Took All Our Rights

Put them in a rights museum.

The report pointed to a pattern of gendered racism being perpetuated against racialized men within the museum specifically against Black men, taking the form of sexualizing and fetishizing of certain Black and racialized men and stereotyping Black men as “dangerous and predatory.”

Khan said the museum has spent more than 4,000 hours on employee training in recent months to address sexual harassment as well as systemic racism and colonialism.

I’m still waiting for the Andy McMechan memorial.

  1. The monster like all organisms that operate on instinct, will search for food regardless if the meal ends up being one of its own.

  2. The report and it’s recommendations were likely written first. Then an “investigation” took place. Now the place will be an SJW’s wet dream.

  3. When hiring people to run a human rights museum, do not hire dysfunctional assholes. If you hire people with degrees in grievance studies you have just bared your arse to Communist/Nazi depredation.

    1. Nothing could sum it up better. The only -ism or -phobia missing from these grievances is Trans-phobia. Time for the Museum of Grievance to step up their game. Hire some chicks with dicks … and watch the fun ensue

  4. So all we need to end racism is for everyone who’s been vaccinated to start using deodorant regularly?

  5. Wouldn’t it be easier to just close it down and turn it into an Amazon warehouse?

    1. It would likely do more to promote human rights that an institution that promotes bitching about the past. Every alcoholic has a bullshit story blaming someone else for them being useless humanity. So does every race. 50 years ago I used to hear it from stone age third world citizens blaming the British for stealing their wealth. The never ever had any wealth and most of them are worse off 60 years after the Brits pulled out. I’ve got whiny stories too and would love to share them but I prefer not to be an asshole.

    2. They have to pretend for a while longer that people want to go there. The covid thing has given them perfect cover for a while to hide the fact that few do want to go.

      It will likely take a few years before they come to terms with their white elephant. At that point, they will have no idea what to do with it, as the building is suitable for nothing.

      1. Its a great tourist attraction in a morbid sort of way, kinda like that 100-story-tall unfinished hotel in North Korea’s capital.

  6. “Human rights lawyer Isha Khan, former executive director and senior counsel for the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, will begin in the position next week. Khan, 46, has no museum experience, but has worked for years as an advocate for human rights, working with organizational change and workplace culture.”

    Why hire someone with no museum experience to run a museum?

    Just rename it to the “manitoba museum of buzzwords and intolerance”

    1. It’s best to hive off the woke-est institutions. Fence them off from the rest of society, like in Lord of the Flies. Let the toxic social justices stew in their own venomous hate. Museums, universities, public broadcasters. All seem to be filled with the worst of the worst cultural Marxists. Kinda like prisons.

  7. The only investigation I’d be interested in is one of architectural misconduct on the part of the museum’s designer.
    What an effing disgrace. I really do wonder if it’s intentional to depress people.
    That said – I don’t hate myself so I’m really not interested in shelling out $18.00 to find out what a POS I am or was, even less for the antics of museum staff. So you’re hypocrites…geez, colour me shocked.

    From their website: Alberta theatres often presented minstrel shows performed by white people in make‐up or “blackface” that ridiculed people of African descent
    How terrible!! Who would do such a thing??

    1. Only in Alberta, of course.
      I think Al Jolson was from Red Deer, if I’m not mistaken.

    1. Why? Because they were required to and walking out can have severe consequences.

      I know all about that sort of thing. While I was at Armpit College, the institution adopted the “student as customer” ideology, complete with an indoctrination–oops! “training”–program for the staff.

      It was set up by my department head, partly as a way of making himself an attractive prospect for promotion into senior administration. Not content to inflicting it on the entire place, he insisted that everyone in our department be appropriately “trained”. That included me, which I openly resisted.

      I was “ordered” to take the “training” (“Take it, or else.” Nice and persuasive, eh?) and I reluctantly attended the sessions. I treated the waffle as the joke it clearly was, particularly when seemingly rational people appeared to enthusiastically embrace the barmy concepts.

      Eventually, I’d had enough and walked out, which meant I didn’t get the graduation certificate. My boss wasn’t pleased because he couldn’t then brag to his fellow department heads that all his staff had been “trained”, not to mention that it was an open embarrassment for him.

      He made sure that I was never forgiven for my act of defiance, taking every opportunity to get even and make my life miserable.

  8. Not surprising — the “museum” is staffed by a collection of one-trick ponies so the infighting and complaining can never stop. When all you are is a hammer, everyone around you . . .
