It’s very complex, especially as we are talking about a subject is nothing but opinions and interpretations. But I couldn’t agree more. I’m happy that black artists are producing more black art for us to experience, I just feel like the statue turned out how it did (headless) because it’s black and that’s why my complaint is what it is

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
