Gorilla Statue Removed After Complaints It Was ‘Racially Insensitive’

A statue of a gorilla, and prime attraction for kids at the Community Park playground in Corsicana was removed by the city. A spokesperson for the city said some community members found the gorilla offensive – racially insensitive — in some form, and requested its removal from the park.

According to the update they're going to put it back, but that they knee-jerked and took it away in the first place...

If I were a black person I would be offended that some whitey mayor saw enough similarity between me and a gorilla that he could understand how the statue was "racially insensitive".

Put up a statue of Mike Tyson, no one will know the difference.

The gorilla is probably smarter and has more culture.
