'Racially insensitive' gorilla statue removed from Texas park

A beloved gorilla statue in a Texas park has been removed by officials after some complained that it was 'racially insensitive'.

The caged statue had been a center piece at the park in Corsicana, south of Dallas, for two decades before it was taken away on Monday.

Corsicana Mayor Don Denbow had the 500-pound gorilla removed after receiving about 45 complaints.

    For it to be offensive, those offended must believe the similarity as well. The case has been rested.

    Why don't we just remove everything from our parks for I am sure someone somewhere is even offended by the shape of a water fountain!

    Left wing snowflakes are always responsible for these incidents but what is actually offensive a gorilla or liberal snowflakes deciding it reminds them of black people ?
