Do you agree with this crap? What they're saying here is that the political culture of sub-Saharan Africa is equal to the political capture of the West. Even though Britain is no longer a free country they still have much less corrupt than sub–Saharan African countries. Corruption is so bad in some countries that it impedes the economy. And my assertion that sub–Saharan Africa did not have an independent iron age is racist because it implies that sub-Saharan Africa develops later than the Eurasian nations. Those Africanists that claim that Africa developed their own independent Iron Age are just lying; corruption is so bad in Africa that it affects even the academic world there'
Maya Sharma is the strategic adviser for the Re:Collections project"adviser in the Labour mission to make Wales “anti-racist” has claimed that racism is when “white people hold negative views” of other ethnicities.
The devolved Government has pledged to make Wales anti-racist by 2030, and museums are now obliged to present the “right historic narrative” in their displays.
Taxpayer’s money will fund work which ensures the mandated narrative, and cash has gone to the “Re:Collections” project, which takes a leading role in this work by instructing Welsh museums on how to become “anti-racist organisations”.
The project has provided a “resource” which sets out a definition of racism.
Written by Maya Sharma, a strategic adviser for the programme, it claims that: “Racism is, fundamentally, the belief that white people and their ways of thinking, culture, political systems and histories are superior to that of other ‘races’.”
She has claimed in a set of resources for the Re:Collections project to make Welsh museums anti-racist that racism as a whole is based on a power imbalance, wherein “white people, institutes and nations hold far larger amounts of power”.
The overview of what racism is, and how to mitigate it in the museum sector, makes it clear that there are both interpersonal and institutional variants of racism.
Ad
Interpersonal racism is “where white people hold negative, stereotypical or discriminatory beliefs about people from other ethnicities”, according to the resource for museums.
Institutional racism she has defined as an institution having policies and practices “that work better for white people”.

The writings are presented online as a resource which curators can use to help their work in making museums anti-racist, whether based in Wales or not.
It states that diverse histories can be relevant to many communities, and “a country often thought of as ‘white’ both in terms of its history and population, has a wealth of fascinating international stories to tell”.
The Re:Collections project was launched by the Association of Independent Museums in 2022 to help Welsh attractions meet the demands of the Government’s “Anti-Racist Action Plan”.
Racism ‘eradicated by 2030’
Wales had insisted that museums, galleries and public artworks “promote messages of diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism” as part of the anti-racist action plan.
Re:Collections, which aims to provide “bespoke consultancy” on making museums anti-racist, has received government funding to support projects which transform cultural attraction to conform to its mandated narrative.
The Lloyd George Museum recently consulted with the project on how to “decolonise” the former prime minister’s childhood cottage.
Ms Sharma, the Association of Independent Museums and the Welsh Government have been contacted for comment."

I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.
