Is there any part of the "civil rights" industry that isn=92t 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=92t real
clear, but
it appears that they=92re concerned that some of the money was pocketed
instead.
One of the reasons they=92re concerned is that the sculptor hired is
from
Communist China, where labor=92s a lot cheaper than in America. The
Department
of Interior is also saying that they=92re 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=92s 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. =93I wasn=92t trying to
express
that King was confrontational, but that he was thoughtful,=94 the
Chinese
sculptor told Cox Newspapers. =93I just want to focus on King=92s ideals.
=85 We
shouldn=92t look at the color of someone=92s skin.=94
Mr. Lei also defended Mao. =93He isn=92t as bad as some people think,=94
the=
artist
told Cox, while acknowledging that the man who led China from 1949 to
1976
=93had made some mistakes.=94'
You know, like killing tens of millions of people. Other than that, he
was a
pretty decent guy.

THIS WHOLE ARGUMENT FALLS APART when we recall that "America's"
revered and cherished STATUE OF LIBERTY was CONCEIVED, FABRICATED, and
ERECTED in D.C. by FRENCHMEN!
