Racist Catholic statue causes anger in Ghana

Ghanaians have reacted angrily to a ‘racist’ statue commissioned by the Catholic Church in Ghana.

The statue is reportedly unveiled at the Tepa Roman Catholic Grotto in Manfo in the Brong region and it depicts a Caucasian angel overpowering a dark-skinned devil beneath its feet.

Ghanaians on social media strongly condemned the statue as racist, giving credence to the white supremacist ideology since its photo was posted on Facebook on Monday.

The Caucasian angel with white wings and straight hair is also depicted having dressed like a Roman soldier and holding a sword while the dark-skinned devil is also depicted with nappy hair as it lays down defeated.

Yaw Amoffaya Amofah Antwi who first posted the photo of the statue on Facebook called on the Tepa Roman Catholic Grotto to immediately pull it down.

“This is soo disgusting n annoying. I just saw this at tepa manfo Roman Catholic grotto. Where did we go wrong as black pll. Satan is black n the angel is white. Mental slavery [sic],” he said, demanding the “Catholic Church (Tepa manfo grotto) shd dismantle this statue immediately. It’s an insult to the black race. It’s an insult to Africans. It’s an insult to Ghanaians. I’m so sad n weak. Why always black??

There should just swallow it. Every human being is a racist. By the way, are blacks not at the lowest end of the chain? Every race seems to be better than the black race.

Black people like the poster above, the sculptor, and even the catechist deserve a default setting slap.

Infact they need something stronger for insulting the royal race with this piece of art.

Jesus is white the devil is black. That's the concept!

I guess lack of civic education is why you local Internet youngsters are becoming treasonous.

The Bible is enough to know how God feels about people who make graven images of Him, pray to dead men,etc

I guess your bible didnt remember to record all the graven images right there in the temple that God was pretty happy with.

Your bible must be selective.
