Wow...

So I just got the email from Francis about MLK Jr.'s memorial sculpture. I cannot believe that there is all this controversy over a Chinese man designing it. Why should it matter the color of his skin? Who cares if a black man designs it or not? I don't know if I'm getting all of the information in this one article, but I'm really fired up for some reason. It's ridiculous that people would discriminate against an artist just because he's not African-American or the type of stone he uses is not the right kind. More over it is incredibly ironic that all MLK ever wanted was equality and peace and now even when memoralizing him we find some way to skirt around his true message. It's like when people use a God to justify war. It's absolutely bizare. Again, maybe I'm not reading into the whole story, but still, wow.
