Uh huh. You're not gonna try that slick shyt attempting to tell Black people how to think. Posters on the Coli somehow got you WAY too comfortable
I'm not telling you HOW to think.
I'm baffled that some of you never got the curiosity to think at all.

:picard:

Breh it was 80 years ago, brehs did not even have civil rights and black folks were still getting lynched and couldn't drink out of fountain.

The average person knows of the Holocaust,
Agreed
Anne Frank, Auschwitz

It actually is American history. American armies helped liberate many of these camps.
My goodness. A lot of this board really is uneducated.
A camp literally thousands of miles away from the United States is not American history. “Liberating” them can be a part of military history, but it’s not a major part of American history.

Since you want to play that game, how many Poles or Germans could name a Tuskegee Airmen or Buffalo Soldier? Or could even tell you who they are in general?

My goodness, a lot of this board just knows how stupid this thread and its premise (implied antisemtism) is. Try harder next time.

Yeah I don't really get this.
There's not a binary aspect to learning about history.

Nobody said you can't learn about black history AND world history.
It's honestly baffling to me that people are responding this way.

Meh history changes

This is why movies are kind of important I'm sure a boatload of people watchdd Oppenheimer then started reading more about ww2.

Just like when I was younger and watched Schindler's list

I didn't say you had to cry for them.
It's weird and sad that you wouldn't know basic history though.

A jew in Manhattan might not know the history of the Civil Rights movement but it would be really pathetic if he never heard of Malcolm X.
I know about the Holocaust, I know too much about the Holocaust, there's other camps like Belsen-Bergen and Daucau

They made us read Anne Frank's diary, watch Schindler's List all that poor jew bullshyt in school

I know, I just don't care or expect non-Blacks to care about ours

So WW2 wasn't American history?
The Tuskegee Airmen wasn't American history?

Last I checked those took place thousands of miles away from the United States.

The Tuskegee Airmen are also Jewish history, because they helped the US win the war which ended the Holocaust. So, how many Jews know who they are by names, how many there were, and their great records in defending American bombers during their bombing raids of Germany?

I'm not asking people to name commanders of the camps in Dachau.

But if someone said "What State were the Tuskegee Airmen located in?" and they couldn't say Alabama...that's an embarrassment.

USA didn't start bombing Germany till 1943

Most of the Holocaust camps were liberated by soviets

No, but you are asking them to know about something that they have no direct experience with. No family members who are attached to it at all. That being the case, the same can be asked about other issues surrounding the same time period too.

You want to shyt on Americans for not knowing the names of Concentration camps, but only in one circumstance are you concerned about it. There are conflicts that had concentration and internment camps all over up to and including the US. Most Americans don't know what the names are of those either, but yet you think the ones surrounding Jewish history are more important to learn? Using janky logic that it is American history, so should be known. Well that same logic can be used in reverse concerning knowledge of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Tbh this makes for a better thread. I wonder what percentage of the coli could name one?
Probably very few, though I would imagine that Monticello would be a common one to pop up given how much was written about Jefferson.

Ok, then would that not mean it is not US history, and more so Soviet history then? I am amazed that you did not use this information against him, when he was making the claim it is US history.

Yeah but I don't think that's even unreasonable.
Most of history doesn't have a DIRECT experience with others.
