The Only BLACK Kalmyks

 :unsure: :unsure:

This one was just placed at Newark City Hall.



Project started: 2014 Wrapped up: 2024

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

im a little .... i dunno...about these statues  :unsure: :unsure:

it's one thing to completely disregard his past (robbing pregnant women at gunpoint, etc) for the sake of prosecuting and punishing the cop who killed him - which is the RIGHT thing to do because his past had nothing to do with what the MURDER i clearly saw take place in that video....

but to erect statues as if he were some hero or something ...someone to look up to and aspire to be.... :unsure:

i kinda like this one though because it has a clear, specific message against police brutality
using GODpoose lyrics  :blush: and simply uses george floyd's face/name to deliver the message. that's different IMO.

and i guess one could argue that ALL of these statues aren't honoring George's life legacy directly or making him a saint, but instead sending a message out that BLM.

This performative mess

Tell the mayors/governors to start dishing out reparations for black people by region. And abolish their structures of
systematic racism. Now that's some damn change

What does him being a criminal have to do with anything?
