Smithsonian Museum Director Interested in Acquiring Trayvon Martin's Hoodie

Lonnie Bunch, the director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, told the Post he'd "love" to acquire the sweatshirt for a collection, an idea endorsed by the Rev. Al Sharpton:
.
.

"“It became the symbolic way to talk the Trayvon Martin case. It’s rare that you get one artifact that really becomes the symbol,” Bunch said. “Because it’s such a symbol, it would allow you to talk about race in the age of Obama.”

Curators, he mused, could “ask the bigger questions” prompted by the case. “Are we in a post-racial age?” Bunch asked, dreaming about how the hoodie might help shape perceptions. Then he answered the question: “This trial says, ‘No.’”

I would like to see stroller in which a white baby was shot in the face by black thugs. You want to talk about race relations in the age of Obama, let us talk about race in the age of Obama. And while we are at it how about the photos of Zimmerman’s bloddied head in the museum of modern art.

Thanks for including the asshole’s picture. The guy should be fired for being absolutely clueless.

My suspicions were confirmed.

Next they will want to replace the Lincoln Memorial with a statue of Saint Trayvon, wearing his hoodie, holding skittles and tea and making lean.

” the Smithsonian in utter political correctness patronization”

There is no leftist idea too outlandish for the Smithsonian to embrace fervently. As a monogamous heterosexual conservative Christian it makes me unspeakably glad that I departed last year after almost three decades.

Seriously, it is PC-corrupt all the way to the top. Most folks think of it as a place holding the Ruby Slippers, but it is much more potent as a home for anti-Christian bigotry anti-American agitprop, and downright misanthropy than you can imagine. Remember, the whole theology of “global warming” emerged from the fertile brain of a Smithsonian senior “scholar, and Algore thanks him by name in one of his screeds. The web site for the National Museum of Natural History wedsite URL is www.darwin.com, and woe to anyone who does not toe the Darwninian fundamentalist line.

I could go on and on!

BTW, IIRC Lonnie Bunch was an early supporter of Obamao when Bunch was director of a Chicago Historical Society or some such.

No wonder his mama trademarked his name. There are millions to be made from it.

“What’s next, a Lincoln memorial sized Saint Trayvon statue?”

It won’t be too large. Afterall, he was a “little 12 year old boy.”
