A clunky eyesore compared to the other memorials on the Mall. It looks like a statue from a communist nation, over-sized and tasteless. And a 450’ wall?
“Critics have openly asked why a black...”
...kind of flies in the face of “I have a dream” doesn’t it?
And it looks that way. The instant I saw the photo on Drudge, that's what I thought of: "same style as MST sculptures". Hurm.
[Martin Luther King memorial...]
“Not that I condone violence,” but, have we ever wondered why we strike cords in the likes of McVeigh, Breivik, and breeds? A question I sometimes ask: What about those of us who worked our way up the social ladder rather than resorting to to violence to achieve it? Where are the recognition [that peaceful hard working folks] like us are due? Why don’t we for example have a Mennonites Day, a Jehovah Day, or, an Oregon Trail Memorial Day, memorials to groups who built the country peacefully hard work honesty and sacrifices? Where are the credits that they are due?
