Nigerian man has called out a Chinese museum over perceived racial abuse.

The man, Edward E. Duke, posted a video of some photos displayed in the gallery of 首都博物馆 the capital museum. He pointed the attention of media houses to the brazen racial abuse portrayed in the photos via Instagram.

In the gallery were hung photos of wild animals, framed alongside those of black-skinned people. The photo of a lion which appeared to be growling in the photo was framed alongside the photo of a man with a similar expression, a chimpanzee with its mouth opened wide was framed alongside a child who appeared to have a similar expression, photos of other animals were also framed side by side with those of humans wearing similar expressions. All the human characters appeared to be of African origin.

“首都博物馆 the capital museum put pictures of a particular race next to wild animals why? Are they the only race to have impoverished looking,” Duke wrote as a caption to his video post.



While many of the comments joined to condemn the art, a few of them are of the opinion that Asians are generally extremely ignorant about the black race.

Jayogim said, “This is to tell u how stupid these people really are…meanwhile they have the most alien look in d world.”

Faust_the_third said: “Asians are generally extremely ignorant about the black race.”

Blavkgatsby said, “This is wrong in every sense.”

“Well…things happen within the greatfirewall of 中国 (China)” wrote Iphiekaosiso

Chidi.chi said, “I’d like to know the rationale behind this silly project.”

While a commentator said the description beside the display should be taken into account before passing judgement.

Iphiekaosiso said, “@eddydizzle next time, get a picture of the Chinese description at the side so we can read what the author thinks.”

Truth be told the pictures are actually great and beautiful. I guess that's what I see in the pictures. Everyone has the right to air their own view on what they see and hear. We both look outside our house I see opportunities, favors, grace but you see something else, what I saw is mine and vice versa. In China's voice "if I say O, you say P anoda man say C omo na you sabi"

Chinese actually means insects

In my native Swahili sha!
