Robin DiAngelo, the woke white author of White Fragility, has called Michelangelo’s painting of the creation of man in the Sistine Chapel an icon of “white supremacy.” (snip) “The single image I use to capture the concept of white supremacy is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel God creating man,” she said, “you know, where God is in a cloud and there’s all these angels and he’s reaching out and he’s touching — I don’t know who that is, David or something — and God is white and David’s white and the angels are white.”
“That is the perfect convergence of white supremacy, patriarchy, right?” she added.

Ever notice how the people telling us not to judge all Muslims by Hamas are the same people telling us all white people are racist?

Suck it up racist. When you get an artist as good as Michelangelo, then come back and talk about it. Until then, quietly slink away.

I’m fed up with this constant carping about racism. It’s to the point that all the wokesters want to do is look at skin color and point it out. Just stop.

She thinks God is anointing "David" in the painting.
Claims to have been raised and indoctrinated as a Catholic.

Why would anyone expect artifacts created by any civilization or people-group to reflect anything except themselves? That's insanity! But then, the left IS insane.

If the Sistine Chapel had been built in the 1500's Africa by Black people and Michelangelo was Black, he most likely would have used all Black people and angels in the paintings. If in 1500's China, all Asians. These PC Police use today's ideals and standards to judge people from ages ago. People who most likely never traveled more than a few miles from where they were born.

Leftist race-baiter trying to make a name for herself so she can scoop up the Big Bucks.
Who does she think she is, anyway?..... Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?

When White Fragility was published, I picked it up and read a few pages and came to the conclusion that Robin DiAngelo was dumber than a bag of hammers. I have not changed my mind.

Being a victim is so much easier than living in the real world.
Our country is awash in self proclaimed victims.
And everything is the white men's fault.

I was reading about Chinese art, the Tang Dynasty, the other day. Funny, all the people depicted were Chinese.

I'm still waiting to see the "African" equivalent of the Sistine Chapel, or Michelangelo, or beautiful artwork. Where can we find that, Robin?
"White Fragility" is in reality simply open criticism of every great thing people of "no color" have created in time which the negro hasn't, or can't, do. Their continuously bringing attention to their own lack of accomplishment doesn't do themselves any favors.

Who’s the racist?
Art springs from the mid of the creator. That someone is so ignorant and narrow as to not see the universality of great art, and to insist on allegiance to some parochial fad like wokeness and political correctness, says more about a lack of penetration than any kind of valid humanitarian philosophy.

So? There weren't any POCs painting anything in the 16th century other than smearing war stripes on their faces as they killed each other with clubs and spears before cooking their enemies to eat them.

Well get cracking and put AI to work, so the rendition can become the race they want. Then replace all schoolbooks, library books and online references. In a generation no one will know any better.

Maybe. a Moorish sailor or two?

What a load of rubbish. This is how stupidity and dishonesty influence society. One does not create a 'standard' and apply it to events centuries in the past. The author did not come up with this idea. She's just a parrot hoping others will parrot what she is parroting. Anti-white, anti-male, and anti-Christian. It's hatred. Who originated this stinking pile of you know what?

It’s not just the race of the people who populate paintings of that era. Look at some of the nativity paintings from that time period and notice that the people are clothed, not in rough cloth robes from Christ’s time but in elaborate gowns and accessories which were in style at the time the painting was completed.

If they can remove Aunt Jemima’s picture from a box of pancake mix, surely they can remove all the white people from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

I have a hunch that this idiot identifying posting - for social media purposes - is lucrative in some way. There is no other reason to explain the literal race to the bottom. My dad used to ponder the idiocy of entertainment ie; for fun people used to get together and grunt and make the type of drawing insects make when living under rocks (I didn't know he was quoting PJ O'Rourke at the time). I appreciate my dad more every day.

Returning from a trip to Africa in 1977, my family spent several days in Rome seeing all the sights. Our visit to the Sistine Chapel was simply awe inspiring. What a privilege to see Michelangelo's art. (We heard that the great artist was not especially pleased to have to do all that painting while lying on his back on a scaffold.)

White Fragility????
The entire modern world was created by white males, I don’t think they were fragile.
And, they didn’t stand around obsessing with the color of their skin, or anyone else’s.

In 500 years, the Sistine Chapel ceiling painted by Michelangelo will still be regarded as a great work of art. On the other hand, Robin D'Angelo's writings, White Fragility, will be long forgotten or looked upon as a divisive period in history when liberal ideology had no rhyme or reason, grasping at straws to explain away the failures of certain minority groups to thrive in society.

I doubt if they had many non-White people running around Italy in those days for the artist to use as models. I bet if you go to Africa you won't see many art works depicting Irishmen. Would you call them racists?
