One of the most disturbing things about our already unsettling times is the way that the left is forcing ugly binary choices on Americans. The most obvious example is how the phrase “All lives matter” is being twisted to mean “I hate blacks” or “I’m a white supremacist.” The latest manifestation of the charge that refusing to recognize black supremacy is, without more, proof that someone is a white supremacist comes from San Francisco. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (“SFMOMA”) has forced out its senior curator for the crime of refusing to ban white artists entirely from the museum’s collection.
If you happen to find modern art attractive, SFMOMA is an excellent place to see it. The building is itself a decent example of contemporary architecture, and the collection offers solid examples of late 20th-century and early 21st-century art. And of course, because it’s a San Francisco institution, SFMOMA has been all over the Black Lives Matter movement.
At the very top of its home page, right under the “we’re closed because of the Wuhan virus” announcement, the museum promises that it has “Ongoing Commitments to Diversity and Inclusion.” On the page dedicated to that promise, the museum assures everyone that it’s been talking a lot about “diversity, equity, and inclusion” because the country is steeped in “fundamental systemic racism built into museums and this country’s origins.” One of the many things SFMOMA promises to do is require “anti-racist and implicit bias training for all staff” (along with contemplating “gender-neutral restrooms”). The museum also promises a full racial analysis of all people working for it.
It turns out, though, that “diversity, equity, and inclusion” do not extend to white people. Instead, whites are to be the victims of systemic discrimination, whether as artists or employees.

Rationality means individualism has primacy over collectivism.
Each and every individual artist must be considered regardless of race.
Every time the twitter tots hear All lives matter that slug of meat in their skull goes into boil mode.
“No one is as asking you to carry their water.”
I guess you’re not familiar regarding what large companies are putting their people through regarding this BLM crap.
Me too...For about 3 nano-seconds...
Statues are being replaced already with black power Black Lies Matter ones...
Are you an employee of one of those large BLM-favoring companies?
Hooray for whitey!!! We are the absolute cream of the crop.
Today’s modern art is all shock art. Desecrated flags are a major component.
They do love their shock art.
Odd that they don’t “shock” people will sculpted images of Mohammad made out of bacon, or editions of the Koran covered in dog fur or pigskin. And they don’t use Blackface images in art to somehow “make a statement”.
They mostly just “shock” people by being against Whites, Christians and Republicans. It’s kind of cute that they still expect that to shock us.
The ones always nattering about “systemic racism” are racists so systemic they don’t even notice it. Most of them are white. It’s cult-like stupidity, probably incurable, and it is exceedingly unsafe to cross cults.
It is intentionally vague so that non-Marxists (and/or Marxists for that matter) cannot propose a corrective solution to our existing system.
The only real solution for something as amorphous as "systemic racism" is the destruction of the "racist" capitalist/free-market/republican/American system and its replacement with good old Marxism/Maoism/communism.
Black people are being used. Instead of using their freedom to join the chase for the American Dream, they are being invited back to a new plantation wherein we are ALL now slaves (except for the dictator, of course).
It’s funny how civil rights for minorities turned into genocide against whites in less than two generations.
While tempting, I refuse to recant my support for civil rights. Evil may dwell in the hearts of many men, but that doesn’t make evil right in return. Universal rights, and human rights, are part of the American’s Creed. And also responsibility. Let us hold fast to OUR revolution, and to Hell with the devils who are destroying our nation!
“Universal rights, and human rights, are part of the American’s Creed. And also responsibility. Let us hold fast to OUR revolution”
Those things don’t exist outside of the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand and places where those people insist. The goal is to eliminate white people. It will soon become a matter of survival. We are going to need our own spaces if things like universal and human rights are going to matter. It is ironic. This isn’t working.
“Are you an employee of one of those large BLM-favoring companies?”
Wife is, and they really, really, want to appear ‘woke’. Scared to death of unfavorable headlines or (bogus) boycotts.
Gotcha. I understand.
Not only are they, like Hitler, favoring art reflecting their "values" over what they deem decadent, they're trying to determine "racial purity" just like the Nazis strove to determine the "Jewishness" of all they subjugated.
"Vee haff vays uff making you paint."
