Unsung Founders Memorial

This is one of the stupidest articles I have ever read. Really.
I'm on the staff of UNC's satirical magazine, BoUNCe, and we once considered publishing an article that was entitled: "Unsung Founders Memorial supports the weight of history, my ham sandwich." I know people who have jokingly referred to the memorial for a very long time as the "slave table." We didn't publish the article for whatever reason, but it was a brilliant idea for an article because it addresses so many of the things over which this poet is boo-hooing.
1. "There was a lovely white family eating lunch." So? I've eaten lunch at that table before. I'm white. Lots of white people eat there. Sure it's laughably ironic--that was the point of the BoUNCe article--but is this a bad thing? Should only black people be allowed to sit at the table? Sounds an awful lot like the '50s to me, when whites and blacks had separate designated eating spots. This is honestly one of the dumbest things I have ever heard a person say.
2. Silent Sam is much taller. This is true. Silent Sam has also been here much longer and is something of a University landmark. It would have been foolish for the memorial design team to consider building a 20-foot-tall table in order to make it on a level with Sam. As for the location, seems to me like this is something that the committee should have thought of before they plunked the table down where they did.
3. There weren't that many black artists considered for the job, and the person that was eventually selected specialized in "miniatures.". . . . .Well, it seems to me that the table has many miniature figures around it, so it seems like they made a pretty good choice to me! Really guys. It shouldn't matter whether a white, black or green artist was chosen to create this table, so long as the final product conveys the message that you want it to. And I think it does. I really do--it's a pretty powerful structure if you stop to look at it closely.
In conclusion: C.J. Suitt needs to get over himself. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy a ham sandwich at the table.
