The city of Boston recently unveiled a statue named “The Embrace” to celebrate the 37th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and citizens across the nation were stunned to see just how horrible it looks. Although it was meant to resemble the moment MLK Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, discovered he won the Nobel Peace Prize, many are claiming it appears rather phallic, more like human waste if you will.
The commission was done by Hank Willis Thomas, an artist from New Jersey who has spent his career creating racialized pieces. While there are hefty plagiarism accusations lobbied against him, this was one design that only he could do. Thankfully, the $10,000,000 statue did not come from taxpayer dollars, but rather the MASS Design Group. No matter which angle you view the sculpture at, it objectively does not resemble beauty whatsoever. It took several twitter users to find that at its very best, the statue resembles both of them with their heads cut off.
So…it’s a statue of MLK and his wife with their heads removed?

Others were upset that they would tarnish the legacy of one of America’s greatest civil rights heroes, but this type of thinking fundamentally supports the modern left’s agenda today. They would have you believe the Civil Rights Era is the greatest time period in American history and that we need to replicate the racial tensions of that time today. They have no respect for the founding of our country, which is why they consistently prop up people who would work against its core values. Thankfully there are some conservatives waking up to the fact that MLK Jr. was not the saint that popular media deems him to be.
MLK cheated on his wife with 40 women, may have fathered a child with a mistress, was funded by communists, laughed as his friend raped a girl the same year King won the Nobel Peace Prize, and inaugurated “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Happy MLK Day! https://t.co/XNQ4bWsxDG

It isn’t that conservatives are against the idea of equal rights, but rather that we recognize how hard the left is pushing critical race theory to our youth. There is a real disdain for our founding fathers, the revolutionaries who liberated us from the crown. Their faults are amplified to untrue degrees in order for us to artificially worship different idols. They already took God out of schools, so the next logical step to derailing society would be taking away its old heroes.
It is a lot less difficult to get the average person to support liberal and communist ideals alike if they believe it is the right thing to do. Humans are social by nature, wanting to avoid conflict when possible. If they are taught that our culture is bad, it will cease to exist. If they are taught MLK Jr. was right about everything, the truth will act as a repellent to rational discourse. It is the story of America that is in fact beautiful, and it is our responsibility to keep its legacy alive.
