Took a train to a beach town

So I went to the beach a few days ago. It was cold as hell but I enjoyed it. Took a long walk at the beachfront and what do I find? This is Belgium btw...






I saw the hoop earing on the woman first and came in for a closer look. I wasn't shocked to be honest. I've come to expect things like this. I wonder how they teach the Rwandan genocide here...

Whoa, what is this supposed to be depicting?

There are black people on the left of King Leopold II of Belgium and white people on the right, and everyone is looking up at him. It's a colonial statue basically.

Oh, I see. Definitely was an obvious class and race divide, but I wasn't sure exactly who or what was going on. Man, that's depressing.
