Michelangelo's Pietà
Michelangelo's Pietà
The problematic statues row has now taken a turn from political iconoclasm to literal iconoclasm with depictions of "white Jesus" next on the hit list for some of Black Lives Matter's more hardcore proponents.
Comment: These rejects are starting to look more and more like ISIS. It shouldn't be a surprise - they're both ponerogenic unions made up of mentally ill individuals.
Activist Shaun King has called for all the statues, murals, stained glass windows and paintings depicting the Messiah as having European features to come down because they are a "gross form of White Supremacy." To illustrate his point, King makes the perceptive observation that when Jesus, Mary and Joseph went into hiding while Herod engaged in a spot of infanticide in 1 AD Judea, the family hid in Egypt, not Denmark, so they would "blend in."
Comment: King is an idiot. Cultures tend to depict their religious figures with features matching their own. They always have, and probably always will. Birchall also makes this point below.
Han Chinese supremacy!
Black supremacy!
This is exactly the sort of mission creep many people worried about when the whole statues issue started to pick up steam last month. It began with slave owners, and one can see the argument there for taking them down, but it is worth noting that the statues themselves were not erected for their services to the Transatlantic slave trade.
Comment: In the name of standards, they should just agree to remove all statues produced prior to 2019, because everyone before then was racist and sexist. In fact, there should be no new statues erected (with an exception for Greta), because most people are still racist and sexist - according to these demented minds.
Comment: Remember this? Psychopathic traits linked to non-compliance with social distancing guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic. And SOTT's response: In this case, it's rich that the coughing woman was the one allegedly trying to enforce social distancing. We hadn't considered this in the above article, but we should have. Psychopaths will not only neglect social distancing because they don't care - they will use it as a means to terrorize people who are scared into believing it is necessary, even if that means coughing on your baby. Just another day among the wildlife on planet Earth!
