NYC artist builds a statue insulting to black women

An artist in what is now one of the shoddiest cities in the USA built a statue of an obese black woman:

A new statue of an overweight black woman placed in Times Square in New York City is inspiring a lot of reactions online, especially since it’s being compared to Michelangelo’s “David.”

Times Square Arts recently erected the statue by artist Thomas J Price, which is called “Grounded in the Stars,” as a temporary display in the tourist-heavy area of Manhattan. There will also be a “Man Series” of billboards displayed in the area.

The Times Square website says of the piece: “Price’s multi-channel presentation on the screens and sculptural installation on the plaza below forms a two-part takeover in Times Square that foregrounds the intrinsic value of the individual and amplifies traditionally marginalized bodies on a monumental scale.”

It's insulting to the intellect how obesity is described as though it's literally acceptable, and what they're doing is humiliating black women. Here's a brief video provided by Matt Walsh:

They tear down statues of American heroes and replace them with statues of random obese black women. That’s because the Left has no historical heroes. Everyone who was born before approximately 2005 is inherently problematic.

If anything, obesity is not something to celebrate, is very unhealthy for women, and again, what the artist did disrespects black women, and even invokes crude stereotypes. Yet this is no shock a sewage drain like NYC could host something like this. Maybe that's one of the reasons why, besides not being born there, I never felt any attachment to NYC, and while I'd visited there a time or three in the past, I don't want to visit there again. Where the city's at today, in addition to having so much antisemitism and racism around, is unbearable.
