Are you seriously trying to use the very small numbers of Black people who listened to that grifter as a means of attacking Black Americans? You make your statements like Black Americans voted for this in mass, when my people did the opposite. Why do I not see you have this same sort of smoke for Hispanics who voted for him at a far higher rate than Black Americans did. Why did you take this instance of Trump being the facist he is and other White people going along with it, as your means of attacking Black Americans as a whole for the actions of the very few that follow Tariq?

Obviously black people didn't put Trump into office, but the white and hispanic people who voted for Trump aren't on the coli to criticize.

Even so there were a lot of people on here (and in the community) promoting that "Trump isn't that bad, both sides are the same" BS and I'm sure it helped Trump to some extent. Not to mention they were extremely annoying during election season. I'm not sure why you'd take a criticism of them as a criticism of all of black America.

You should be teaching your own kids history

Im not sure why people expect the dominant society teach yalls kids about their long history of degeneracy

Over your head, you aren't getting it. Nobody is expecting to be taught anything, the fact that they're trying to rewrite history right in front of your fukking face should be alarming.

It should be obvious if you're not a CAC

Are you intentionally missing the problem? The problem is that the dominant society is trying to erase all avenues of our future children being able to know the truth. While we should teach our own history and even maintain archives of it for ourselves, we also should not be wave handing the actions of the dominant society attempts to erase what its own history is. We can do both, they are not mutually exclusive to each other.

So while I agree we need to protect our own history, we also should not be ok with the US trying to erase and rewrite history.

shrug your shoulders and happily embrace your kids growing up in two different realities. Learning one thing at home then learning something completely different in school about their identity. A reality where their teachers and their peers will easily mistreat them as if slavery never even existed.

shrug your shoulders with no problem as your kids grow up in a world where society at large grows up learning myths instead of what really happened during slavery. The fact that people will vote and make decisions based on those myths. That shapes policy, justice systems, funding, and representation in ways that reinforce inequality.

yall bothsiders really never take time to think things thru. There's no positive in just shrugging your shoulders and saying "you should just teach them at home anwyays"

Explain how not giving a damn that society at large goes down the route of whitewashing and revising history will be positive for any black children?
I really don't understand your mindset

You're in here HOPING and WISHING that the dominant society teaches your kids correctly when they didn't even teach YOU correctly

I've NEVER seen a public school history mention the long history of black male r@pe and black male castration that exists in America but you're still HOPING that they'll teach your kids

If you can't teach your kids how to move in different situations then you should not have kids

Yall sound wild in here. Best believe that white people are giving their kids WHOLE HISTORY COURSES at home, outside of public school. Yet a lot of black people seem too lazy or scared to do the same

I wish black people would stop hoping and wishing that white people would teach their children because Black parents are too lazy to do so. THATS juvenile and extremely naive

Here's a newsflash: every single history book that youve ever had to read in any US public school has many many lies in it. That shyt didn't just start in the past 10 years

They taught that MLK Jr preached "nonviolence" and integration. They conveniently left out that his team stayed strapped AND MLK thought integration was a mistake later in life. They also don't teach that the US government was found guilty in conspiring to have him murdered.

Stop being lazy and teach your kids


Again, completely and utterly juvenile.

Atrocities throughout history are not committed by the victims who knew their history, they are done by the perpetrators who did now know their history.

They rewrote history centuries ago. You don't know that because YOU don't know your own history

We can ban bet if you want

This statement doesn't make any sense

Maybe you should gather your thoughts and try again

If you feel that way then that's on you. You're already taking whatever they want to give because no one on this forum can stop what they're doing right now

I've been saving and storing documents and documentaries for well over a decade now

Yay you. This aint about just you. Seems to be the problem now. yeah, you are doing that and thats great. The point that seems to be going way over your head is this is about the masses of us Black people.

As a majority, people get their info from the internet or from books. So they are wiping this stuff out so the mass of our generations cant get the info of our past. So unless you are gonna start sharing your stockpile of documents and doucmentaries with the world for future generations to know, thats useless info for the overall point.

And to further the point, do you believe every documentary that you see? Well, thats the feeling they want to create for our future generations. They want to create reasonable doubt that we ever did anything.

re-read my post because you didn't get it. your children learning one truth at home while the society at large learns a completely different version is not a good world for your kids to grow up in. you really haven't thought this all the way through
