Stop the Human Zoo of Black People in Norway

The Issue

It is very sad that in the year of 2014 some people can have the idea of exhibiting people, any people - Human beings - but Black people in particular in a human zoo. Of course people who do that cannot claim to have the slightest knowledge of Black history and what such an exhibition means to Black people. A zoo is for animals, not for people. It is dehumanizing. What shall Black but also White children think when they see Black people in a zoo? It is just unbelievable.

It is claimed to spark a discussion on racism in Norway. Surely there are better ways than to re-create one of the darkest and most painful times of Black History.

Would the so-called artist re-create a live concentration camp with everything in it in Germany to spark a debate about Nazi's and Neo-Nazis? I don't think so. And besides - Germany wouldn't even allow it. Nobody wants to re-live a very painful time if not necessary.Therefore why would anyone think Black people would like to see a Human Zoo where they are exhibitioned? The so-called artists must think VERY LOW of Black people otherwise they would not do that. The so-called artists must question their own racism.

This exhibition of Black people in a Human Zoo must not, never ever happen!!!

Enough is enough!
