Just a few days after President Donald Trump signed professional orders to enforce laws against racial prejudice, a far-left net job from the Smithsonian has vanished. Prior to now, the task had been accused of making racist claims about light people.
Trump signed professional orders halting improper discrimination, restoring merit-based chance, and ending extreme and inefficient state DEI programs and references shortly after taking office in January. The orders forbid prejudice in the name of “diversity” across the state and directed the attorney general to carry out anti-discrimination laws correctly.
Despite these instructions, the Smithsonian’s main website on” Talking About Competition” was taken down somewhere between late February and first March, according to web files. The site then switches to “teaching and learning” sources.
A gallery representative told The Federalist that the National Museum of African American History and Culture at the Smithsonian is working on adding content from the” Talking About Competition” website to our flagship website. ” This change is part of our continuing efforts to enhance the online experience for the more than 6 million online readers we serve around the world each time.”
The Federalist frequently inquired as to whether the museum would print these materials on another website, but the museum’s representatives did not respond in period for publication. The Federalist even inquired to the White House about whether these pages had been removed and whether the substances were in violation of Trump’s executive order.
According to Davis Ingle, a White House spokeswoman,” President Trump’s professional orders directed the removal of articles that split and ditches Americans against one another based on race.” The President will continue to work to ensure that the American unifies and instills satisfaction in all Americans regarding our outstanding history.
Talking About Competition
The project promoted prejudiced stereotypes about white people in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. The museum received criticism for its vivid in 2020, which claims” common characteristics of most U.S. White people” include “master and control nature,” “aggressiveness and extroversion,” “heavy value on ownership of goods, space, property,” and” steak and potatoes,’ bland is greatest,” according to Jordan Boyd of The Federalist at the time.  ,
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley demanded solutions to this job, and Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch acknowledged that the” certain table… did not contribute to effective, informed conversations,” as The Federalist’s Tristan Justice reported. The document in question had already been taken down at the time.
But even after this exchange, the Smithsonian continued to maintain its “Talking About Competition” project until recently.
The museum’s” Whiteness” page, which targeted purported “white-dominant culture,”” white privilege,” and “microaggressions,” remained active until at least March 4.
Whiteness is also at the center of understanding race in America. According to an archive, non-white people are perceived as inferior or abnormal due to whiteness and the normalization of white racial identity throughout American history.
The Smithsonian argued that” [i]f you identify as white, acknowledging your white racial identity and its privileges is a crucial step to help end racism.” The statement,” white fragility,” was even made by the queen of DEI herself, Robin DiAngelo, saying that” white people are rarely challenged and have less of a tolerance to race-based stress because they live in a social environment that insulates them from race-based stress.
The first step for white people working in anti-racist and social justice should be to acknowledge their vulnerability and develop their emotional resilience, according to the webpage‘s archive. Try participating in affinity groups or caucuses in addition to your own internal reflection, processing, and daily commitment to anti-racist work.
The project also urged “people ] who are committed to equity” to learn about their “group identities,” claiming that it could “make our society more equitable and can be a catalyst for change” and that it could foster “my child’s ability to create a healthy racial identity” in youth. Additionally, it advised teachers to “develop their racial awareness” and” to cultivate their racial consciousness”.
The Smithsonian’s project was a textbook example of critical race theory, dividing society between oppressors and oppressed, and exposing youth’s perceptions of themselves through group identities rather than individual perspectives. Marxist activists hope to cause conflict and radical change for their own ends by creating unrest and making the most fundamental of accusations that their country is evil.
These websites were shut down after Trump’s executive orders against racial discrimination, though the exact cause is unknown. Someone might have known that the new administration would not be willing to accept this racist, anti-American ideology.
