The graphic is from the Smithsonian. Your tax dollars at work Most blacks I have known in my life would support most of what is on that graphic, at least the portion that is not completely over the top and tendentious. The people behind the graphic are so obviously blinded by race hatred that they have no idea how racist and condescending towards minorities this is.
Compare and contrast what Clarence Thomas says about his grandfather, the man who raised him and his brother :
He never praised us, just as he never hugged us. Whenever my grandmother urged him to tell us that we had done a good job, he replied, “That’s their responsibility. Any job worth doing is worth doing right.”
The family farm and our unheated oil truck became my most important classrooms, the schools in which Daddy passed on the wisdom he had acquired in the course of a long life as an ill-educated, modestly successful black man in the Deep South. Despite the hardships he had faced, there was no bitterness or self-pity in his heart. As for bad luck, he didn’t believe in it.
Justice Clarence Thomas, My Grandfather’s Son
Justice Thomas has called his barely literate grandfather, the late Myers Anderson, who raised him and his brother after his father ran off, the greatest man he has ever known. He taught him the value of hard work, self reliance and a striving to achieve against the odds, essential lessons that too many Americans, no matter how well educated, fail to ever learn. I guess according to the Smithsonian Mr. Anderson was acting white. No, he was living right.
Some of those I find pretty offensive.
And I’m not sure what’s the alternative to “emphasis on scientific method.”

Oh…..
So black is the new red then?
It’s funny. All of those are true, and yet it’s presented in a way you can’t help but feel is derogatory, even though there is no reason to be. Though things like ‘bland is best’ seems to be stretching it on the objective scale.
One of yuse smart yung’uns who understand this “meme” thing ought to find that picture of Tom Hanks/Forrest Gump and caption it “And just like that, the White racists and the black racists agreed on everything!”
“bland is best”
Only for Northern European Americans. The English tribe in particular.
“bland is best”
One of the superb things about the country is the smorgasbord of flavors from across the planet. Parts of this seem written by people who have no actual experience of the nation since circa 1800.
This is straight-up Marxist propaganda, as refined by the Frankfurt School and alloyed with Deconstructionism.
This museum’s greatest achievement here is displaying racism against both whites and blacks in the same expression of thought.
It’s staggeringly bad, but impressive in the way “Darwin Awards” sometimes are.
And here I thought their greatest achievement was in sinking lower than the Smithsonian’s Enola Gay exhibit back in the 90s.
I agree with Dave G: it’s all true but derogatory at the same time. Very offensive and not at all helpful.
One hundred years ago, that poster would have described bourgeois culture.
The list for “White Culture” is really American Culture, i.e., Protestant, materialistic, selfish. It has worked quite well until our present time when the elites have nearly all the wealth and our government has gone the way of the Roman Empire by becoming a nanny state, even going so far as finance the Virus scamdemic by simply printing money. We have now reached a new low. And will surely get much worse..
What’s interesting to me is that you look down the list of occupations which require extensive, heavily rationed education and require licensing examinations (e.g. law, dentistry, &c), or have subfractions therein which require licensing examinations and commonly feature certification examinations (e.g engineering) and you look at Bureau of Labor Statistics data on these occupations, you notice that about 6% of those in those guilds are black (though the BLS does not provide a racial breakdown of active v. inactive practitioners). IOW, you don’t get into the guild without passing through a screen you cannot game.
High-end museum curators are an auxilliary of academe. Now, have a look at the population of post-secondary teachers. No screening examination and the paces to get in the door are rife with political manipulation (not evenly distributed across disciplines, of course). As we speak, about 7% of post-secondary teachers are black. So, our post-secondary institutions are hardly recruiting and retain more blacks than what’s normal for a licensed and certified profession with demanding preparation.
And look who our professoriate recruits and retains. On the arts and sciences faculty I know best, all but two of the black faculty they recruited over the years had a research programme fixated on racial questions. The two exceptions were a West Indian chap who taught computer science (who left academe 17 years ago) and a criminologist who was having trouble publishing; the administration put him in the diversity apparat and he was hired away by another institution. (Very engaging person, who likely should have been at a school where you don’t have to publish much). Perhaps if you were looking at vocational faculties, you’d see something better (recall, though, that among the vocational faculties are the teachers’ college and the school of social work). I’d be fascinated to know if that particular arts-and-sciences faculty does not receive applications from black research degree holders interested in something other than American Blackness, or if it does get them and the hiring faculty just aren’t interested. At a peculiarly stupid institution (Trinity College at Duke University), they hire parody professors like Houston Baker (KC Johnson in his writing on Duke profiled a few of these specimens). This is what our research universities have wrought.
This is straight-up Marxist propaganda, as refined by the Frankfurt School and alloyed with Deconstructionism.
About what I was going to say.
Amazing how this made up “race” of white looks an awful lot like the made-up system of capitalism, and gosh isn’t it amazing the solutions are exactly the same, too?
And yes, “white” is made up. If it’s not wrong to notice that the Japanese are not the Chinese, and that neither of them are Samoans, then it’s not wrong to notice that every group that doesn’t act like good little commie fodder gets re-labeled as “white” and respond accordingly.
If this is “White Supremacy” then what’s wrong with it? 😈
Seriously, much of this is stuff that non-whites can take part in to succeed.
Apparently, the education of the individual defining “White aesthetics” did not get as far as Rubens or the 19th Century. What a steaming load!
So the next time a liberal accuses someone of being anti- science, the best response is “Racism!”
Parts of this seem written by people who have no actual experience of the nation since circa 1800.
You need to be reading Early American Life or visiting this place (https://www.gcv.org/experiences/hosmers-inn-dinners/) for a sense of the flavors of that. Also (https://www.gcv.org/shop/books/)
