I’m not white and think it’s sickening , quit thinking you aren’t capable of being racist because color of your skin , racism is racism . It’s all sickening .
Actually, the negative implications about people of color in that poster/document are sickening as well. For example, if being polite and on time is an "aspect of whiteness", what is implied about people who aren't white? I've even heard about people who 😊aren't white who were accused of "acting white" because they acted in accordance with the values in that poster.
I agree it’s tiresome!
It really is sickening. Imagine what we could get done if we put this petty nonsense behind us.
Im Mexican, but i defend "white" people all the time. The fact that theyre bashed and talked down on so goddamn much because they're white is disgusting.
Its like they want to bring back segregation again.
@init100 That's the whole point. The 'people' from a certain 'community' aren't capable of showing up to work on time, bathing, speaking professionally, or containing their hair. So, instead of learning how to perform in a civil society, they get to call it racism and behave like violent spoiled children.
When will we see the exhibit on black privelege and permanent black victimhood? Tired of this shit.
Exactly. I want to know why there isn't a white heritage month. There's black heritage month, native American month, pride month, etc. When do us white folks get our month!?
F b
Don’t hold your breath
That' is on point !!!!
EXACTLY what the locals said to the Sons of Liberty. It's OUR turn now.@@scdoty777
This is what you get with an affirmative action hired secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
Affirmative action society
This is what happens when you hire activists instead of intellectuals….🙄
The universities are training activists, not intellectuals.
Well, with 80% of grades given at Yale being A's and the professors of elite institutions admitting they grade students from "some" minority groups differently, essentially higher grades for lower quality work, I'm sure all these degreed activists think they are intellectuals! They're being presented as such by the media and given degrees they don't deserve by universities then praised for their "intellect". Affirmative action degrees and anyone who's fully indoctrinated to the "cause". What's really terrifying is how incompetent they all are! They're are given political appointments, research grants, funding for non-profits and their incompetence and mismanagement is completely ignored. No wonder everything is turning to 💩💩. Cronyism, at least cronies used to include competent people, if for no other reason than to do the actual work and make the rest look good. Now they just accept substandard is the new high standard. 😮💨
Like Obama
Now it’s the Smithsonian? We need a huge change of attitude in our country.
Had one back in 2016. But "they" wouldn't' allow THAT. TRUMP '24.
Trump 2024 vs Marxism Takeover.
But do you notice what the problems with us were? They’re all good things. Family, religion, hard work, scientific method… lol ok so you’re saying we are better, more intelligent people?
Have no idea of what you're getting at. Sorry.@@Catherine.Dorian.
The Smithsonian has ALWAYS been corrupt. Wake the hell up! 🤦♂️ Holy crap our country is doomed.
It's a total shame that's so many prestigious institutions
Are run by people who are totally incompetent and should not be in that position.
DEI
The logical result of 50+ years of "Affirmative Action". I've seen this coming for half a century with every application I've ever filled out.
It is an insult!
No taxpayer funds should go to these institutions!
Oh they're not incompetent they're completely deliberate 😂 the Smithsonian has a lot hidden from the public and I can't wait until they're exposed 😂 and it's coming
like Harvard for example.
Thank you Mr Murphy for your comments! You are correct, we are Americans and it’s time to stop this racial divide!
You can thank Obama for that
It’s purposeful
Lots of talk from handful politicians and lots of talk on social media echo chambers that’s it, nothing will change, cus in reality everyone’s afraid of being call "racist" etc.
He mentioned about fauci LYING to congress. WHY isn't fauci IN PRISON for PERJURY?
TWO TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM,
"RULES FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME!"
THIS IS BULLSHIT and I have NO CONFIDENCE in our government, 'cause they're SHOWING US that there's NO PUNISHMENT for their close BUDDIES that can do WHATEVER THEY WANT and get away with it.
Had ANY normal citizen done what fauci did, that citizen would've been LOCKED UP and given a DEATH SENTENCE for causing millions deaths!
Yes. He’s right.
He is trying so hard not to call this what it is, racist.
-because he is racist. That, and a terrible liar.
But he is black? He can't be racist? Black people are never racist.
Jan 20 2023 Catholic school students were told to leave the Smithsonian by security for wearing pro-life beanies. Remember that? Somebody needs to be held responsible.
Responsible is YOU, ME and many OTHERS who tolerate this. You get what you tolerate. And the West has tolerated WAY too much.
That one I will support the Smithsonian on. Dangerous cults pushing their fascist agenda is far different than woke racist (from the blacks) payback from 150 years ago bad behavior.
@@dsula2146 so very true. That peace at any price has risen so high we can no longer breathe.
Holding someone responsible would be antisemetic
RED states need to separate from this evil empire called Amerika
When he said “we aren’t partisan, but people will probably interpret that we are”
I knew he was corrupt
👍. Nailed it
I went to several of the Smithsonian last year, they are.
Unfortunately, most of D.C. is, and the people there truly despise the rest of us. Especially those who are born there.
Gaslighting
Politicians are partisan for money
WHERE ARE THE GIANT SKELETONS ? thzts the question we want answererd
Why is every video I watch a black person who in government or in a high position always racist?
Because they are.
A tiger cannot hide its stripes. Fact is, they are very insecure and racist full stop
The social media algorithms send posts to people which reinforce what they’ve already liked so people rarely see alternative views of the world
Because most blacks are racists?
Because they were hired to do just that.
I used to empathize with Black people. But that was a long time ago
I'm done as well. Still love them but I won't hear about racism anymore.
99.5 % of blacks give the rest a bad name.
@@aaronbeauchamp3312 Love? Give us a reason.
Of all the racists that I've met in person, the majority of them were black.
I empathize with many people regardless of race. Some don't deserve it.
The man indicted that he had the whiteness document taken down. Okay….was anyone disciplined for this egregious behavior? If not then you have not resolved the problem. Hold people accountable for their actions!
Only because of backlash or he would have left it.
When did he take it down?
Correct, him taking it down doesn't explain the prevailing mindset at the Smithsonian that led it's Staff to believe it would be acceptable to post that type of garbage, nor does it punish anyone for it, or establish any guidelines to ensure it is not repeated in the future. "I took it down" ., is the very least effort he could have made , and that's exactly what he did.,and somehow thinks that was some note worthy act.
@@daisyday8266 *Great question Daisy! Excellent. Was it up an hour?*
*a day, a week? A month etc.*
So the person who most likely posted that information on whiteness was a government employee who falls under the government employee labor union, and it takes an act of Congress to ditch those people out of their jobs. God, honest truth.!
It would be interesting to see how the Smithsonian would portray "blackness" as an exhibit.
Excellence and innovation in all fields....
You get held up at gun point on the way into the exhibit and come out the other side eating fried chicken.
@@shadowbanned5164 hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

That would mean our political and judiciary system is politicized and promotes racism. Two tiered system. Corruption.
Tie their funding to being non partisan. Simple solution.
that is the Trump solution and I hope he addresses this when he is pres. again.
For every agency.
the left has infiltrated every aspect of our culture, maybe one day this will be highlighted at the smitsonian
Blah blah blah
@@teg5135 Including public schools.
Ok, he had it taken down. Now, HOW did it get produced and cleared to be put up in the first place? What team of people was involved and did they get fired?
The left throw what ever at the wall and see what sticks. When they get called out for it, they spew a bunch of DEI crap. They dont get fired, then try it again. Do that over and over till it sticks.
I hope everyone has read the poster they’re taking about.
I don’t get where they thought it was an insult to white people.
Everything on that poster are keys to success in life.
Keep it up
Has anyone else notice that it does not matter that the head of any company, department, collage, university, corporation, Cabinet Secretary, government department at any level comes from Affirmative Action hire or a DEI hire there is always questionable divisive racial questions end up before a Congressional hearing???
Yes, bring in HR and DEI department heads into these hearings. They should be the ones in the hot seat for the world to see.
On a side note, People don't know that in China, any company that has 40 or more employees MUST have a CCP compliance office attached and operational within said company. DEI departments are no different these days in America, in fact they are modeled after the CCP in both structure, ideology and implementation of said ideology. it's just not codified into US federal law....yet.
Has anyone also noticed those people you mentioned NEVER have any knowledge about anything that happened in the organization below them? They are all, every one, descendants of the Sgt Schulz, "I know nothing" school of higher learning, er, knowledge?
Starts with the letter B.
Public companies are essentially forced or blackmailed by ESG rules to push "diversity" policies. Although some public companies seem to willfully do these things. No surprise when they're run by graduates of the poison ivy League.
What you are noticing is the exact point. They created an environment to make racism ok in one direction. This is DEI. Then they take those hires and put them into high positions to push antiwestern hate disguised as DEI. If you bring up the racist and sexist policies of DEI, the call you guess what? Racist! lol
Its a closed loop system.
That is really sad… I’m white and was raised to love my fellow Americans… no matter what color. My late father who served in the US NAVY and is buried at the National Veterans Cemetery would be disgusted with what has happened to our country 😔🥺😢
In this day and age we're fighting the LeftWaffe.

@Philip If you don't mind, I'm going to plagiarize the heck out of your "Leftwaffe". 🤓
I’m past that. I no longer consider myself American. I am White. I also know what my enemies look like.
My family the same This is our New America .. I wonder why that is true ???
** White ** Stop using the left's slander against us.
Google who sits on the board of directors at the Smithsonian institute. And you will understand why our history is withheld. Maybe the members of Congress should Google the same question
The Oversight Committee Should !!
@@smithlinda4271 yeah I know how dare they make public what is going on behind the scenes
There is no appreciation and only hate for the great men that built this country, the men that invented all of the things that make our lives easier and that gave us our freedoms. I immigrated here at 6 years old from a third world country and I always appreciated what I had which was not much and what the great ones did before me. I went on to serve my country and became disabled without regrets. Now that people have everything and so much freedom they have become way over entitled, have no respect and take everything for granted.
Preach brother🙌
A true American hero, thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service. ❤🤍💙
This all started with Obama and his handlers. They are quietly removing our history, no wonder they had no objections when BLM and Antifa tore down so many statues and put up their god, George Floyd. . Pelosi said she never cared about statues but called the Capitol their temple.
I find Smithsonian' just an institution that surpresses the truth.
you mean like the obidum administration
Like destroying giants bones to keep a certain religious dogma.
@@AA-ke5cu Absolutely! There's a treasure trove of newspaper articles speaking on this topic. Their "trust the science" attitudes get in the way of the truth. Their religion of Darwinism would be thrown out the window when actual evidence of giants, spoken of in the Bible, is shown to the world. The worst thing people did back in those days were to call the Smithsonian to handle the artifacts.
Right AA, except real not imaginary.
@AA-ke5cu Not religious but to inforce a scientific narrative.
It’s one thing to take A document down that you think might be problematic for your organization. It’s another thing to have people working there who thought it was OK to put that up. Look how much time they spent on that document.
Especially since it was up for a month and a half before the growing backlash pushed them into taking it down…
The chart was pretty great. Sub-Saharan type darkskinneds’ history prioritized communal fostering, multi-theism, and mixing feelings into every conversation taking rationality out of it. Happens right now matter of factly
It must be great being able to not answer or straight up lie to each and every committee you sit in front of. That’s privilege!!!!!!
What the hell are you talking about?- Lonnie answered. And it was the right answer. But I guess its damned if you do and damned if you don't for assholes who only want to rage.
actually it's politics. Left or right, black or white, WOKE or MAGA, politicians are allergic to honesty and incapable of giving an answer much less a direct one. "We are going to offer a pathway to citizenship" ok what do you plan to do? "offer a pathway to citizenship" like what? "offer a pathway to citizenship". Or my personal favorite, how all of them love to talk about job creation. Fun fact, the only way any politician can "create jobs" is through direct government employment, or obliquely through sub contracting encouraging private entities to hire. Ergo, yeah the only way is spending tax dollars.
Or, you could be Jim Jordan and not even answer the subpoena. And then a year later get super mad when your witness gives your subpoena the finger. Chad Biden, amirite?
@@MikeC2K10 hypocrisy and politics are like peanut butter and jelly. Ask a republican about Jan 6th and its a peaceful demonstration. Ask a Dem about the "summer of love" and it was a spirited "peaceful demonstration" or series there of. Ask a dem about Jan 6 and it was an attempted coup, insurrection, treason, or whatever other scary term they like this week. Ask a republican about the "summer of love" and it was the collapse of western civilization.
For me? they were just a bunch of angry people acting like complete idiots laboring under the delusions that their riots would bring about anything positive. One might mention however that the average jan 6 attendee got 3 months in lock up and the average "summer of love" participant who was arrested was never even charged. Plus people forget than in one night five cops were systematically targeted and murdered by an avowed member of ANTIFA (which I might add the FBI still refuses to acknowledge the existence of much less call a terror organization) and he got 20 years in prison. Interesting considering the "seditious mastermind" got 22 years.
@@mikewaterfield3599 well, yeah. politician privilege.
Seems to be a lot of people who we are told don’t occupy high positions or places, seem to occupy high positions and places.
And they seem to be awfully racist.
Is that irony?
Federal employees are overwhelmingly democrat. What other outcome do you expect? Perhaps we need 50 / 50 quotas for Republicans and Democrats in the Federal Government. I am a Republican survivor of the Federal Government, and that harmed my future.
And our children and grandchildren!
Anyone who works for, or receives subsidies or grants from, any state entity should be barred from that entity's elections. We should not be able to vote for our own paychecks.
I thought rightwingers didn't self-victimize. Cry me a river.
The question should be “who was fired for this document?”
Weird that we keep being told that these “marginalized people” don’t hold positions of power, when they seem to hold way too many positions of power.
As soon as we moved to a situation where race and sexuality were ignored , the grifters championed gender and privilege to move it back 50 years
3xactly!!!
For decades my wife and I donated to the Smithsonian and the Air and Space museums. That was until they went pure woke and partisan. They have not received a penny for us for many years. Based on this video they never will be getting anything from us, ever.
Doesn't matter. You will always be "donating" to the Smithsonian, whether you like it or not. Its called taxes.
Since they receive 75-80% of their funded through the federal government.
It's propaganda now, I don't even visit Air and Space anymore.
Money talks and Harvard found out this week when millions in donations were pulled they heard loud and clear.
I hope it continues.@@LaurieHaley-jy8py
Same with my family and NpR. They are a joke. No more money. They called for quite a while then finally got the message.

Eat yto do but try to resist generalizing. It is bad but don't make it worse than it is, bad for your mental health ! Most of this social media BS doesn't show up too often in our daily lives but it distorts perception so much that we imagine it is everywhere.
@@dandybufo9664 DEI is everywhere. Your reality is the one that is distorted.
First time I ever heard about a whiteness study was while I was at a hospital for an electrical burn they were treating me with steroids for. The dermatologist told me I shouldn't be having any pain, I am just experiencing white rage. The hospital apologized to me and got me another doctor and said something about a whiteness study. I never thought much about it until these recent years.
holy cow.
I’d have sued him for violating my civil rights.
I'd have felt white rage right after that, and I am not white
I would encourage you to get a lawyer . Money talks and can change institutions . An apology is not enough.
Not to be that guy, but this sounds really fake. No way on earth some doctor would openly interpret that as white rage unless he was just trying to insult you for no reason. If this really did happen, I hope you didn't just lay there and take it.
Last time I was at the Smithsonian I was amazed how many of the exhibits were purely social justice built
In the name of equity, they should do one about black hate and the enemy of humanity.
Absolutely. Black hate is so pervasive. They are beginning to act like hamas.
Sure, they can set up a camera in Chicago, in real time. Feature, black society.

This is not just in the Smithsonian, it’s all over the streets of DC.
Trump will fix this mess. He was shocked to see how dirty DC is.
DC = District of Communism.
I dropped my membership because of the unrelenting wokeness in the Smithsonian Magazine. Every, single, article.
Equity hires will do what they were hired to do, create division.
Then they need a wokeness exhibit!
It's the identical crowd - at So Many Museums have visited. World Class Exhibitions, Permanent Collections, are being removed boxed to the basement by minimum wage, summer, just hired, interns. And outside "unhoused" persons are sleeping behind the trash cans, begging Paying Visitiors in the parking lots.
Even if the nation wants to re-segregate, it still has no place in the Smithsonian. I'm proud of my family, monotheism, and protestant-work ethic; if that stereotyping is going be left, then let's track the rise and fall of BLM (where the 2020 doc came from on their web), including their founder's use of money for mansions and the group's support of Hamas...
It's time to stop dancing around the topic and just openly admit the obvious. They've proven countless times they are not capable of being entrusted to anything when given an ounce of authority and they have been nothing but dead weight on the back of society. The real question is how much longer do we have to be saddled with this burden? We should've never brought them here in the first place. What a massive oversight that was.
In a way, i agree with the principle. But, the Dutch brought the black slaves to this continent. In some cases, black tribal leaders handed over black slaves to those. The oversight is from those who perpetuate the lies that bring bias into play, and who do not offer resolution to the problems evident in the black communities. The Al Sharptons' and the ignorant and misguided white sympathizers who gain ($$$) from their propaganda and who endorse and repeat the ignorance instead of offering solutions better and more constructive than 'DEI'.
A little bit racist but you did hit on the problem. Nobody should be GIVEN power or positions of public authority without EARNING it. Never saw a single bureaucrat who was GIVEN power due solely based on their race, sex or financial/social status, who didn't mess it up. People who earned their bona fides without the single-minded use of race, sex, their social status, nepotism etc., rarely engage in the stupidity we see today.
well said sir..... name any country where africans migrated to that has thrived because of that migration.... but they claim they did everything ..... change enough history books and they might get away with it.....
Spot on 👌🏼
Ah yes, the 'Smithsonian Institute' the suppressors of history.

my family subscribed to the national geographic magazine continuously since the early 1960's, but no more. like everything else now, it has been hijacked by ideologues, and it makes me sad that we had to stop subscribing . So many great years growing up with national geographic in my home, and it has to come to an end.
The leftist march through the institutions. It’s been going on for decades. They even tried to destroy the boy scouts.
Lol fox news bought nat geo like a decade ago, its been bullshit since then.
Same here, the magazine is pathetic shadow of its former self.

You are right; it is not helpful and not appropriate.
How many blacks in America today are in fact racist. I believe what drives it is not necessarily race, but Envy. If you break down the contributions to the human race. You see that the Europeans have made the majority of contributions to a more comfortable life. I grew up do the 60s and 70s, is small towns I lived in were generally 50/50. So about half of my friends were black. We just never saw color, only people. Some of my Fondest Memories as a child what's the stories that some of the older black men used to tell. They were generally about good times and bad times, but they wouldn't change anything. They were men that believed in honor and self-respect. It wasn't until the mid-70s I started seeing hatred from the blacks toward White. And I understood why listening to their conversations. They talked about hating their hair hating their features. Just hated everything about themselves. The hatred they were expressing toward whites was not necessarily hate but Envy. And truthfully that's all we are seeing today. That's really sad because we're all unique in special in our own way
The congressman just wanted to scold. Better questions would be what happened to the person that produced this paper? Who asked for this paper? What happened to the people who approved it to be posted online?
I agree with you. Once he was told that it was taken down he should have asked, how did it get put up? What process is in place to protect the museum from becoming partisan.
Instead he just kept moaning because he had nothing else prepared.
I am sure he had a point but he was ineffective.
The Smithsonian has been anti-white for some years now. The head of the Smithsonian is in no way innocent of that.
Felt like he had only just thrown this together after his visit to the museum, but the page was on line? He could have done better.@@critical_always
Because it wouldn’t have lead to anything. The director would have covered for the perpetrators and keep saying, but I took it down.
It was a game from the begining.. the Director knew he would have to take it down.. but OK'd it being put up.. and insured nobody was fired because of it.. that was their plan and it worked.
I worked at NMAI, Smithsonian from 2000-2004. When I saw videos about this black on white racist absurdity a few years ago, I thought it was a hoax, at first. I want to know if whoever was responsible for this was reprimanded and fired from their job??? If not, why not???
Gee who would have thought ..... How about we just stop paying for everyone else.
I went to DC as a kid in the '80s. I visited the Air and Space Museum, the Museum of Natural History, the National Aquarium, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, etc, but what I vividly remember were the little piles of hypodermic needles everywhere, next to trees, in the parking lots off the mall. And everyone was scared of AIDS, especially in DC.
That's such a sad shame😢😢😢😢
Omg what is happening in this country
What about the exhibit on BLM with their riots across the country. Not to mention the founders embezzlement of close to $90 million from their own nonprofit.
I faithfully got the magazine for 20 years but sadly, I ended my subscription because they drastically changed and became so liberal. It wasn't the same at all.
Does the Smithsonian do DEI hires?
That individual is a director of the Smithsonian? There was no-one better qualified? Does anyone seriously believe that? Or was some other qualifying factor at work?
I'm sure gods chosen people had nothing to do with it.
Affirmative Action has ensured there is 'no-one better qualified' for over 50 years.
Wow the corruption just don’t even stop at our Smithsonian museum wow wow mind blowing
This is another thing that we the people are paying for and are paying to be told daily how racist we are.
The only took that document down was due to the massive negative blowback. Too bad we didn't get this person to respond on the negative views mentioned about Nixon and Reagan. I truly hate what my country has become....

We learn from history, not opinions
These people need to be jailed for crimes against humanity
In the 50's and 60's our second baseman was black. In the 70's and 80's my accountant and my golf partner were black. The thought of being racist never entered my mind. Now we have a vp who was not selected based on ability, we have a blm movement that stole 90 million. I see a blm movement that has caused billions in damage. I see next in line qualified people being passed over cause we don't have enough black women, despite not being qualified, in our company. I see different standards for black, white and Asian. I see crime stats that don't properly line up with that % of the population. Guess What racism has entered my mind.
I used to go the Smithsonian museums a lot when I lived in the area. I would email on occasions the director of the Air and Space Museum. He was happy to answer questions as I read at least one of his books on Aviation, specifically the Wright Brothers. To think that the Smithsonian has gone woke is alarming. That means almost anything is a target now, regardless of history. Perhaps the Wright Brothers will be accused of spreading Covid throughout the world because they invented the airplane.
They'll certainly be called racist since they were white men. That you can bet on.
Gliders were invented in England, a century before the aeroplane.
Yes, Gliders came first. I am aware of the work done in England. Karl Wilhelm Otto Lilienthal from Germany probably had the best one in Europe, however it lacked an effective lateral control. His only way to effect lateral control was weight shifting. It worked, but worked poorly and it ended up killing him. The Wright brothers perfected the glider in 1902. With that they simply put an engine on it and had the first fully controllable airplane.
However, a fully controllable one was not invented till 1902 by the Wright Brothers. @@Happyheretic2308
Dr. Murphy said it perfectly. Myself, I'd be throwing my shoes, chairs, microphones, everything I could get my hands on, at this racist black mans head.
Actually, that description of "whiteness" sounded quite positive! 😂 Rugged individualism, family structure, etc. Maybe that's why he took it down.
It sounded like the qualities the congressman read off were portrayed as things that were abhorrent. I took this as a list of things we should all try to achieve. This “whiteness” crap is just political left insane ideology.
They were trying to make it all seem evil and bad.
I'm more interested in the giant skeletons and what happened to them.
Everyting today is based in politics and idealogy. How do we get back in the bottle and have no bias.

We the people need to start holding these clowns accountable that’s why they continue to do it because there’s no repercussions.
By all means. Begin.
@@conormccue2871 LOL, militias are already prepared bub
Every single institution has been infested with this garbage I pray there is enough time left to reverse it or we are definitely doom as a country in short order.
No more lies, damn it!!! Nothing but impartial truth NOW!!!
"I took it down"
Well, somebody put it back up, or dude would not have a copy!
So now we must deal with a WOKE Smithsonian?????? This is absolutely abhorrent what woke has done to this country.
Cut the funding to the Smithsonian
Who was responsible? What he just said is divisive!
I’m white and I’m not racist. Also I’ve experienced so much racism from Black people that I don’t care about the struggle. We will never be equal and now that’s on black people.
No, dude.
You didn't take it down the moment it went online.
You did take it down the moment lots of people (including me) noticed and started barking at your ridiculous organization, or it would still be there.
Tell it like it is.
“It’s not the Smithsonian I remember.” You got that right… it’s not the one I remember either but it’s the one we have now.
So what is racism. Apparently it’s a one way street?!
I remember when science was science, and history was history. Facts were facts. It was a simpler time.
I’m paying for these people with my tax money
why was it allowed to be published in the first place?
NO ACCOUNTABILITY ANYWHERE,WHY!!!!....????
THANK YOU MR MURPHY, PLEASE KEEP THE TRUTH COMING .
Gerg Murphy's speaks with refreshing clarity. There are other less obvious discriminatory exhibits still on view in the Smithsonian museums.
There should be no tax dollars going to places like this. If they are worth what they cost, then people will be willing to pay for admission or voluntarily donate money or other resources. The fact that they want money taken by force from people to pay for what they provide speaks volumes about its value.
Back in the 80s, I was briefly in the Smithsonian and they had an exhibit titled “Differences between the races”, bet this dude would put this up again!
he pulled it down and 1) who posted it / authorized it to be posted and 2) were they fired
"Rugged individualism, family structure, emphasis on scientific method, history, protestant work ethic, religion: no tolerance for deviation from a single God concept"
🤷🏼♂️I'm White and I'm not offended by any of those generalizations. I think that's a list of some of our best attributes.
(Though it applies to me, I might remove the word "protestant" in order to be inclusive of my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ. Having a work ethic is not sigular to any Christian denomination.)
