Gorilla Statue Removed After Complaints It Was ‘Racially Insensitive’

CORSICANA (CBSDFW.COM) – A statue of a gorilla, and prime attraction for kids at the Community Park playground in Corsicana was removed by the city.

A spokesperson for the city said some community members found the gorilla offensive – racially insensitive — in some form, and requested its removal from the park.

“We can understand this, because we have an obligation to listen to all our citizens, to determine what is offensive and not, especially in public places,” said Corsicana Mayor Don Denbow.

LOL!

Sounds like an exchange from a local Dallas elementary school.

It never ends................

Now if they had a statue of Chewbacca, that might be.....I mean.......maybe.....insensitive towards someone.......

[pabianice]

I heard the people suffering from Hypochromic anemia are demanding all old green statues be torn down because of disease insensitivity.

I’d pay to have a statue of the city manager in the cage.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Wow.. Once again the Marxist Word Police show they are the Biggest Racists Alive.. Project much? They need to get a life!

[Conserv]

An update at the top of the article now states that the gorilla will be returned to the cage as soon as weather permits.

Harambe is deeply saddened.

A gorilla trying to ‘pass’.

In Texas? Really?

The California migration is starting to work.

This 41 year old ‘kid’ wishes he was born when you were.

The amount of stupid walking around me is unbelievable and increases every year.

But Snowflake was “Woke” and recognized his white privilege. Drove a Prius with Coexist sticker.

I find it offensive that anyone makes a connection between gorillas and blacks. For those few ignorant, let them bask in their infinite stupidity and just be ignored.

[Trillian]

Someone explain to be how a blue inflatable sales gorilla is racist? These retards see race in everything.

[Mr. Jeeves]

It would be insensitive to many neighborhoods to put up a statue of an animal that has a higher IQ than the average resident. :)

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“Who looks at a gorilla and thinks “black people”?”

Black people know.

[ALASKA]

The name of the Presidential residence offends me.

Agamemnon, you obviously haven't kept up with evolutionists. The leading lights of Darwinism - Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, and most evolutionary biologists agree with you that all races are the same. In fact they don't even admit to the existence of "races".

But one has to be as blind as a bat or delusional to deny the existence of races, or to disagree with what Huxley said...

"No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the AVERAGE Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the {AVERAGE} white man.....it is simply incredible to think that.....he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried on by thoughts and not by bites."

Following is one of the facts that Huxley didn't know in his time, but that we know today, (though he deduced it simply by believing his lying eyes)

It is tragic that this is reality, but denying it doesn't solve the problem.

which “negros” are they talking about? Those descended from slaves? The average IQ of innner city kids in a cohort that includes kids with brain damage from lead poisoning/fetal alcohol syndrome? (if ten percent of the kids have brain damage, the average IQ goes down... get rid of the cause and the average IQ is more accurate).

Malnutrition causes a lot of low IQ’s in Africa, so don't use a cohort from there either.

The leading lights of Darwinism all used the same argument against the Irish and Jews in the early 20th century.

and of course, IQ measurement only measures one type of intelligence and is culturally biased.
