I’m only surprised he’s not a flat earther who thinks NASA and all their works are a grand conspiracy. I mean that fits right with the MAGAKanye brand. Gravity is a choice. 

The baby is cute.  That’s all I’ve got.

I noticed he is wearing NASA sweatpants - are they training his ass to go to space? If so, where can I send my money for GoFundMe to make sure his dumb ass gets there .....quickly? I am only contributing to a one way ticket though. Let him and his plastic wife be a legit Lost in Space. “Danger, Coonye West”

I think the decision-making staff should be black BECAUSE they are always all-white. If these positions weren’t so overwhelmingly white then I think it wouldn’t be a big deal, but when you look at these museums that are built to tell the stories of black and brown people but are still ran by white people, it just…

White people always point at/blame the pipeline, then they never do a goddamn thing to FIX THE PIPELINE. They don’t want us to be able to compete with them.

If they did hire black people, they’d hire recent immigrants, who feel much the same way about Diasporan African-Americans as white people do. 

You get a prominent name in black art, specifically hip hop, to co-curate. It’s the fucking Smithsonian. They could have found someone.

Wow April and J apologized? I did not see that coming. I didn’t particularly have a dog in this race. I understand the problem and agreed with DJ Chubb, but also understand that curating is one of those jobs for rich people. And the few black curators there are tend to be the, “WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO CARE ABOUT BLACK…

You’re telling me a bunch of fine white liberals in San Francisco put their own interests first?  How shocking.

Yeah, I didn’t understand that argument (rebuttal) of “Do you really want a rapper curating?” uh??? YES!

I would pay to see a museum curated by Rick Rubin, that would be dope as hell.

All of DeLa was still alive. Black Thought was thin. Russell Simmons wasn’t a publicly accused known rapist. Good times.

Back when I used to work there, the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco had a white President of the Board of Directors, a white Director of Exhibitions, a white Programs Director, and so on. Every position that had anything to do with making decisions about that place was held by white people. We couldn’t…

The lack of Black Curators, the lack of Black Curators in the pipeline, the lack of Black Curators being hired debate has been going on for years. The major requires one to spend a LOT of money and the curation jobs that really pay are few and far between.  

I wonder how many people of color were interviewed for the position that Timothy Ann Burnside holds.

As soon as I read about the hitchhiking I wondered if she was indigenous. It was so eerily familiar to the Highway of Tears murders. 

Alaska has a fairly high sex crime rate; in part apparently due to distance, high Native Pop/*victims nobody apparently gives half a shit about, and an influx of people who have less options in the lower 48.

Director Skidmore’s explanation about kidnapping is wrong. The victim accepted a ride to Muldoon from Spenard. Instead he drove her in a completely opposite direction to 36th and Wisconsin. That’s kidnapping regardless of what happened when she originally got in the vehicle. Under AK statutes restraining the…

OK. There is a whole sub culture that practices strangulation while having sex. David Carradine comes to mind. Remember Kung Fu? Believe me, for some people this is a thing. And you’re right. He’s probably done this before and will again. And for the record, this poor woman was an Alaskan native, which explains her…

And America’s (and us too in Canada) record of treating Native women as basically non-existent continues unabated.
