Sarah Maid of Albion: left says Grimms too white

[Professor Cold Heart]

sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2010/05/echoes-from-different-world.html

She starts off by describing a hospital which contains murals illustrating fairy tales (gorgeous paintings, by the way- the post's worth a read for that alone) before suddenly spiralling into Daily Mail mode:

The Princess and the Pea (above - so sensitive was the princesses fair skin she could feel the hard pea despite all the mattresses - not very PC that is it?)

Of course, it would not be permissible now to decorate the walls of a public building with such images, for they are far too European, the children and fairies in them are too rosy cheeked, their lips too red and, most damningly their skin is too white.

When such projects are undertaken today the inclusion of diversity and multiculturalism would be mandatory. No matter that the structure is in England, nothing must be permitted to reflect the ancient native English culture unfettered by the alien and imported ones. Were anything resembling those walls to unveiled today, not only would the shrieks of “EWWW migh God, it's soowe disgustingly WHITE!!” be heard from Belsize Park to Dulwich, but the authorities would probably become involved, and someone would be prosecuted.

Little Red Riding hood would be unlikely to get passed the censors, she would be found guilty of stereotyping those famously gentle and vegetarian creatures, wolves, whilst Jack the Giant Killer would be banned for certain on account of heightism. Babes in the Wood might just be okay, although the malevolence of the white villains, the nasty uncle and his underlings, might be exaggerated while the babes themselves would probably end up mixed race.

Jack and Jill would probably be one of the few Nursery Rhymes to make it through on account of the fact that it is the clumsy white male who falls and breaks his crown, whilst Jill's “tumbling” would become clever athletics which enable the smart (now Muslim feminist) Jill to avoid the same fate as her inferior male counterpart.

Or maybe they would insist on some contemporary fairy tales, and we would be confronted by little Sayyid and his designer suicide belt, the enchanting Isha with the burka that doubled as a time machine, and brave Julius who sang a special song to make all the naughty white people disappear.

You say I jest yet the sad fact is you know that panels such as those which decorate the walls of the old St Thomas's hospital South Wing would not be allowed in any publicly funded building built in Britain today... a Channel 4 documentary would be made about racism in design and maybe even questions would be asked in Parliament ("I call upon my honourable friend, the minister for cultural reassignment, to share my outrage at the saddening and lamentable lack of new order approved diversity in the design of .......")

More wrathspittle can be found in the comments section:

It almost makes me wonder if these need to be taken down and hidden to protect them lest some iconoclast destroy them.

...the degradation of art as part of Common Purpose, aimed at dismantling British identity.

Why not run a competition for real young British artists? The BNP should call for submissions.

Kind of interesting to see a fuss that is, quite literally, over something that hasn't happened.

Wow. Talk about paranoia.

[dasfuchs]

I'm surprised this didn't spin off into "They'll show all these fairy tales, but there can't be a picture of Jesus"

[worlder]

Oh please unless it overtly displays excessive British nationalism, it won't get taken down.

Even then there has to be a consensus to be reached about the content of the paintings.

[Professor Cold Heart]

Another gem's been posted. The second paragraph from the bottom's my favourite:

agree that it is important for there to be a healthy supply of high quality new nationalist art for propaganda purposes. Maybe this could be achieved by some sort of art competition or prize?

I would particularly like to see art created for the purpose of making liberals feel guilty for their support of race replacement. For example:

- Art that romantisises the white working class ( paintings of Lindsey oil refinery strikers, paintings of men in high viz jackets etc)

- Art that highlights all that is wrong with mass immigration, (paintings of 7/7, grim paintings of knife crimes in grubby take away joints, gun crimes, paintings of that mass gang stabbing outside a London train station recently etc)

- Art that demonises or pokes fun at the sneering Guardian reading London media class, politicians etc and would make the liberals feel ashamed to be part of that class of people when they look at such a painting.

- Art that makes the white liberals feel guilty for abandoning the white working class. (eg, a painting of a white liberal woman kneeling over and cooing over a newly adopted black baby. Meanwhile she has her back turned on her own white children who are toddlers and are crying out for their mother, with anguish on their faces. But the white mother isn't listening, she can't hear their cries, she has abandoned them for her exotic new plaything. One of the white abandoned toddlers crawls off to the far right of the painting where a man who looks vaguely like Nick Griffin is ready to give the abandoned white toddler a warm embrace)

- Art that serves as a warning to the middle class liberals who hate the WWC. The warning in the painting would convey the message: You won't lose your skin colour, but you could lose your money and become one of the white working class that you so despise. So you'd better be nice to the white working class, because it could be you in the future - and if it was you, you wouldn't want some sneering Guardian reading white liberal snob calling you "white trash chav scum".

Honestly, I'm really tempted to draw some of these just to troll them. Any resident artists who want to join in?

I can't imagine that reasonable nationalist or patriotic images would be regarded as intolerant. Its the fascist BNP stuff that people fnd objectionable. Battle of Hastings, Queen of England and so on is what I mean by reasonable patriotic images.

Edit: the above shows an excellent example of the fascist element in British society. Roughly every intelligent human would find that shit unacceptable and would demand it be removed.

[tolpuddlemartyr]

Given that her fetish seems to revolve around race rather than nation, the point about patriotism seems moot.

Also, weren't most of those fairytales penned by funny furren people who had the audacity to first write them in a language other than perfectly good English?

Everyone knows that the princess was bruised from the pea under the mattresses because of hereditary hemophilia due to excessive inbreeding amongst the royal family.

[Art Vandelay]

Well, last I checked, Britain was European. Seems logical its folklore would be comprised of white people, no? Furthermore, does this mean that, for example, Chinese are racist because their fairy tales would be based on Asian characters?

The Chinese don't have traditional folklore any more. Disney owns all the copywrites.

[mistermuncher]

"Well, last I checked, Britain was European. Seems logical its folklore would be comprised of white people, no?"

It is European, yes. It's entirely logical to do so, yes. None of which explains this crazy fucking bint and her "I saw some pichurrs and made some shit up about evil forces supressing our PROUD WHITE CULTURE", despite said pictures, being proudly on display, not "afflicted" with any false diversity, in a public, government funded building.

Poor old Maid Of Albion is like much of the Right fringe. They've got surprisingly little in the way of real, extant problems, but a head full of bad wiring and an unrequited *need* for oppression. When it becomes plain that the PC Brigade, The evil Immigrants, the filthy reds and all the other forces they proudly rail against are nowhere near as big, scary or powerful as their rhetoric implies, they simply make shit up. .

An interesting development: turns out that the Princess and the Pea painting she posted on her blog is an illustration by Edmund Dulac; the other image she posted looks like Dulac's work as well.

I wonder what she makes of the fact that Dulac, far from restricting himself to white people, painted a number of beautiful illustrations for The Arabian Nights and Hans Christian Andersen's The Nightingale (set in China). Even his Beauty and the Beast pictures look pretty Oriental.

And I missed this gem from the original post:

In place of those rejected politically incorrect European fairy tales would depictions of scenes from tales allegedly passed down by word of mouth through generations of Asian tribes, or found written in Aramaic script on crumbling parchment in Timbuktu, but, more likely actually made up in a studio flat in Cricklewood a few weeks earlier.

Instead of Jack and the Beanstalk we would see young Abdul Hasib and the his magic pomegranate dancing before a beaming and peace loving Mohamed.

She thinks that drawing pictures of Mohamed will placate Muslims? What cave has she been living in!?

She strikes me as the kind of person who lives in their own private universe where everything revolves around her and only come out when they need to use this universe to crap on

Art that serves as a warning to the middle class liberals who hate the WWC. The warning in the painting would convey the message: You won't lose your skin colour, but you could lose your money and become one of the white working class that you so despise.

So the British class system is entirely about money, is it? You fail sociology forever.
