Did all of this fanart really start in the past week?
QuoteQuoteNot to be "that guy", and I already know which trajectory that thread is gonna take anyway, but "enjoyment" is incredibly relative. Don't you think murder, torture, rape, etc is enjoyable to some people? It's a weird line to draw, because what's "enjoyable" is gonna vary from person to person.There are humane ways of consuming animal-based products. Let's not act like drinking a glass of milk has to be equal to murder torture and rape please. I have family that owns goats and they treat those goats extremely well.Sure, but for large industries? Milk is almost equivalent to rape in that scenario, because of how they end up producing that much milk.

This has awakened something in me.
The word yikes is so fucking stupid to describe something.

This thread is finally tolerable
I have also been playing GOW and love Freya's design, only thing really exposed on her are her feet, but it makes sense.
Exactly! Couldn't agree more, and as the only woman in the game, Freya is a very strong character who wasn't sexualised whatsoever. Like you said, they only had her feet exposed.
Bowsette is a trans iconAlso tan skin + red hair and eyes is best Bowsette
Make goth trans Bowser canon you cowards
https://www.resetera.com/threads/picture-theft.70270/This OP is lame as fuck. Did he actually do anything besides being in the right place at the right time?
If she is in fact the most qualified person for this position then that is a pretty scathing indictment of the racist educational system in this country rather than a tacit endorsement for her having that position.
She should resign from being in charge of a division of the museum she help organize and create!
Let's stay on topic, y'all. And no need to resort to extreme comparisons to make an argument.
Why are people so comfortable telling black folk how they should feel? So many ITT are doing exactly that. The forum would explode if people were co-singing that women should be ok with a white dude mansplaining women's reproductive health. Because, that's only something a woman can truly and wholly understand.How can people not understand that this is the same?
Y'all are real cute with defelecting to gynocologists instead of acknowledgement of how fucked up it is telling black folks how they should feel.I see you. And it's useless trying to discuss it here.
It really doesn't matter what the exhibit is or how qualified the curator is, anyone not Black managing or curating US Black history exhibits are going to look bad in regards to perception and Black hiring opportunities. If this was a Hip Hop exhibition at a non Black history museum, it would be a non issue IMO, especially after a quick Google search on the curator's history at the Smithsonian and in regards to Hip Hop artists.
Ya'll are way out of bounds with some of these critiques. She's been on this from the ground floor with the blessing of people in the industry whose works are actually in the exhibits (why the hell else would Chuck D cape for her? Makes sense now) and her historian colleagues, and she's been chronicling African American history, from multiple angles, since half this forum was in grade school.
Yep. This needs to be added to the OP. This was a setup.
A white woman is the most qualified person to curate the hip hop section?Is that what you're going with?
This chick has been studying African American culture for her whole life, and probably knows more about black history from an academic perspective
It really is. Conveniently non-Americans usually show up to offer their limited ignorant perspectives on black American’s experiences
You're 2/2 for trivialising what is obvious not an non issue to black people.You ain't slick.
There's nothing arbitrary about it.Hip hop is black art form. It's a black art form that originated in large part in response to oppression by whites.Having a white woman fill this vacancy is ridiculous on multiple levels.I don't care how knowledgeable she is about hip hop. If she's an ally, she should recognise what she is doing is wrong, and an outrage.
what she is doing is wrong, and an outrage.
I feel like the best form of respect is to allow people from a culture to preserve their own culture but I get why she would take it. When you need a job, you need a job.
I PM'd the OP to request he adds this insightful post to his. It may help some decide where they stand on this particular matter. Sadly they declined.
Keep in mind that I don't think Timothy Burnside should step down from this position. And, again, I don't think most people in this thread are downplaying her qualifications, so I understand the frustration that the conversation keeps getting dragged back to that.I think the greater observation here is that there isn't a lot of representation of black academia in these spaces. Specifically, young academia (well, I'm thinking ~40 here).This is likely going to be a fantastic exhibit, but it also could have served as a fantastic moment for the museum to highlight a new generation of black intelligentsia that, clearly, isn't very well represented here (although they do exist). And I think that's what people wanted to see out of NAAHC in particular. But it doesn't seem that the leadership of the museum put that much thought into it.And really, none of that makes any of this Timothy Burnside's fault.
Can we stop using the appeal to authority argument? People can still have issues with this even if people in the industry cosign her, it doesn't invalidate everyone's concern here. Also I think you're severally misinterpreting this thread if your only conclusion to people who have issues with this is that she shouldn't be able to elevate her career. Many people have acknowledge her qualifications but are talking about this in a larger context about why a black person wasn't chosen for this position.
