DC museum criticized for saying 'delayed gratification' and 'decision-making' are aspects of 'whiteness'


The museum's graphic breaks the "aspects and assumptions of whiteness" into categories such as "rugged individualism" and "history." For example, under "future orientation," the graphic lists "delayed gratification" and planning for the future as ideas spread by white culture. "It suggests that all pathways to success -- hard work, stable family structure, individual decisionmaking -- represent complicity in white supremacy. Located in Washington, D.C., the museum opened to the public in 2016. Congress established the museum in 2003 and, according to its website, is "the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture."
