YOU CAN HATE WHITE WOMEN, BUT IF THEY LEAVE THERE’S NO AFRICAN ART HISTORY ANYMORE: What a disaster for African Art History programs to see this blatant hostility toward their students and prospective students (if any!). “Who are these white women who choose to specialize in African art? They have their motivations. White males don’t feel drawn to these field, apparently, and black students — male and female — also go elsewhere. What is an African Art History program to do? Imagine teaching this subject to a whole lot of white women and knowing what’s happening to Kristen Windmuller-Luna, an accomplished young lady who found a job and got lambasted for lacking the one credential she’s powerless to acquire, a different skin color. She’s made to look like a fool for choosing this field.”
Plus, from the comments: “If there are not enough black people interested in curating museums featuring historically significant black art, and white people are not accepted into the field by the black community, the logical solution is to close the museums.”
It’s like stupid and crazy people have too much power to set agendas nowadays.
