The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display
Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.
The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition
The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.
Just letting you know what you sound like.
Take a moment to think about what brought you to defend discrimination based on skin color. Then consider if that’s a positive for humanity.
Here I thought we settled this bullshit already but I guess some have some catching up to do. We really were too lax on the South when we beat their ass.
My dude, you are getting baited by the people you’re decrying. This policy is affirmative action to help get minority groups who otherwise might not go in to see the exhibit. It’s attempting to address structural issues by carving out a safe space for the victims of colonialism. It IS a form of discrimination, as is affirmative action in general, but the purpose and intent is positive. It is neither segregation nor racism.
If you don’t believe me, I’d urge you to consider who ran this news piece, and what their motivations might have been. When you call this racism, you yourself are siding with racists.
