    The architect is Senegalese, named Pierre Goudiaby. North Korea was commissioned to build it.

      So you're saying North Korean ARE more brainwashed than Americans.

      The architect was a black guy. Why would North Korea be more brainwashed?

      Portraying (or promoting the portrayal of) Blacks as noble family oriented people led by strong men of good will, vs. droopy eyed nog squatting in a hovel.

      Again, the architect for the one on the left was a black guy. He designed it. Some noble blacks do exist.

      Yes, I got that. But for the NK to promote this as the typical African is delusional. I know there are decent Blacks, but a huge statue in NK is meant to communicate a generality, not some outlier, to the NK public. It's BS propaganda.

      If it was in Africa, to tell Africans HOW to be, that'd be different. But it's in NK telling NK's how Africans ARE.

      Oh, my misunderstanding. Sorry.

      If we can get past bit about statues, it is important to emphasize that the GOP did nothing to stop this.
