Pretty much that.
Wasn't just in the US my kin suffered, nearly every major country fucked over black people that includes France
Please read my posts on the previous page. The OP is factually incorrect, poorly sourced, and very misleading, and it presents uneducated misunderstandings as fact.
Considering Timothy's page or nobody else made this comment on her page and all of her friends came to her defense, this is what people believed.
What the hell did the leadership do wrong?
When people talk about diversity in most cases they aren't talking about there being a lack of white voices and representation.
It took me 15 minutes of Googling the woman's name, "NMAAHC", and "hip hop" to find what I did. You'd think that, prior to making a thread about a contentious subject such as "Should a white academic be allowed to work in black cultural spaces?" one could put in a fraction of that effort needed to find sources that went beyond "some guy on Twitter".
To ensure social justice and representation while also creating a coalition of people with diverse backgrounds and point of views?
The entire trending discussion on Twitter went around and literally no one at the Smithsonian cared to comment that there was a team of curators working rather than one person. This wasn't in the Smithsonian statement or her own tweets or among any of the other ones made by her friends.
It's best that you get to work changing your OP and title to be less inflammatory.
He's not wrong, if you're gonna post something that will lead to someone getting some flak you should do your due diligence.
if i dont see the clueminati tapes there its a failure off rip.
Yeah, and i'm not talking about that either.
???
So once, again, what if it were a non-white, but non-black person?
This isn't that hard. Black people want other black people to tell black peoples stories.
You'd think it would be the first thing coming out of their mouth if it were the case. This whole thing would blow over.
White people don't need assistance to be included, but completely removing them was never the point and not a goal worth striving for.
Seems like he just wants people to be misinformed at this point.
I said THE curator not a curator. Where are the tweets saying she's just working on a team? I find it interesting we're supposed to just believe what the site says when all of her friends have basically said yes, she's in the job but no, it's not a problem.
It's not that non black POCs can't, but more that we shouldn't. The optics just look weird/bad.
if that was true, there would be no problem. She's a single employee amongst a diverse group. She has black bosses and black co-workers.
Are you really using twitter as your main source while dismissing others? Lmao
She, the museum, and all of her friends have chimed in... on twitter. what's your point.
While I can understand that sentiment; the museum leadership is predominantly black, where's the line, should they just not hire any white people?
And do you not find that insanely backwards, as a minority, we have been fighting to get away from that.
