Some will mourn for #Japanese artist #YayoiKusama and euphemistically downplay her "problematic" or "complicated" legacy.

NO... she was a racist!

News of her recent death has already led to the media whitewashing decades of Kusama dehumanizing Black people in her writings. She only apologized after being called out ahead of her show at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2023.

Dolly Parton bought a complex from the $10 million profits from the Whitney Houston cover.

It's not clear how doing such helped the local Black community and if it did, surely a media outlet would want to share the details of how it did such, but no media outlet has done so.

No mention of increasing the salary of people who worked there or making the complex more efficient so that more businesses got involved.
