Apparently, Giant Statues of Black Women Are a Thing Now Globally – Twitchy

As Twitchy reported earlier, New York City unveiled a new 12-foot statue in Times Square. It’s a plus-sized, anonymous black woman. There was singing and celebration at the unveiling. Apparently, Times Square Arts was behind it.

What we didn’t know until we saw the replies is that this is apparently a thing, globally. People sent in pics from around the world.

Rotterdam Central Station has one.

And there’s a gold statue of a black woman checking her phone in Piazza della Signoria in Florence.

We’ll admit, these are better than the giant Afro-pick that New Orleans set up just in time for Juneteenth.

Reportedly, the same “artist” is behind all of these masterpieces:

Similar statues installed recently in Florence, San Francisco, Rotterdam, & New York – all by the same (!) grifter-artist, “Thomas J Price,” all with high levels of federal, municipal, private funding. Need to gut these bureaucracies, banish this artist, retake cities. https://t.co/gX3V64QDHP pic.twitter.com/fP1I28IjsG

Apparently she has a big family. We have one of her cousins on speaker phone in Piazza della Signoria in Florence 🙁 This is intentional uglification, the normalisation of our demoralisation 🙁 pic.twitter.com/cBq3Tsyf1V

Wait did they really put up a giant gold statue of a random black woman looking at her phone? https://t.co/A3YjElztOC

Statues used to celebrate virtue, sacrifice, or greatness. Now we get monuments to mediocrity, gold-plated reminders that narcissism is the new heroism. This isn’t “representation,” it’s aesthetic surrender.

Does the phone constantly play a loud speakerphone conversation?

Who’s funding these?

The cities, and by extension, the taxpayers, we assume.

So there’s statues of random chonky black chicks all over the world?

Yep. New York City is late to the party.
