    Among the commonly available stones, only marble has a slight translucency i.e. subsurface scattering that is comparable to that of human skin. It is this translucency that gives a marble sculpture a visual depth beyond its surface and this evokes a certain realism when used for figurative works. Marble also has the advantage that, when first quarried, it is relatively soft and easy to work, refine, and polish.[1] As the finished marble ages, it becomes harder and more durable. Preference to the cheaper and less translucent limestone is based largely on the fineness of marble's grain, which enables the sculptor to render minute detail in a manner not always possible with limestone; it is also more weather-resistant.

    She could've looked that up.

    It's almost as if the ultra libs are in some competition about whom can link the most ridiculous things to racism and oppression in the most ridiculous manner.

    ...as if they have to out-do each other in their pc-ness. Like they get a prize or something. They want all of us in the re-education camp?

    Not only that but it's my understanding that most of those statues were actually painted originally.

    Serious question what brings supposedly intelligent highly educated people to just make absurd statements and at times just lie?

    Throughout history theres been some pretty bad black and brown people, the egyptians had more slaves than rome and Hannibal wasnt a box of chocalates and islam has has a blood running murderous existence. T
