratic socialism and was for economic justice for all. MLK and who was killed while advocating for poor janitors. As for voting rights the conservatives gerrymander and voter suppress you know who cause they get wiped out among African Americans.

    Every single time and I mean every single time a conservatives brings up MLK and how his activism is "different" I'll post MLK's quote about economic justice:

    “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power”.

    And they literally always shut their mouth on the subject and move on to another talking point.

    Open racists, the ones who openly label themselves as white supremacists will readily acknowledge they hate MLK and accurately label him as a anti-capitalist bordering on Marxist. The closet racist Conservatives who account for more than half of conservatives will ignore this part because it breaks a lot of their talking point narratives.

    Martin Luther King on Capitalism in His Own Words
    November 23, 2017TPNS
    https://mlkglobal.org/2017/11/23/martin-luther-king-on-capitalism-in-his-own-words/

    I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952.

    In a sense, you could say we’re involved in the class struggle.” – Quote to New York Times reporter, José Igelsias, 1968.

    Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis.” – Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967.

    Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.” – Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961.

    We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.”- Report to SCLC Staff, May 1967.

    The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” – Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967.



    You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism.” – Speech to his staff, 1966.

    [W]e are saying that something is wrong … with capitalism…. There must be better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.” – Speech to his staff, 1966.

    Boston is widely considered to have some of the best institutions not only in the US but worldwide. (That includes art.) But I guess a guy with a moniker of a girl twerking has an expert opinion too…

    Is this what Bernie Sanders fans want to do with your tax money?
    Are they going to make a 10 million dollar statue of Ray Charles with just giant sunglasses and no face ?

    Lol, they never cease to amaze me. Maybe they make a statue of gay Indian Velma, the one beacon of light for the woke community everywhere.
