Andrea Widburg:
“…The National Museum of African American History is a part of the vast Smithsonian Institution, a group of museums and research centers that taxpayers fund. That’s why it was especially shocking to learn that the museum is promoting the worst kind of racial claptrap at its website.
The museum’s website simultaneously encourages the pernicious notion that there’s systemic racism in America, accuses all whites of being racists, and argues that behaviors that are a predicate to American prosperity are inherently white – implying both that blacks lack these laudable behaviors and that blacks are betraying their race if they embrace them.
The deeply offensive, taxpayer-supported webpage is entitled “Whiteness: Since white people in America hold most of the political, institutional, and economic power, they receive advantages that nonwhite groups do not.” By translating the mixture of simplistic, condescending language and academic gobbledygook found at the page, we see the museum making the following assertions:
America’s dominant culture is normalized whiteness, which makes all other races “inferior or abnormal.” Because white people are the only “normal” people in America, everyone else is at a disadvantage. Normalized whiteness ensures that all others in America are victims of constant microaggressions that “communicate hostile, derogatory, or harmful messages.”
All of the above creates an insurmountable white privilege. No matter how marginalized whites are, they’re still white, which is not, and never can be, fair…”
