Michelangelo's Creation of Man is dubbed a symbol of 'white supremacy'

Woke author, Robin DiAngelo believes because Adam and God are depicted as white men, the art piece represents white patriarchyShe doesn't only think Caucasians have dominion, but also they are fearful

Michelangelo’s masterpiece, The Creation Of Man, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is a symbol of white supremacy, according to one woke writer.

The world-renowned piece of art which features a white-skinned Adam reaching out his hand to God, has come under fire.

It has been called ‘the perfect convergence’ of Caucasian dominion.

American Author, Robin DiAngelo, who is known for her strong woke views hit out at the legendry Italian artist on Jalon Johnson’s ‘Not Your Ordinary Parts’ podcast.

The offended author said: ‘The single image I use to capture the concept of white supremacy is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel God creating man.’

‘You know, where God is in a cloud and there’s all these angels and he’s reaching out and he’s touching – I don’t know who that is, David or something – and God is white and David’s white and the angels are white.’

‘That is the perfect convergence of white supremacy, patriarchy, right?’.

DiAngelo believes that white people ensure they maintain their patriarchy by reproducing whiteness in ‘everyday narratives’ in order to spread a common notion that being white is the norm.

She doesn’t only believe that white people are a patriarchy keeping other races subdued, she is also convinced that white people are innate scared.

In her 2018 book ‘White Fragility’, she wrote: ‘White people in the US and other white settler colonialist societies live in a racially insular social environment.

‘This insulation builds our expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering our stamina for enduring racial stress.

‘I term this lack of racial stamina White Fragility.

‘White Fragility is a state in which even a minimal challenge to the white position becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves including: argumentation, invalidation, silence, withdrawal and claims of being attacked and misunderstood.

‘These moves function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and maintain control.’

‘White Fragility’ shot to number one on the New York Times bestseller list in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder.

On top of her royalties from the book, which is reported to have at one stage been selling 20,000 copies every week, she is also reported to have made over half-a-million pounds the year after Floyds death from speaking events.

The world-famous Sistine Chapel took Michelangelo four years to paint and was finished in 1512.

It was created right in the middle of the Italian High Renaissance and is consistently ranked in the top 10 most famous paintings of all time.

In modern times, the chapel is visited by around 5m tourists every year.
