    New Statue Unveiled In Response To Richmond's Confederate Monuments
    The statue called Rumors of War was built by Wiley, widely known for painting the official portrait of President Barack Obama. After spending several weeks on display in Times Square, the three-story-tall statue was officially unveiled Tuesday at its permanent home in front of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

    "It is monumental and not just a figure of speech, it is truly monumental, in terms of its ability to be a seismic shift in how we perceive and how we understand ourselves as people living here," Valerie Cassel Oliver, the museum's curator of modern and contemporary art, told NPR.

    The museum wrote that the new sculpture "commemorates African American youth lost to the social and political battles being waged throughout our nation."

  2. At this point we should just be thankful that the statue is not of some dem pervert sodomizing a horse.

    Not that I want to give them any ideas.

    Statues are art and once you start censoring art then cultural dissolution is not far off.

  4. That's the whole point of it. Wiping out a culture that opposes them politically. It's a form of cultural genocide that marxists and islamists both favor.

    There’s no statues of King George because he was an enemy of America, just like the confederacy.

  6. Hate is fuel for progressives. Everything they do is motivated by hate for someone or something. That's why mob violence comes so easily to them.

    Cons:
    Giving participation trophies to the losers makes them weak.
    Also cons:

    The fact that most of the founders owned slaves at one point or another is pretty messed up.

    I get that.

    But the founders would regard us as monsters for murdering unborn babies. Had they foreseen that abomination they would have encoded our Constitution to prevent it.

  10. Not a problem. The libs found that secret place in the constitution where the founders hid it.

    It was embedded down in and under the The Right to Privacy Clause.

    Problem is no one has ever found that clause. You need 3-D glasses and a sip of kool-aid to find it.


    Supreme Court reviewing Roe V. Wade. Ruthie there in the middle has spotted The Privacy Clause with the help of a little Noni Juice and putting some Moody Blues records on.
