On the nonsense of postcolonial debates

How can it be explained that a radical left-wing minority has kidnapped our historical memory? That she was successful with post-colonial impertinences like renaming Mohrenstraße?

With the result that paintings by Brücke artists in a Berlin exhibition had to be renamed by curators and the term "islanders" was replaced by "natives". Not to mention the infamous N-word and the question discussed in the catalog whether Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner – or was it Max Pechstein? – “had sex” with a black woman before or after he painted her?
