You might be surprised to learn that Mickey Mouse is not held in high esteem by The Smithsonian. There’s one museum exhibit that describes Steamboat Willie as a vestige of long-standing traditions of a blackface minstrel show. 

That revelation came during a congressional hearing with Anthea Hartig, the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. 

Mickey Mouse is racist? Now, that’s just goofy. 

Turns out the Smithsonian has all sorts of woke exhibits and ideology. Did you know that being polite is a form of white supremacy? Or that you can purchase a children’s story book that includes pictures of two boys lusting after each other? 

They also share Latino Power merchandise. To illustrate the absurdity – imagine the outrage if they sold White Power merch. 

What’s puzzling is why you can purchase gay-themed books at the Smithsonian gift shop – but you can’t purchase a copy of the two books that most influenced the Founding Fathers – the Holy Bible and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. 

How ironic that you can’t find common sense in The Smithsonian museums.
