Why do they tie dysfunction and degeneracy in with AA history? You wouldn’t see this at a Jewish or latino museum. I’m sick of it and thank god Tariq is shining a light on the bullshyt for all to see!
*waits for Tariq haters to misread thread title and hostile comment with their reactions before reading

LOL

I figured so. Can't see this kind of c00nery going unchallenged when it 1st opened.
Because the gatekeepers know that actual AAs would dedicate a museum for educational purposes designed to uplift; therefore they use nonAA museum curators as noted above and the museum in Washington DC; backed by white and nonblack sponsors who don’t have any care or investment in historical black American cultural advancement just like they do all over the entertainment industry. Then push other issues with agendas on to ours. We’re supposed to take whatever they decide to handout which is the reason that Tariq is trying to establish his museum- for us by us.
Just like they want you to think that there weren’t massive slave revolts and insurrections on American soil. Like we sat back and were complacent with being oppressed. People who don’t gaf about our selective and individual stories. They don’t resource museums of how black slaves would rather die than feel enslaved- jumping overboard, drowning themselves, going on hunger strikes, starting onboard retaliations taking over the ships.
Slave Ships and the Middle Passage – Encyclopedia Virginia
The “museums” are a front to send a message of forced compliance against resistance or to remind you of your “place in society” . Just like all of the “slave and torment” porn that they disguise as movies that ingratiate to the whites. Revolutionary and Resistance Museums are few and far between or are not funded enough to remain operational.
This is the Board of Trustees who issues grants, research, nonprofit funding and financial distribution for museums.In Atlantica, The Gilda Region, April Bey’s first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles, the Bahamian-American interdisciplinary artist presents an immersive installation that taps into Black Americans’ historical embrace of space travel and extraterrestrial visioning—a cultural movement dating back to the late 1960s and later termed Afrofuturism. Through this Afrofuturist lens, Bey reflects on subjects such as queerness, feminism, and internet culture in vibrant tableaux that combine living plants, video, music, photography, and oversized mixed-media paintings and textiles. The artist positions herself as an alien from the planet Atlantica, while her mission on Earth is to observe and report as an undercover agent. This imagined world and her general interest in storytelling come from her father, who would tell her childhood tales using alien narratives to illustrate how Black people were othered in the United States and The Bahamas. In contrast to the racial oppression and exploitation rampant on Earth, Atlantica offers a beautiful diasporic world in which Black people thrive and flourish.
SMH not surprised in the least b
unless it’s an independent museum - I don’t bother with it. My library at home with a collection of books and articles is a black museum. No thanks, I’ll control my own visuals. No reason to visit a museum leaving all depressed and shyt instead of inspired and educated.
