THE CANCEL CULTURE IS NO LESS THAN EQUIVILANT TO NAZI BOOK BURNING.

The museum has no other dioramas that include humans, Tonsor said, “and certainly no white European humans being attacked by animals.”

Perhaps a tasteful depiction of Jews being loaded onto cattle cars would satisfy those on the left.

“In a 2015 marketing poll, it came in second behind the “Dippy” dinosaur statue outside the museum. Then in 2017, the diorama was refurbished and moved out of the hall of North African mammals to a more prominent spot at the entrance to the museum. The name was changed as well, from “Arab Courier Attacked by Lions” to “Lion Attacking a Dromedary.” The new name “better reflects the exhibit’s storyline. The change also seeks to dispel a long-held stereotype,” said an article in Carnegie Magazine at the time. “The rider misrepresents an Arab from North Africa, which is common in 19th-century art.”

That same year, the more visible display of the diorama helped to stir up controversy related to charges of historical inaccuracies and racism. The museum sponsored a public symposium to discuss the diorama and determined it presented a “stereotyped, colonialist misrepresentation of North Africa and the Middle East.”

Yes indeed. The only difference is that it took a crowd of Nazis to burn a library. It takes only one complaining “woke” person to cancel something today.

A large high school near me had an Indian in full headdress as its symbol. It was a noble depiction. Well, one person complained about it. Just one! And she wasn’t even a Native American.

The school’s symbol was immediately changed. Immediately! New school letterheads were ordered with the new symbol. New school shirts were ordered. The Indian mural on the gym wall was painted over. Etc.

All because of one silly complaint.

Ten bucks says that this museum would have no problem at all displaying “Pi$$ Christ” in a place of prominence...and reverence.

It's good to know that only Negroes have been traumatized. I'm sure survivors of the Baatan Death March and Auschwitz and the Potato Famine will be glad to hear the good news. Oh, and the Negro agitators can rest easy because the chap riding the camel looks to be Arab and not a Hutu or a Tutsi.

As a child that was my absolute favorite.

Which one was immoral: the lion for trying to eat the camel, or the camel for trying to starve the lion?

Never mind...it was the man for enslaving the camel.

It is amazing that a depiction of sheer courage and competence in the face of overwhelming odds (by an African) can be seen as somehow offensive.

“Lion Attacking a Dromedary”

Obviously happened on a Wednesday.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I’ve been visiting the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh since I was a little boy (tadpole).

Loved the animal dioramas, the dinosaurs, the Egyptian and Eskimo exhibits, plus all the artworks next door.

And now I love the gem, crystal and mineral exhibits too!

To the cancel culture I say “go f*ck yourselves with a pinecone.”

To anyone within a day’s drive of Pittsburgh, I recommend heartily the Carnegie Museum in Oakland, near Pitt, in Pittsburgh.

“For some people of color, their traumatic experience with racialized violence leads them to see ("Lion Attacking a Dromedary”) primarily through that lens,"

Oh, FFS! Will someone not tell these people to just shut up?

[Rebelbase]

Perhaps the offended would prefer something more up to date?

He notes it also depicts a male lion hunting, though it much more common for female lions do the hunting.

Comically irrelevant observation. Trying to get the feminists stirred up too, I guess.

Using real human bones in the diorama was pretty twisted, I have to say. I guess that's why it's no longer done.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

The best thing to do in cases like this is to tell the person or persons complaining to F#CK OFF!

[mass55th]

Just label the lion Antifa or BLM, and the portrayal of violence will be totally acceptable.
