A massive bronze sculpture entitled ‘The Embrace’ has been slammed by the family of the late Martin Luther King for resembling a penis.
The artwork has been drawing confused looks in the Boston neighbourhood where the iconic civil-rights leader hails from.
Supposedly, the artwork features two sets of arms holding each other in an embrace, but as one Boston resident pointed out, ‘Yo, that’s a big old Dong, man’:
“If you had showed that statute to anyone in the ’hood, they’d have been like, ‘No, absolutely not.’ “
The family of the slain MLK have blamed ‘woke culture’ for allowing the statue to have been created:

Perhaps they have a point as mainstream media have called the erection ‘beautiful’, perhaps in fear of being called racist for questioning the beauty of a pro-black erection:
“Ten million dollars were wasted to create a masturbatory metal homage to my legendary family members — one of the all-time greatest American families.”
Have a look at the sculpture and decide for yourself:
There is no angle from which this statue looks good. No angle from which it does not give a weirdly sexual impression. The intended subject matter: the sweet embrace photo, is a lie. MLK cheated on Coretta multiple times. The entirety of this art is intentionally ugly and false. pic.twitter.com/eAPG2C91wD

The statue was unveiled last week near the site where MLK and his wife first met in college.
