Sadly, I don't think it will be very visible there, but I do commend your efforts. Originally, I had requested the mods to add the post to the OP, but was rejected and told to ask the OP to do so first. I did, was rejected by the OP as well, and requested the mods to do it once more. That's been a while ago now, and I am not sure they agree the post belongs there. I suggest you report the post in question with the request for it to be added to the OP if you feel strongly about it as I do.
ut it as I do.Click to expand...I'm not opposed to adding Sho_Nuff's information to the OP. I'm just not sure what that is supposed to clarify? Help me out here, because Sho_Nuff's post seems to largely address Burnside's qualifications, which don't seem to be what the dispute is centered around.
Why does the Peach/Bowser thread get a pass for objectifying women? Imagine a Soul Calibur VI with those comments.
The main problem is that is obvious that most people bitching about “why we can’t have a black curator for the hip hop exhibition” have no idea of actual black academics in that area.
What is the resolution that y'all want from this?
Less anti-white racism so whites can finally achieve positions of authority in this country
I get this forum doesn't have a lot of black folks. So a lot of you probably can't process get why this is a problem. But I'll try to explain it. - Visibility
Mods, delete this entire last page of replies, thx

How visible are museum curators anyway. Would have anyone on that forum ever heard of this if it wasn't for the controversy? This woman has done similar exhibitions.before but everyone admits they had to Google to know who she is.
Not to discount her experience or anything, but looking at her site she has a BA and an MA. That doesn't seem like some crazy academic requirements, especially today. I have an MA and if those salaries are correct she'd be making more than me....
The NSFW thread makes people post links instead of images. Pretty funny there's no rule for a supposedly more safe for work thread. Also, that's a penis in the left hand corner.

(Image removed from quote.)might have to stop, they're getting too spicy
I wonder, maybe she's doing something more important.
I could walk into a barber shop right now and find plenty of black folks with extensive knowledge of hip-hop history and culture. I am not taking away from this woman's achievements, but I find it hard to believe that her position has such a high barrier of entry that no black people were as qualified as her.
Amusing act, by the way.
Once again, bravo on this whole act you have going on here, it is real convincing.
If you're on page 13 and still think this is about Burnside's qualifications, you haven't been paying attention.
If you're on page 14 and still think this is about Burnside's qualifications, you haven't been paying attention.
Peach has got it.(Image removed from quote.)
NeoGaf looking pretty sweet right now. In the way that the only prison gangs you can join are the skinheads or the pedos.
The problem is, White people get access to EVERYTHING and there are barely hurdles. You can lead a hiphop exhibition, can lead an NAACP chapter, can direct and helm Slave movies, you can be the last samurai lol etc.... You have all the access in the world of gatekeeping the experiences of people who look nothing like you. A Black person can lead a Mozart Museum but will have to endure a million times more hurdles in order to do so. A Black director approaching a studio about his "Irish Potato Famine" project will be looked at strangely or laughed out the room by execs. We are understandably protective of our cultures and subcultures, since our entire four centuries old existence on this continent has been one of plunder.The only reason I'm arguably giving this a pass is because she's been working on this from the ground up. If for some reason "there were no Black applicants", that is just an indictment of systemic racism in America, which White lady curator gets to benefit from.
Tyler, I know you read this thread:(Image removed from quote.)This is what you want your forum to be known as?"I don't know what I'm talking about and I stick to other forums to talk about that"It's fucking embarrassing. Gaf used to be a place where I could go to get news.
