Half of American adults can't name a single Holocaust concentration camp.

[blockburna420]

I mean shyt, Auschwitz is better than nothing.

And my bad if it came off like I was talking about you directly I’m not. I’m just pointing out that our schools have increasingly shifted towards us not being educated in anything other than things most useful to the capitalist class.

Depends on the community , in my high school district the focus was on art , business and technology . If you choose to pursue higher education you choose what to be educated in.

Then we agree to disagree. Knowing the whole world around you is extremely important. Africa and the Black world should be the first order of business, but after that you should be versed in Asian, Mesoamerican, really any and all history. Sure some might be more pertinent and some might be more niche but knowledge literally is power.

Take China for instance, if there was a more widespread understanding of how much Europeans fukked them over and nearly destroyed their civilization. Of course they’re moving like this now. Many cases where geopolitics affects us but not enough of us know why or are easily misled by the propaganda of other groups that would benefit from our support.

Most important of all we are all human beings breh. Understanding why white people have behaved like this isn’t a useless bit of info at all. They aren’t devils or monsters, they’re human beings. Giving them the status of monster or devil builds them up to be something other than a totally solvable problem.

Yes we are going to have to agree to disagree. You framed knowing white history as a barometer of intelligence on a black website.

Yeah, every county/state is different. A lot of schools were viciously affected by W Bush and the No Child Left Behind act. It’s done a number on these kids. Education has narrowed into an extractive, transactional thing as opposed to a mission to inculcate future generations with the necessary tools to create a better society by knowing what not to do and what actually works.

This thread is about Americans not knowing the names of concentration camps, but somehow it has turn into dudes going on a tangent about black folks not knowing and giving a fawk about the holocaust altogether What in the entire fawk!!

No I didn’t, but feel free to put words in my mouth. In the meanwhile I’ll write it out in bullet points:

1. You should begin with Black history as your foundation to know where you stand in this world and know what you come from.

2. From there, learn about other groups of people that have also been oppressed in order to gain a better understanding of the tools used to oppress people.

3. Demystify white people by learning about them. Learn what they came from and why they became what they became. As I said, due to what they’ve done we give them the status of monsters or devils when they’re really weak ass people that needed to do all of these horrible things to feel like they count in this world and they STILL need to do it to this day.

The biggest scam going is so called “white supremacy”, a supreme being wouldn’t need to do the things these cacs do. This is neuroticism this is mental illness through flaws in the design of their culture, and it’s on us to understand it so we can combat it. Why yall think Brother Malcolm was so scary to these cacs? He knew all of their dirt and could throw it at them in such a way that they couldn’t say shyt to him. That’s why he could talk so much shyt to their faces cuz when you peel the layers back they’re weak ass bullies.

Sorry if that’s a lot of words but I hope I came across clearer for you.

I'm just going by your original post. You said Americans can't name a concentration camp.....lowest intelligence. What am i supposed to infer from that??

I'm not demystified by white people. Not in the slightest. They're evil. They from miserable cold places and they worship war and money.

Doubt Malcolm have 2 fukks about the Jewish holocaust that happen half way across the world when black America been in a holocaust for 400 years

 

[Mister Terrific]

I’ve read dozens of books on WW2 and I came name 4 off top. Breslau, Bergen-Belsin, Dachau and Auschwitz.

Wouldn’t expect most people to know more than Auschwitz.

 

[3rdWorld]

Why should they be???

No, OP said Americans can’t name a concentration camp. I agreed that not knowing enough history isn’t a good thing.

What does “I’m not demystified by white people”? You mean “White people aren’t mystifying to you. Do you have an understanding as to how or why they are how they are aside from “it was cold” and “they worship war and money”? Many societies were incredibly violent and worshipped bullshyt gods dedicated to war. And yet, these cacs exceeded them all. How? Why? Using that knowledge how do we neutralize this threat not just within white people but ensure no other human goes down that path?

Oh, and Malcolm knew enough to know about the Holocaust. He knew quite a lot about Jewish people actually which is why he was also able to be ahead of his time and call out Zionism for the barbarity that it is. Because it’s a barbarity that touches us too. And acting as if nothing is gained from having knowledge on the world and its people is backwards hustling. I literally work within the conscious community and I see everyday how ONLY focusing on all things Black creates blind spots that end up being filled with bullshyt.

But again, we can agree to disagree breh no judgment I just think it’s wise to know thy enemy.

Umm hmmm

[Oatmeal]

90% of American adults can't name a plantation.
I'm more concerned with that tbh.

The people that can name them probably only know them as venue spaces for parties/gatherings or weddings and gloss over the PLANTATION aspect or don't care
