It looks like a Isaac Hayes 'Hot Buttered Soul' memorial to me.

Before becoming the voice of Chef on South Park, Isaac Hayes was known for his outfits of gold chains - once a symbol of slavery, but Isaac wore them for their symbols of strength and power.

The statue may not actually represent Isaac, but it does appear to be influenced by the late 60's/70's Black Movement, of which Isaac was one of many symbolic leaders.
