Click Here to View Museum Site:Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia
As important as this site might be in illuminating past issues of racism, I don't expect to see the opening of the Museum of Shocking Political Correct Prejudice, Bias Against the White Male anytime soon.

Is there a section on black racism?

Is there an Al Sharpton wax sculpture?

How about Jesse Jackass?

Anything on Robert Byrd?

Because if not, then the racist museum is racist.

[Maceman]

I’ll bet in the whole museum there is not one mention of the Democrat Party’s active leading role in institutionalizing racism in our nation’s history.

And I’ll bet there’s no indication of the fact that no black person was ever lynched by a Republican.

“It was amassed by the founder and curator of the museum David Pilgrim, who began collecting the pieces as a teenager.”

That’s one sick puppy...

[Arm_Bears]

I just glanced through the article at the link, so maybe I missed it, but who is paying for this museum?

(I have a suspicion it’s me and other white people who dare to be successful.)

[ElkGroveDan]

Can we also get a museum for anti-Irish racism? And one for anti-Italian Racism?, and Mexicans, and American Indians, and Jews, and Catholics ...etc. etc.? Or maybe instead we can agree that some men have always treated their fellow man poorly and that our nation has transcended all that and created the greatest, freest society in human history. Then maybe we can get on with the business of becoming the best we can be at every level.

[Tex-Con-Man]

I wonder if there's any Margaret Sanger memorabilia?

[Iron Munro]

Wallow in meaningless historical flotsam and jetsam.

While the race pimps pull in their millions promoting racial hate and envy.

[Tailgunner Joe]

women are depicted largely as “mammies”

Nowadays B. Hussein Obama and his stupid gang of racist democrat thugs smear stay-at-home moms as useless ignorant mammies.

[RightGeek]

Is this a joke? They have Aunt Esther (from Sanford & Son) and also Jar Jar from Star Wars. If you want to see Black Americana, you would do better at eBay - http://www.ebay.com/sch/Black-Americana-/29457/i.html .

By what seems to be omitted, that museum appears to be anything but a teaching tool for tolerance.

Broad brushes, wide strokes, the precise thing this man proclaims he is against, he is entrenched in teaching to others.

Racism, intolerance, denigration of whole groups, ignoring strong broad evidence of the majority of people acting in ways contradictory to this man’s presentation, the evil nature of reverse racism flourishes.

I’d like for this man or any other Black figure, to give me an estimation what year Blacks will agree to become just another citizen inside one harmonious nation. 2020? 2040? 2050? 2950? Never? Just give me a year.

When I see others, I don’t look at skin color. It saddens me to see so many not think of me in the same terms.

This man has spent his whole life documenting how unfair others are, so that in the end he can prove how unfair he is. Sad really...

How about focusing on the vast majority of the populace that doesn’t focus on skin color?

[Mr. K]

I certainly hope they show all the members of the KKK and those AGAINST civil rights were all DEMOCRAPS

[Idaho_Cowboy]

I suppose this museum will feature a centerpiece on Margaret Sanger and hope to use eugenics to wipe out the black population. Her organization lives on today: Planned Parenthood.
Bet it doesn't have anything about that.

[Dallas59]

As I figured. 98%...white on black racism....meant for Americans only.

[Chode]

feh...

[Sudetenland]

Liberals LOVE to wallow in guilt, it makes them feel suitably penitent so that they can go out and act morally superior to those of us who haven't admitted that America has always been evil and the source of all that it bad in the world.

I don't feel much remorse and I still think that most of those stereotypical advertisements were hilarious. I still watch and enjoy all of those old Charlie Chan movies, the Mr. Moto films, the old Amos and Andy episodes and I enjoy them.

Most conservatives feel no remorse because they understand that those items on exhibit were a manifestation of the culture at that time and all of the people who were responsible for them are dead and gone.

They weren't intended to be hateful or mean spirited, they were meant to amuse those whose commerce they were intended to stimulate.

I refuse to feel guilt for something that my for-bearers did in a different culture at a different time.

If you are looking for insult, you will most certainly find it.

[Happy Rain]

I grew up in the segregated South and I can tell you I saw with my own eyes just how bad black folk had it.

But that was a long time ago and them days are gone forever. And only cruel and evil demagogues would want them to retain then justifiable feelings of resentment into these days where those feelings are now unjustifiable anachronisms that can do nothing but unnecessarily pick off the scabs trying to heal the old hate.

[CatherineofAragon]

I’m sick of these people presuming to TEACH me things. I don’t need lessons from them on anything.

[OldNewYork]

No need for a museum yet - just turn on the TV.

[FunkyZero]

You know, generally I fall in line with most people here when it comes to everyday issues... but on this one, I kind of agree that this display is a good thing.

A very irritating thing about todays PC trends is the desire to completely ignore race, ignore our differences and pretend things never happened all for fear of being called racist.

I'm not at all uncomfortable looking at this stuff nor should anyone else be. A lot of what happened in the past was wrong, but it happened. It's old history from a time when racism was real rather than the BS we deal with in today's era. It was an interesting time and it's good to recognize it and study it and learn form it

This isn't to say it's not Ok to hate thuggery... which is the thing most of us despise rather than the pigment. Unfortunately, it (race baiting) is used as a tool and that will never change as long as we are not all the same color. So recognize it, talk about it, but get used to it; it's here to stay.

[YankeeReb]

They should have a Woodrow Wilson exhibit in there where we see him watching Birth of a Nation in the W.H.

Maybe we can do a special mock up of the camps where FDR had American citizens of Japanese, German and Italian decent interred.
