I’m sure many of these art possessions are excellent, and excellence is always in the eye of the beholder, just like beauty. I mean, I don’t care what the pointy-heads say: we simply LIKE our painting of poker-playing dogs.
But let’s get real: this is id-pol pandering. It’s fine and all to talk about redlining, an undeniable historical injustice that has been illegal for 50 years. What about its modern equivalent, which largely includes efforts to immiserate working-class neighborhoods (white, black, Asian, Hispanic, you name it) by saturating them with illegal immigrants (the housing is already cheap) who get taxpayer-funded services while the native-born languish? This is every bit as insidious as redlining was, and it’s happening as I type. And the people bankrolling these identitarian artistic efforts are hoping to dupe people into not noticing. And, up until recently, the duplicity has been largely successful.
How wonderful it is to use foundation money to judge by skin color, rather than by merit or content of character. Such amazing progress.
