Bruce, I've generally been a fan of the IOTD & your work keeping it running. Lately I don't really check in on the cellar in general, but keep an eye on the RSS feed of the IOTD. But I popped in to say that this is some racist trash. I say that because the language + content of your post show consistent disrespect to a group of people clearly and calmly saying "this hurts us and here is why." You're dismissing their pain without looking twice at what hurts them, despite them + countless others providing a free education on the subject. And you're being pretty deliberately dense in order to do so. In no particular order: * address people how they want to be addressed, meaning retire "Indian". You're quoting passages where it's really clear how people want to be collectively referred to * WTF to the casino joke * why does it matter how far the piece progressed before the pain was felt? One does not need to be omniscient to be wronged. And it's fairly rich to have a 3-week statute of limitations on injuries resulting from approximately 400 years of colonization * 1/7th seems like a significant fraction when you're counting murders, and especially when what you quoted notes that fraction includes the largest mass execution in our history. * if you wanna see how black people have responded to an incredibly similar and recent piece of art, read up on this recent painting of Emmett Till after he was lynched: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/da...protest-897929 https://hyperallergic.com/368012/wha...z-controversy/ https://thenewinquiry.com/the-demand-remains/ http://contemptorary.org/the-rage-sexton/ * if you wanna see how black artists have chosen to respond to the USA's history of lynching, check out The Memorial To Peace and Justice |
