In academia, black emphasis leads to heretofore unexplored critical subjects for theses like “Africa as the Cradle of World Scientific Advancement.” And other such drivel. It is actually funny to see what indicators these academic pretenders have the audacity to use as evidence. An example would be “Yes, African Urban Cities were centers of the Arts, Sciences and Culture.” Deep, deep down in the references, if there are any, is a cite to a stick drawing somewhere in mother Africa etched in a dried wadi-bed depicting a goat.
I marvelled at some of the Master's work. There were some Medieval tapestries with gold thread inlaid that were pretty impressive, if only for their size. The Sculptures were absolutely amazing, with gold leaf inlaid. I was astonished at something so delicate survived so well.
Additionally, and with much fanfare, there was a "African Art Exhibit" on loan. Commercials were running on TV for it, there were posters on the subway, and so on. Mrs WBill and I thought that, while we were there, we'd check and see what all the hubbub was about.
The African "Art" consisted of a handful of wooden masks that looked like they'd been fingerpainted, and a stick with a feather attached to it. Looked like an unfinished preschool art project.
Sez me, it's not a racism thing. It's a cultural thing. Some cultures just haven't produced, or aren't yet capable of producing, the same finished product. It's disingenuous to pretend that they can.
