You are mad because a rotating modern art exhibition has a black woman statue?

Yeah NaMBLA. You sure aren't racist at all.

Obviously I'm racist against black people. Realist is a better word though. Facts are what they are.

And no one is mad. We are all laughing at how dumb you are.

And what facts, exactly, make it ridiculous to have a modern art statue of a black woman go on public display for a year or whatever it is?

Good luck justifying that with NaMBLA-stistics

Modern art doesn't belong in a place like Trafalgar Square.

Modern art doesn't belong anywhere. It is anti-art, intentionally shorn of any aesthetic beauty and deliberately hostile to the artistic legacy of Western Civilization from the last 2,000 years. It is worse than ugly; it is subversive, and in a less degenerate world we would never accept its presence in public, much less in a major square dedicated to one of the crowning military achievements of the British Empire.

Oh this is timely. Talk about a study in contrasts:

I am calling on the Smithsonian Institution to honor the Life and Legacy of George Washington, America’s Greatest Hero, with a five-year exhibition at the National Museum of American History, beginning now, and continuing through, February 22, 2032, the 300th anniversary of Washington’s birth.

I am also calling on the Smithsonian to erect a 30-foot “Colossus statue” of the Father of Our Country outside the Museum, to replace the so-called “Infinity” sculpture that stands there today. That strange modernist sculpture tells visitors nothing about America, inspires no one, and honors none of our Great American Heroes.

George Washington does. He is easily America’s Greatest Hero. Without him, our Country and our Freedoms wouldn’t exist.

And yet, during our Nation’s 250th Anniversary Year, the Museum has failed to give George Washington and our other Founding Fathers the celebration they deserve. Washington’s Heroic Crossing of the Delaware on December 25, 1776—One of the greatest moments and turning points of the Revolution—is not even mentioned in the Museum. His Victory at Trenton, and the stories of the Americans who fought and died for our Independence, deserve far more attention.

Under recently ended leadership, the Smithsonian created a “Center for Restorative History,” and commissioned a “Decolonization Plan,” to focus attention overwhelmingly on those who have been oppressed, but there is almost no attention paid to those who triumphed over great oppression, and against great odds.

One current exhibit describes the period of 1492 to 1776, including Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the New World, and the European settlement of America, as the “Great Unsettling” of the Continent.

That tells you all you need to know about how twisted the thinking is today at the Smithsonian.

Instead of a Center for Restorative History, America’s National History Museum should have a Center for American Heroes.

Tell the stories of Americans who faced great challenges, overcame them, built great things, defended our Country, made America better, and helped our Nation more fully live up to our Founding Ideals.

That is a History worth teaching, because it is America’s story.

Instead of focusing on ideological activism, the leaders of America’s taxpayer-funded, National History Museum should be focused on telling America’s story—fairly, accurately, and coherently—and there is no better person to start with than George Washington.

Rugian:

"Modern art doesn't belong in a place like Trafalgar Square."

They instituted use of the remaining equestrian plinth for modern art installations when I was still at university.

The Royal Society for Arts proposed it, and successive Mayors and GLA of various parties have continued to fund the scheme for over twenty years.

At this point, it's a London institution.

Who cares what you think, tourist?

Of course, you only weigh in with this important artistic contribution 30 years late because the latest installation depicts a black woman and it's triggered racists who live thousands of miles away. Can't you just all fuck off and mind your own business and stop trying to ruin everything for everyone else?

"Colossus statue”

We already have one of those in Trafalgar Square.
