The museum, in a late Thursday statement, announced that it removed the graphic from its website following the outcry.
The statement began, "At the National Museum of African American History and Culture, we believe that any productive conversation on race must start with honesty, respect for others, and an openness to ideas and information that provide new perspectives."
"In that context, we recently unveiled 'Talking About Race,' an online portal providing research, studies, and other academic materials from the fields of history, education, psychology, and human development," the statement explained. "Our goal in doing so was to contribute to a discussion on this vitally important subject that millions of Americans are grappling with."

I’m not grappling with it . Facts are facts, like it or not.
ReplyDeleteThe people who tell us they’re against racism certainly promote racism which says a lot
ReplyDeleteNow you know why whites get ahead and blacks don't.

ReplyDeleteBurn this dump down!

ReplyDeleteCould pay me enough money to go to the Smithsonian anymore. They have turned into a virtue signaling outfit. No longer the purveyors of history. They are now nothing more than another arm of the propaganda machine.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the truth hurts. Think about it. Why did the world evolve and become more civilized and Africa stayed in the stone age? They lacked the intelligence to advance themselves. It's inherent.
