The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) released a report from a task force that claims "structural racism" impacts the agency.
"Structural racism—the overarching system of racial bias across institutions and society—unequivocally impacts how NARA staff interact with records, colleagues, and customers," the report declares.
"Discoverability refers to the degree to which records are findable in the Catalog. NARA's records related to BIPOCs [black, indigenous and people of color] are more difficult to find because they are under-described, while our website and Catalog over-describe the records and achievements of White men by using more extensive, superlative, and subjective language," the report says. "NARA needs to rectify generations of racist recordkeeping practices that have marginalized BIPOCs and made them footnotes in the historical record."
The report asserts that "a Rotunda in our flagship building that lauds wealthy White men in the nation’s founding while marginalizing BIPOC, women, and other communities."
A "Draft Proposal to Reframe and Revitalize the Visitor Experience in the Rotunda" suggests potentially adding new sculptures highlighting women, Native Americans and the enslaved. It also suggests the possibility of featuring "dance or performance art."
"The groups currently missing from the story told by the Faulkner murals—women, American Indians, and enslaved people—are potential subjects for new memorials," the proposal says. "The National Archives should consider options to address the problems presented by the Faulkner murals. While these massive paintings are historically significant and loved by many, others find them oppressive and exclusionary. 'The murals,' said one respondent to the Museum Subgroup’s survey, are 'an homage to White America.' One possibility is to commission additional murals for the walls in the Rotunda Gallery. Another is to stage dance or performance art in the space that invites dialogue about the ways that the United States has mythologized the founding era."
Well, if the founding fathers were Asian those murals would be painted differently. If they were black they would be painted differently. They are historical paintings. Nothing more. Nothing less.
The only thing these pinheads are doing is breeding resentment in society. That is all. Instead of spending their time helping to fix the problems that prevent minority youth from living in safe environments and reaching their potential, they’d rather do stupid things like writing this inane report.
National Archives Report Says ‘Structural Racism’ Impacts The Agency

So they will be taking steps to destroy the offending materiel and replace it with material to their liking, even if they have to write it themselves.
Shall we add the vital importance of WHO writes this 'task force' report? Was there a pre-set objective to make such a 'finding'? Who are the members of this task force and what is their backgrounds?
Tell me the above and then I will attribute to the report the value it deserves!
If you are not color-blind, you are to some degree a racist. How is this difficult to understand?
You mean like minority hiring quotas? Have you clowns ever stopped to ask why there is a racial bias? At what point do the facts of behavior warrant a bias?
They don’t realize that there’s already racism with them pushing CRT and BLM propaganda.
If the founders at that time were not White, the U.S. would not have been founded in the first place, since they were a product of the Western European Enlightenment.
Concepts such as individualism and personal property were foreign to the average non-European at that time in history.
That over-achievement?
Countries need to believe in themselves and respect themselves if they are going to get through hard times. I suggest trying at least some of the time to fit oneself into the mainstream history of the nation rather than simply reject it all because it didn’t live up to 21st century values.
All whites should resign immediately, all SOP’s, and Agency regulations and procedures should be scrapped and the new “non-white”employees build it from scratch.
Good luck to you.
On July 28, 2009, President Obama nominated Dan Ferriero to be 10th Archivist of the United States. So he had almost 12 years to clean up the “mess”. So why are they just now discovering this “systemic racism”?
Structural Racism like “Affirmative Action” that victimizes members of all races?
Every single day, we watch our country slip away.
Every. Single. Day.
It is foolish to expect any other conclusion from an “official report” by any federal organization under the Biden regime.
