In the wake of the George Floyd protests and the Black Lives Matter movement, racist monuments are being taken down one by one. A statue of Jefferson Davis was toppled in Richmond, Virginia, a monument for slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol, England was dragged into the River Avon, and multiple Christopher Columbus statues around the US have fallen too.
And one guy has an idea on how to bring some liveliness to these now-vacant pedestals. Jack suggested “temporarily replacing all racist monuments with air dancers” while we wait for the new ones. Jack’s tweet got almost 500K likes and standing rounds of applause from people hailing the idea as absolutely wonderful.
You see, it’s like hitting two birds with one stone. First, it adds some color to the landscape and second, it gives the “wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man” its long-awaited moment to shine. Probably the first and, most likely, the last. Let’s see some of the “drafts” down below and hit the comments section to say what you think!
