Coretta Scott King’s cousin Seneca Scott has joined the ranks of those who are outraged by a $10 million bronze sculpture unveiled in Boston to honor Martin Luther King Jr.

The large design unveiled Jan. 13 is called “The Embrace,” featuring two sets of arms holding each other. It was meant to depict a classic photograph of Coretta and her husband Martin Luther King Jr. hugging after his Nobel Peace Prize win in 1964, but Coretta’s cousin sees what many members of the general public have also noticed. It “looks like a penis,”  Scott said, according to the New York Post.

“The mainstream media … was reporting on it like it was all beautiful, ’cause they were told they had to say that,” Seneca Scott told the New York Post on Sunday.

“But then when it came out, a little boy pointed out — ‘That’s a penis!’ and everyone was like, ‘Yo, that’s a big old dong, man,’” he said.

“If you had showed that statute to anyone in the ’hood, they’d have been like, ‘No, absolutely not,” he said.

Scott voiced his outrage in an article posted on Compact Mag. (RELATED: Donald Trump And Martin Luther King Jr.’s Son Just Met. What They Talked About.)

“The new Boston sculpture ‘honoring’ Dr. Martin Luther King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, looks more like a pair of hands hugging a beefy penis than a special moment shared by the iconic couple,” Seneca wrote.

Seneca shunned the “woke algorithm” and addressed the defamatory nature of the sculpture.

“Ten million dollars were wasted to create a masturbatory metal homage to my legendary family members — one of the all-time greatest American families,” he said.

He scorned the woke culture for its misrepresentation.

“How could anyone fail to see that this was a major dick move (pun intended) that brings very few, if any, tangible benefits to struggling black families?” he wrote to Compact Mag.

He continued his scathing review of the art and addressed the seemingly intentional portrayal of a penis.

“So now Boston has a big bronze penis statue that’s supposed to represent black love at its purest and most devotional. This is no accident,” he said.

“The woke algorithm is racist and classist. Therefore, its programming will always produce things that harm black and poor people.”

Seneca continued the conversation with The New York Post, saying “The woke algorithm is just broke, I don’t know what else to tell you.

Social media users have been blasting the sculpture, with some calling it a “turd penis,” and others declaring this to be a “disgrace” to Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.

British rapper and podcaster Zuby shared his thoughts of the sculpture on Twitter by writing, “This is awful.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
