The row centres around the exhibition 'This is Colonialism' and the museum's decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display

Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.

The row centres around the exhibition 'This is Colonialism' and the museum's decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition

The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.

I would love to go to an exhibit on colonialism and its vast crimes, and I am upset by the matter on principle. I don't know why everyone is suddenly interested in running apologia for racial segregation.

It's not unavailable to you. You can pick literally any other time but that four hours, like any other well adjusted adult would do.

You would say this, then, about a whites only 4 hours at the same museum, then, right?

Are you this opposed to women's shelters not allowing men in order to provide a safe space for women?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

No, because women's shelters are not a public venue to begin with.
