sculpture of "civil rights" icon MLK.

Is there any part of the "civil rights" industry that isn’t corrupt? You
may
not be aware of this, but the feds gave $10 million dollars to a
"non-profit"
group to pay for the sculpting of a statue of Martin Luther King, on the
condition that they had to raise a matching amount privately.
Well, the 28 foot high sculpture is nearing completion, and the feds are
now
investigating the group that got the money. The details aren’t real clear,
but
it appears that they’re concerned that some of the money was pocketed
instead.
One of the reasons they’re concerned is that the sculptor hired is from
Communist China, where labor’s a lot cheaper than in America. The
Department
of Interior is also saying that they’re not happy with the design, that it
looks too much like Social Realist statues from formerly communist
countries
in Eastern Europe, and the USSR. Which is understandable, since the
sculptor
(who’s now crying "racism") is a fan of Chairman Mao:
'In a recent interview from his home in Changsha, China, Mr. Lei defended
his
work and said he was the victim of racial bias. “I wasn’t trying to
express
that King was confrontational, but that he was thoughtful,” the Chinese
sculptor told Cox Newspapers. “I just want to focus on King’s ideals. … We
shouldn’t look at the color of someone’s skin.”
Mr. Lei also defended Mao. “He isn’t as bad as some people think,” the
artist
told Cox, while acknowledging that the man who led China from 1949 to 1976
“had made some mistakes.”'
You know, like killing tens of millions of people. Other than that, he was
a
pretty decent guy.
