Times Square just got a new 12-foot statue of an overweight black woman wearing casual clothes, and hardworking Americans are right to ask why our cities keep wasting space on woke nonsense. This bronze eyesore — paid for by your tax dollars — intentionally mocks the real heroes honored nearby, like World War I chaplain Father Francis Duffy, who earned medals for saving lives on battlefields. Instead of celebrating actual courage, New York elites force-feed us a fake “David” knockoff designed to shame traditional monuments and push radical identity politics.
The statue’s creator claims it “challenges who should be rendered immortal,” but regular folks know immorality when they see it. While our troops fight overseas and families struggle with inflation, coastal liberals spend millions to glorify an imaginary figure whose only accomplishment is existing while black and obese. This isn’t art — it’s a middle finger to every American who believes greatness should be earned, not handed out for victim points.
Michelangelo’s David symbolized Renaissance ideals of human potential. This woke abomination symbolizes modern progressives’ hatred of Western civilization. They replaced a masterpiece celebrating discipline and beauty with a bloated political prop celebrating… what? Laziness? Entitlement? The message is clear: tear down excellence, worship mediocrity.
Look at the location choice — right near Father Duffy’s memorial. They couldn’t wait to spit on a real hero’s legacy. Duffy risked his life carrying wounded soldiers through gunfire. This sculpture’s subject risks nothing except diabetes. Yet activists act like propping up a fictional plus-sized woman is somehow braver than battlefield valor.
New York’s elites always lecture us about “diversity,” but their version excludes anyone who loves America. They’ll honor imaginary black women but remove statues of Washington and Jefferson. They’ll spend millions on bronze fat acceptance propaganda while veterans sleep in streets. This isn’t inclusion — it’s cultural arson.
The artist says his work creates “meaningful connections,” but parents walking past this monstrosity aren’t feeling connected. They’re shielding their kids’ eyes and wondering why their city feels like a dying mall. Real art uplifts. This thing depressingly screams that we’ve abandoned standards to please Twitter mobs.
Conservatives don’t hate modern art. We hate lies. This statue lies about what matters — suggesting that biological facts and historical truths are less important than leftist feelings. They swapped a warrior priest for a woke sermon in metal, then gaslight us into calling it progress.
Here’s the truth they hate: monuments should honor real heroes who built civilization, not imaginary ones who leech off it. Until we stop letting activists vandalize public spaces with political junk, our cities will keep sinking into chaotic playgrounds for the unhinged. America deserves better than bronze participation trophies.
