No. For the inevitable thread and usual outrage. I suppose I could start the thread myself, along the lines of why there isn't a white music awards ceremony. If I get a 5 page response can I call that success? I think there's enough gullibility and bandwagon jumpers to fill the quota

In a world where anyone who talks up White culture is called a White supremacist, what do expect people to say about MOBO?
How do you expect to evolve as a species if we keep labeling things by skin colour?

European history is dominated by white people because... wait for it....almost everyone is white.

Try telling that to a Hungarian, Serb, Spaniard or Bosnian. You need to brush up on your European history.

For anybody who seems to have a problem recognising who the white guys and gals are....You know the 'what is white anyway' crew......Here's a little education for you.

They are the ones who don't get the affirmative action jobs.

Got it now?

No one seems to have much difficulty when it comes to working it out on that score.

It must take an awful lot of energy to be that obtuse.

You can try telling people from these countries that they are black and see how you get on. Something is telling me that they will not be planning a museum of black culture in any of those countries anytime soon.

Ha! That would go down about as well as the scene in True Romance where Dennis Hopper's character describes the ancestral history of the scilians to Christopher Walken's character!

Edit: just seen the link posted to this scene above, great minds and all that...

That's a fair point but history was only taught up to a certain period.
For example, I was never taught about WW2 because it was too recent.
Being totally honest, I feel that the profile of Black people in this country is much greater than their actual numbers. Therefore, I am confident that Black history will be widely available for future generations.
I understand that Black history is important to those who feel separated from their cultural roots but the past is the past.
I like many people have been interested in my ancestry but I will not fall into the trap that some seem to do by feeling responsible or somehow limited by the lives of my ancestors. Other than sharing some genes, their lives and mine are totally separate. They had their day, with it's good and bad and although you can certainly learn from the past, we are not bound by it.

I think I need a lie down. I fully agree with this post.

I'm questioning the point of any museum that only wants exhibits from one racial element of society. No one has answered any point about how that promotes diversity, inter-culturalism or any of those type of ideals.
This could be interpreted as saying 'loads of black culture is not important enough for national museums, let's build a token one to put stuff from black culture in'. As I said - ghettoised culture.

The point being that a group of people believe that said history isn't being properly represented in current museums. I personally don't see it as a token gesture. You'd be surprised how many people (not including blacks) would find this of interest
