Hating Whitey, even if he's a Latino that has darker skin than Lord Obama, is the new pastime of the oppressed Government Funded Reparations Class.
Another boulevard to avoid when traveling.
That would be a nice display with a presidential seal and a couple of stogies.
Isn’t that the museum that has the Cynthia Plaster Caster collection?
>”Do they have the blue dress displayed?”<
I hear Arizona Watermelon Cocktail can take out any fabric stain that a Democrat can produce.
Ya bet ya.
This is not historic but feeds hysteria and racial discord. And, beyond anything else, it was the clothing someone wore at death, the display of which is inappropriate and tasteless.
The only death clothing that is worthy of display is the Shroud of Turin. And that is NOT a hoodie!
Yup. But Stevie Wonder could have saw it coming if not for his need to boycott ;)
Pathetic isn’t it?
I think the Shroud of Trayvon comments are accurate predictors as well.
A museum for black victimhood? A museum for the race-hustling grievance industry?
Black grandmothers will be so proud to take their children there.
The Kennedys were in the White House.
Lindbergh was a pioneer of flight.
Trayvon was a burglar and violent thug who did all kinds of drugs and had been kicked out of school.
But I guess Trayvon would be the perfect hero for Obamaland: an uneducated loser sitting around mooching off the government.
“The museum’s director, Lonnie Bunch, said Mr. Martin’s hoodie, the one he was wearing the night of his death on Feb. 26, 2012, represents a unique opportunity to further the discussion about race in America”
They need Zimmermans gun too! And the picture of George Z. in a KKK robes and hood (They can photoshop that) -— Lets tell the whole accepted story of how Zimmerman stalked the poor child and shot him down—the hit his own head on the cement to make it looked like he was attacked.

It is the museum that holds example props from works of fiction, like the chair of that “known bigot” Archie Bunker.
Put it alongside Rodney King’s crackpipe.
It's a big a scam as the Cardiff Giant and Piltdown Man.
Does the Smithsonian collection have Senator Robert Byrd’s KKK sheets and recruiter ID card?
For those that may not have visited:
The African American History Museum (part of the Smithsonian complex) was not built on the National Mall with the majority of Smithsonian museums. It was built in Anacostia, which most regard as "not the best neighborhood."
Because it was inconvenient for most tourists to visit, and also because it was in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood, I don't think they attracted many visitors.
I won't argue whether we need an African American Museum (or an American Indian museum, for that matter), but it smacked of unintended racism to build the museum there. I'm sure they meant for it to be an uplifting investment in the community, but it was not a place a typical middle-class visitor to Washington would venture.
Now they've changed the name to a community museum, or something of that nature, and they're building a new one on the Mall.
Off-topic: I hope it's more successful than the Museum of the American Indian (I think that's the name), which is probably the most boring of the Mall museums, at least for the typical tourist. I believe that one is more scholarly in nature. The times I was there, you could sense the impatience of people to go see the moon rock or the Hope Diamond or the Star Spangled Banner... the more exciting exhibits.
“The times I was there, you could sense the impatience of people to go see the moon rock or the Hope Diamond or the Star Spangled Banner... the more exciting exhibits.”
Yes, you are right on that observation. Children were noisy and impatient at the lines to see it (I was there and the line stretched so long I thought I was waiting for Metallica tickets) and the older adults, parents specifically Dads wanted to see the aviation wing.
