Actually, #Slavery Was Very Bad
Trump’s latest criticism of #museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase #Black #history.
In what looks to be an intensifying quest to reshape #AmericanHistory & scholarship according to his own preferences, #Trump this week targeted the #Smithsonian Institution, the national repository of #USHistory & #memory. Trump seemed outraged, in particular, by the Smithsonian’s portrayal of the Black experience in America.
He took to Truth Social to complain that the country’s museums “are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian,” he wrote, “is OUT OF CONTROL.” Then #Trump wrote something astonishing, even for him. He asserted that the narrative presented by the Smithsonian is overly focused on “how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, & how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been.”
#BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #USHistory #Slavery #museums #Smithsonian
Before continuing, it is important to pause a moment & state this directly: Donald Trump, the current #president of the #UnitedStates, believes that the #Smithsonian is failing to do its job, because it spends too much time portraying #slavery as “bad.”
