Robert E. Lee Statue Replaced With Statue of Pregnant Black Woman

Here's what happened when Baltimore removed the Robert E Lee statue.

Some people replaced it with a different (more contemporary) statue.

According to the story, it got knocked down too (or rained on).

WTF is going on ?

Robert E. Lee Statue Replaced With Statue of Pregnant Black Woman

Artist Pablo Machioli and a few of his friends erected a papier-mache statue of a pregnant black woman holding her fist into the air, to stand in front of the Lee and Jackson statue. The statue is adorned with a rainbow sash, a baby on her back, and her raised fist is coated in gold glitter.

According to the Baltimore Sun, the statue is called “Madre Luz,” or “Mother Light” in Spanish.

Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh reportedly said she has "no position" on the "lady liberty of black power" statue being put up.

While the Robert E. Lee statue could have stayed up for centuries due to its fine craftsmanship, the "lady liberty of black power" was destroyed overnight either due to rain or being tipped over.

A pregnant black woman with her fist in the air... Hahaha this is hilarious, this circus is highly entertaining, disturbing but still entertaining.

I heard that is only half of the monument. Margaret Sanger's statue isn't finished yet!

Fascists do fascist things.

Lol, it has got to be obvious at this point that this whole thing is being orchestrated to "trigger" as many people as possible.

Psyop!

Well it is kind of fitting.
First they remove what is considered a symbol of black oppression. General lee.
Then it's replaced by a new symbol of black oppression. Unwed mother.

Karmic justice.

Second verse same as the first verse.

So removing it wasn't enough? What entitled loser's. Lol.

And a pregnant lady with a gold fist? Tacky as hell..

I knew the movie Idiocracy was true, I just didn't think it would manifest so quickly, and while there were so many of us with brains left.

a reply to: xuenchen

It is a modern artist rendering in the print of abstract and modern art, I don't like it. They could have made a beautiful piece, but chose to be divisive.

Who was it was it like somebody of value historically or was it just a general statue?

Lol, they should have finished the statue of the pregnant black lady being led into the local Planned Parenthood riding a unicorn under a rainbow.

What is the pregnant Africa-American woman with her raised fist supposed to represent?

Black power ... so they made it out of paper mache so it could melt in the rain.

Depends on somebody's definition of "value".
