Students, faculty address institutionalized racism at University Life event
Columbia Spectator ^ | November 18, 2015 | Erin Mizraki

"It's traumatizing to sit in Core classes," Aya said. "We are looking at history through the lens of these powerful, white men. I have no power or agency as a black woman, so where do I fit in?"

Aya mentioned that even in her most recent Art Humanities class, the word "primitive" was used five times to describe Congolese art—a label she did not speak up against because she was tired of already having worked that day to address so many other instances of racism and discrimination, she said.

Sorry, Aya, dear little buttercup. Congolese art didn't improve over many thousands of years. Some cultures just aren't capable of improving and ARE primitive and savage. It's just a fact of life and no amount of liberal gloss can sugarcoat that cold, hard fact.

I think they’re pushing the envelope to see how far “whitey” will go and there are enough of them that are so stupid that they’d fall for it. I’m sick of this crap!!!!


There is no end to this.

If we push back, that will only fuel their fire.

If we ask for reasonable discussions, that will empower them as a legitimate movement.

This is Community Organizing 101 or 201.

There is literally nothing that will stop this insanity.

Even if our economy turned on a dime and there were tens of thousands of new and high paying jobs, these people would reject those jobs in lieu of their revolution.

They are committed Communists that have found their opening that must be exploited.

It must really suck when you finally get that adopting the cultural habits of winners makes you a winner and adopting the cultural habits of losers makes you a loser, no matter your sex, color, creed or national origin, eh?

It’s real simple, you 50 IQ twit. Without white men, you’d be running around the prairie or savanna, take your pick, wearing a loin cloth and chucking spears at zebras or buffalo. Take your pick. And don’t leave the lights on in your room. Lights are also a white man’s invention, moron.

Re: “primitive art”

Some time ago, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Goggled at the artworks there, including a number of medieval-era European tapestries that were interwoven with gold thread. The number of masterpieces - mostly European - were too many to count.

There was a “special exhibit” of African art as well. A double handful of crude wooden masks that had been fingerpainted and a stick with a couple of feathers glued to the end of it. Looked like a poorly done preschool art project.

Primitive art, indeed.

What a dope. Primitive means the first of its kind. It doesn't have a derogatory meaning at all to someone who understands language.

And yes, I know of some who broke out if their CULTURAL jail and produced good things. Problem is, these idiots (who are not college capable) do not.

Compare European classical masterpieces from the great composers to the music native to Africa. There is no comparison, and history should be recording Man’s greatest achievements. Primitive works of art and music are a curiosity, but in no way should be mentioned in the same breath as the best produced by humans.

I hope you’re wrong Zeneta....hopefully if the good guys prevail it will lessen their numbers once “thinking” people get tired of it and start speaking out about this subversiveness.

Sounds like she’s living on the wrong continent. That could be corrected pretty easily.
