"Meantime, Robert Levy, the chair of the AIC’s Board of Trustees, wrote in a recent Chicago Tribune op-ed that “critical self-reflection and participatory, recuperative action is required if we are to remain relevant to the changing audiences seeking connection to art.”"

Lol, Roberts fancy way of saying; ' I am a white liberal consumed with a guilt I cannot quantify, but will attempt to make myself feel better about by destroying other white people lives....'

Would it be unreasonable to think that this; "I am a white liberal consumed with a guilt I cannot quantify, but will attempt to make myself feel better about by destroying other white people lives" is a comment by a racist?

Yes. The elite hope to appease the masses by going along with neo-racism. They don't realize that it only buys them a bit of time. But, in reality, it's a slippery slope to hell.

As the former elite of Venezuela. They went along. Figured it would blow over. Instead it blew up their lives and the whole country is now Woke and Broke.

>> Also posted this above - it seems appropriate as a comment on AIC's Chairman.

Well Robert Levy should simply put his words to action. Resign once a POC is found to replace him.

He won’t and he is an elitist insulated by his wealth.

Or "I'm a white liberal consumed with fear that if I don't kowtow to these race and "gender" radicals, I'll be out on my ear.

I don't disagree, yet that quote was doublespeak BS, saying essentially nothing. Guess that's why he makes the big $.

If he had any anti racist bones in his body, he’d quit and let a black person have his job. Or a woman. Or anybody but him.

He could just throw on a dress and some dimestore lipstick and call himself a woman. Abracadabra, problem solved!

His job is safe for now because according to intersectionality theory, his successor must be the rarest of the rare, a five hundred pound, biracial, bipolar, "transgender lesbian" (biological man).

Yeah, that's what a LOTTA self-hating white people are doing for the past, I guess, nine years. BLM, the MARXIST group similar to the 60s Black Panther (political) Party, started up based on a bald-faced lie, back in '12 I thin'. When Zimmerman was FRAMED by people of that ilk.

Once a person has drunk the Kool-aide they are very easily misled. Progressives have been infected with the Woke virus and they're now immune from the truth.

There's a saying, "none are so blind as those who refuse to see"

Radical chic. Like the time the conductor Leonard Bernstein hosted a high society cocktail party, and the guests of honor were the Black Panthers.

Yeah, but most of the vintage Panthers were products of the middle class pretending to be working class, so they wouldn't have been entirely lost at a fancy cocktail party.

Yes. Just like the parents of Ta-Nahisi Coates. His father was a Black Panther and book publisher, and his mother was a teacher. But the venue, Bernstein's Park Avenue penthouse, and the big name guest list (including Barbara Walters, Hollywood directors Otto Preminger and Sidney Lumet, author Tom Wolfe and NYTimes society reporter Charlotte Curtis) would have overwhelmed anyone.
