The racists want a race war. Nobody is going to win, especially them.

Why should the media try to diminish certain people’s contributions in order to promote others’. There are enough achievements to go around! But the media just loves to divide. Just like Democrats.

Those dead white men are in the basket of deplorables....

Charleston SC. also has one opening in the next couple of years. I hear that there are plenty of others in the works. I would rather have a few that I might want to go to rather than one in almost every city diluting the subject that they want to showcase. I’m OK with civil rights exhibits but if they harp on the white guilt/modern social justice manure I’ll pass.
Imagine all of the school classes that will be forced to go to those museums on field trips.

'A welcome rebuke to dead white men' We've had eight solid years of the Obama Administration existing for no other purpose...what's so "welcome" about these latecomers? :)

And after they’d made the very contributions that allowed a later generation of spoiled ingrates to do so.
Without those dead white men, the whiners would be dead of elephantiasis in some sinkhole on the Serengeti or lion lunch in Botswana.

Exactly 100 years after the founding of the National Memorial Association, which distributed these pocket-sized coin-banks as encouragements to start saving for the construction of a repository of African American culture So they finally saved enough money to build this museum? /sarc

I will keep visiting the "dead white men" museums.I agree about the Museum of the Native American, but there are, in fact, no "dead white men's" muesums on the Mall. Natural History? History and Technology? The National Gallery of Art? The East Wing? The Hirschorn (a museum to execrable art, to be sure, but ecumenical as to race, color, and creed)? The Freer Gallery? Air and Space?
The Smithsonian, in fact, already had a National Museum of African Art, which is exactly one more ethnic museum than the white folks have. The Freer houses Asian collections, and very good collections at that; no one considers it an ethnic museum, though in a way it is. The Indians now have an ethnic museum. I suppose next we'll have to have an Hispanic Museum. But there will still be no "white" museum, unless you assume that high culture, science and technology, and natural history are "white," which of course they aren't.

Ah! The point is that not all achievements are equal. And they must be made so.

The National Negro Memorial
Alas, not likely. The "National Negro" remains, and is very much alive. Importing slaves was the greatest, most devastating mistake we ever made, and we will pay for it until our country is bled to death. I promise that, I say that as a Southerner and only a second-generation American.

What a racist trash museum. Those who visit it probably should have mental evaluations.
