Temple University Student Art Display Tells White People to ‘Do Something’

A student art installation at Temple University curiously reads, “White People. Do Something,” and has provoked polarizing reactions across social media.

Up right now! An installation in the Tyler courtyard created by Kara Springer, a Sculpture graduate student! pic.twitter.com/8O63qWybPG

— Tyler School of Art TylerArtSchool) September 22, 2016

The Tyler School of Art at Temple University took to their Twitter account to brag about the art installation, which is located on a central quad at the Philadelphia-based institution. Although the project’s meaning remains unclear, it hasn’t stopped community members and internet commentators from speculating about the artist’s motivation.

The “sculpture” was created by graduate art student Kara Springer and has provoked an assortment of confusion, anger, and praise across social media.

Unfortunately everyone needs to do something. What's happening right now is not working. I have yet to hear anyone talk about what racial reconciliation looks like that doesn't involve taking a lot of money from some people and giving it to other people.

What is CIS ?

[Danke]

What is CIS ?

Cisgender (often abbreviated to simply cis) is a term for people who have a gender identity that matches the sex that they were assigned at birth. Cisgender may also be defined as those who have "a gender identity or perform a gender role society considers appropriate for one's sex."[1] It is the opposite of the term transgender.[2]

There are two versions of the term: cis male for "male assigned male at birth" or cis female for "female assigned female at birth". Further derivations analogously include "cis man" and "cis woman", as well as cissexism (or "cissexual assumption" or "cisnormativity").

[nobody's_hero]

Well I must admit, I've had an epiphany.

It took someone making this fabulous work of art to inspire me to go out and solve the problems facing other races of the world simply because of the color of my white skin, skin which in itself gives me tremendous super powers that I never knew I possessed until now.

[Brian4Liberty]

Obviously inspired by Kipling...


Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.

Take up the White Man's burden, In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit, And work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden, The savage wars of peace—
Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought.

Take up the White Man's burden, No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper, The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living, And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard—
The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:—
"Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden, Ye dare not stoop to less—
Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you.

Take up the White Man's burden, Have done with childish days—
The lightly proffered laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood, through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers!

All people should do something or somethings. Ideally, start voting with both your feet and your dollars more. Disgusted by the oppressiveness of a local or state government? Move! Strongly disagree with the CEO of a major company that you frequently interact with? Consider supporting the competitors. Worried about the future? Save money, but also a little food, water, and other things.

From their FAQ: Why is a person of color leading this? Isn't that just more of people of color doing taxing emotional labor for white people? True, it's not the responsibility of individual people of color to educate white people around white supremacy. And at the same time, it's important for white people to follow the guidance of socially conscious people of color. That way, they can appropriately engage in racial justice work without accidentally perpetuating white supremacy in the process. So how do we balance this tension at Everyday Feminism? By doing this work as an organization and not as individuals. We make sure the people of color involved have the deep emotional capacity and strong desire to do this work with white people – plus the institutional support to take care of themselves in any way that's needed.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_and_Lesbian_Kingdom_of_the_Coral_Sea_Islands


The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands (also known as The Gay Kingdom of the Coral Sea - for example on postage stamps) was established as a symbolic political protest by a group of gay rights activists based in Australia. Declared in 2004 in response to the Australian government's refusal to recognise same-sex marriages, it was founded on Australia's external overseas Territory of the Coral Sea Islands, a group of uninhabited islets east of the Great Barrier Reef.[2] It is an expression of ***** nationalism.

Can I apply for minority status?

Email them. I'm sure AF could slip a good recommendation to them for you. Maybe get HB to write a letter on your behalf.

13 September 2004, the Gay Kingdom declared war on Australia.



The kingdom issued its first stamps in July 2006 "with the aim of creating a high and distinctive reputation amongst the philatelic fraternity". The kingdom's website says that tourism, fishing and philatelic sales are its only economic activities. However, swimming, reef walking, lagoon snorkelling, bird-watching, seashell-collecting, and shipwreck-exploring are all gay government-sanctioned non-economic activities.[1]

In a scheme similar to Israel's Law of Return, a person is automatically granted permanent resident status and is immediately eligible for citizenship in the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands simply by being gay or lesbian.

The kingdom's national anthem is "Zadok the Priest."

It's actually good art that they hit by accident. Without realizing it they created a thought-provoking piece that could be interpreted in radically different ways. The only interpretation in her head when she made was, "white people, do something to help minorities rule over you". However, it could also mean, "white people, do something before the people who hate you rise up and kill you or put you in chains". Or, as I saw someone comment on a tweet about it, it could mean, "Oh no, there are white people around, do something about it. Get them out of here".

The Aztecs & Incas invented it , first guy with a patent was some french guy in Montreal. The US is the leading exporter of peanut butter , ya cannot say that about many things .
