The Smithsonian Institution (Smithsonian) is the world's largest museum complex and research organization. Its annual operating and capital program revenues come from its own private trust fund assets and federal appropriations, with the majority of funds for facilities coming from federal appropriations.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture, a taxpayer-funded institution, is teaching people that those traits that define quality character — polite behavior, hard work ethic, respect for authority, etc. — are part of “white culture.”
In other words, the Smithsonian Institution museum is teaching people, including impressionable children, that being a quality person doesn’t compute with being black or really any other minority, be it Asian, Hispanic, etc.

Oppression
Systems of oppression are individual, institutional, and societal and their effects on people have a long history deeply rooted in American culture.
Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all assigned multiple social identities. Within each category, there is a hierarchy - a social status with dominant and non-dominant groups. As with race, dominant members can bestow benefits to members they deem "normal," or limit opportunities to members that fall into "other" categories.
A person of the non-dominant group can experience oppression in the form of limitations, disadvantages, or disapproval. They may even suffer abuse from individuals, institutions, or cultural practices. "Oppression" refers to a combination of prejudice and institutional power(link is external) that creates a system that regularly and severely discriminates against some groups and benefits other groups.

We can all be assured that the marxist's goals of embedding white racism, systemic racism and privilege, is being elevated into a #1 hierarchy as we speak and that whenever the terms begin in the fall, whether online or face-to-face (F2F), this garbage and racism will be topic #1, programmed into course assignments and into faculty performance reviews, which determine whether we are Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory and are able to move onto promotion into Professorship. The same things will be enforced from the bottom up in K-12. Now is the time for all of us to do anything and everything to get involved in media and education, get on school boards, show up, meet Chairpersons, meet faculty, and use your God-given voice, because every voice matters. We are not on our own in this, but if we abdicate, we are.
