Well if you knew how to read you would have noticed me say “when you get here open your phone”….but i guess reading is hard for you and thats why you ask such stupid questions….

I will say, it’s 10,000x better when you see it in person. I was skeptical when I was told that, but it’s true. Still not perfect, but it is pretty sweet from ~70% viewing angles when you’re actually there. I also like how you can walk through it

I feel like the words “traffic violence” is meant to (probably correctly) insight some reaction. On the face these were crashes that killed people violently… but saying “traffic violence” implies that these were intentional events… you can make the argument that the hit and run and the DUI deaths were intentional but that accounts for half. People need to pay attention while driving and since we’re in a world where automobiles and trucks exist they need to pay attention while walking and biking too. I walk a lot in my small neighborhood and people drive like idiots. If the intent is to write in a way to anger people into paying attention there might be a better way to convey the message I guess thats my point. I don’t believe in traffic accidents but I think calling it traffic violence is too extreme. Again just my opinion.

Well the thing you are holding in your hand is called a phone. On that phone there is an app called google. When you get here First open google then type “gym near me.” Welcome to mass dipshit!

This was my main gripe. We already have a lack of representation when it comes into black/African American people in American history. Now that we get a statue, it can’t even show faces? In 30 years, if it’s still up, how can anyone look at a picture of that statue and know it has anything to do with black love? I’m happy for the statue, and the symbolism, I just feel like it wasn’t done tastefully

Didn’t like it and saw it in person.

I tried to keep a neutral mentality. Maybe the internet spoiled it for me.

There was this old lady in front of me with her husband and i could hear her say “it looks like a giant poop” i had to chuckle a little bit. GF who liked it wasn’t happy that i was laughing but yeah

The photograph itself is iconic and powerful. I have absolutely ZERO artistic / architectural background yet I may have looked at the 3D rendering and may have come to the conclusion that.... ya, the layman looking at this is going to have absolutely no clue what they're looking at.

Right. Not that I need it because I got a satisfactory answer from someone. What I was looking for would have been the next step to take should I not have gotten satisfaction from the town and needed to go beyond that. Thanks for your reply

I saw it in person and like it. I do agree that I think if you included their faces 99% of the criticism wouldn't exist. I like that it A.) includes Coretta, B.) is larger than life, and C.) allows you to walk underneath it so you can be in the middle of the embrace.
