// when museums take shit that’s not theirs//

latinosexuality:

and exhibit it. yeah, no. and to argue against that and “just let it be” type shit.

do you know how long it took the government and people of South African to get the remains and body back of Saartjie Baartman? She died in 1816 and was “displayed” until 1985. didnt return until 2002. you do the math. people dont just “give shit back” if that’s how it worked wouldn’t we see more sovereignty and self-determination for countries versus them seen and treated as colonies?

shut the entire fuck up. 

and don’t get me started on “the smithsonian institute” ie US government approved art. i got stories for daaayyyss abt how my father and his art were treated by museums. this is OUR history and OUR stories not YOUR entertainment or YOUR education.
