"We want to keep highlighting the unacceptable problem of institutionalised and systemic racism that everyone has a duty to face up to," the artist behind the sculpture, Marc Quinn, said in a joint statement with Reid ."This sculpture had to happen in the public realm now: this is not a new issue, but it feels like there's been a global tipping point. It's time for direct action now.", won't last long on the plinth in Bristol. Quinn and Reid say the artwork is temporary, and Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees"The sculpture that has been installed today was the work and decision of a London based artist.

Those contributions, though, were funded by Colston's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. For years, the executive was a leader of the Royal African Company, which had a British monopoly on the slave trade from West Africa. The company abducted and sold

But I thought rioters & protesters could just do whatever they want?

This is a false report.

Its gone

Glad to see the Taliban finally erecting something.

rioters

BLM=CRIMINALS AND KILLERS

Needs to be taken down...no different than putting up a KKK statue...both are racist in nature

The pigeons won't even notice the difference.

We own we new universe creating, who was nothing will be all. And Che Guevara and George Floyd are ours heroes

Let me help you since we are already supporting your tripe with our money. Should read “Vandal destory public property. Assume they should rule by force”. There much more accurate

Yep. BLM is too divisive to survive.

Now its our turn to tear statues down! Guess which ones going to be first?

No statues should go in it’s spot, since laws and procedures wasn’t followed, no rewards should take place. If children on both sides twist statues meaning, then no statues by procedures.

BLM is a Marxist organization and the new statue is Racist and divisive...

Pull it down, throw it in the Bristol harbor, restore the original statue, and prosecute the thugs who tore it down. There, that was easy.

My understanding of how this works is that if anyone is offended by this statue, they can go knock it down without any consequences.

haven’t we learned anything? statues are offensive to different people, so let’s just have NO statues and call it a day.

That’s amazing. That’s the kind of thing that deserves a monument. That’s the kind of thing I want to look at, decades from now when I’m reflecting back on 2020.

Are we sure that person has never offended anyone?

Stop with all the statues.

A SOCIOPATH will NEVER do what you want or expect them to do! That is PSYCHOLOGY 101! Orange 🍊dude is a CON..as Bloomberg said! Ask niece Mary Trump PH D. STOP asking/expecting/wishing 🍊 dude will be..better/decent,etc.! It is NOT HAPPENING! It is...what it is!

BLM’s ‘Marxist, Anarchist Movement…Is a Piece of the Base of the Democratic Party Now’

It's a piece of art! Crazy, you'd rather have slave trader than a woman peacefully protesting for equality.

So will the people who helped put it up get the same treatment as those who helped put up the banner over the man city ground

Any mob has a right to topple it, just like the mob did to the previous statute.

double_bogus

City’s approval. Did they ask the people’s approval before putting up a slave trader. Disgusted by society

Surely there must be a group offended !

This statue needs to be bubble rapped and taken to a basements dark safe space.

That which is erected by a mob can be removed by one just as easily.

Racist BLM killed a black 8 year old girl

I wonder if it will actually get approved. It looks amazing tbh

So 🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿 you mtv and Target. WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE GET USED TO IT!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 BlackLivesMatter BlackLivesMatter BlackLivesMatter BlackLivesMatter BlackLivesMatter BlackLivesMatter BlackLivesMatter BreonnaTaylor AhmaudArbery GeorgeFloyd

So replacing one racist with a different type of racist. At least it’s consistent.

JoeBiden acct was hacked too.

It’s happening, racism is ending before our very eyes!
