Why is the MLK National Memorial white?

and perhaps more importantly, why was it created by this Chinese man

Lei Yixin. Instead of someone from the black community?

Doesn't seem to make much sense to me. The statue was in talks in the early 90s and it was only developed and displayed recently. Seems like they made some bad choices.

But its in chocolate city Bucked20

well it seems to be made out of some type of stone or rock so yeah its white. It would be really corny for them to paint it. Also maybe the asian guy is a moument designer? why does it have to be made by a black person? Your missing the whole point of the monument really and quite frankly its goes against what MLK stood for.

The colour is the least of the problems of that sculpture.

Im no expert but the color seems to be determined by whatever the statue is made out of. It has nothing to do with skin color which is also part of what the MLK monument is supposed to stand for by the way. Also why is the stalin statue dark when he wasn't? Maybe it has nothing to do with the color eh?

Where did i say that? There exists in this world though materials of many colors this includes rocks and stone. Clearly whatever they used is white.

Ill admit it isnt the best wording so i apologize for that but what i meant is that whatever they used is white. My original point though is that the color dosent even matter really.

[QUOTE="lo_Pine"] It does look that way, doesn't it?lo_Pine

wasn't his whole point to have races be treated equally? I don't think it mattered if the artists wasn't black.NEWMAHAY

Yeah I'd say its missing the point of racial equality when you make a huge deal of the freaking color of the statue and the race of its creator. I don't think MLK would approve at all.

[QUOTE="lo_Pine"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]How the hell does it look that way?

Look at that aggressive stance that Chinese man portrayed MLK to have, he must have an anti-negro agenda.Fightingfan

Clearly sculptures are only meant to be done by people of the same generalized skin color, or else it is wrong and/or racist. The same goes for the stone used. Whoever did that Stalin statue must've been a truly evil human being.

The real answer is: why do you care, and why do you think it matters given the whole point of MLK's speech?

lol

That is all.

Cause Onyx is super brittle.

MLK not a major historical American figure? Shut your ignorant mouth and read a history book.

[QUOTE="leviathan91"]

[QUOTE="lo_Pine"] Oh. Maybe you're right. But it's not like MLK was a major historical figure I didn't grow up with from the time I could think through high school. But you could be right. Maybe I don't know.lo_Pine

Beer and typing don't mix.
