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.
“No, it’s okay, our ‘Whites only’ event is only 4 hours a week.”
LMAO, snowflake cannot handle not being welcome at an event theyre not welcome at.
“But muh racism”
“Hurr durr i cannot go to the safespace”
You sound like a little whiny bitch. Just go sunday loser. Or any of the other days theyre open.
Sorry, I didn’t realize I was talking to a racist. I’ll be sure to remember that you’re a far-right chud in the future.
Yeah, come back when we are talking about an Event you actually want to go to. You’re just repeating far right talking points.
Theres also safe spaces for women. Womens shelters. How come you’re not ranting and raving about not being allowed in there?
Is that not discrimination?
Isn’t that also worthy of you to make an argument?
How about white only spaces that are white only 24/7?
Where’s your activism about them?
Not that I have the chance since international travel is expensive, but I would love to go to an event on the crimes of colonialism in a museum. Sorry that I find it deeply uncomfortable that I would either be excluded on the basis of my race, or included because my blood quantum was the right ratio to please the council of racial purity?
Because women’s shelters exist for the purpose of providing aid to a specific demographic. They aren’t public venues. Why is this so hard to understand?
What the fuck space in the modern day is white only? I ask at least in the US.
You’re excused. Your reading comprehension is not on par with people who understand the difference between what you’re describing, and what is actually happening.
Just to give you a small teeny tiny hint. You can go. But you cannot go to the safe space where affected people are; which btw is drumroll Not a public venue.
Are you seriously asking where in the US you cannot go when you are not white?
Yeah, like this event. What’s your point?
Oh, the museum and its exhibit on colonialism isn’t a public venue? Curious. I’m sure you can back this claim up.
Yes. Please, show me where in the US there are prohibitions on public venues for people who are not white.
No, its private property. Just because they allow everyone in, doesnt mean its now public.
They can kick you out for whatever reason they want.
I don’t think you understand what a public venue is if you think being private property disqualifies it.
Not in the US. Not since 1964.

Yeah, that’s what I thought, you were talking out of your ass.
