spot on. This isn't new tho. This has long been one of the tactics of systemic oppression. They INTENTIONALLY hide, bury and manipulate events of the past. This is why alot of us are currently ignorant to alot of things. This is why alot of us dont even know about Black WallStreet. This is why we currently celebrate things like Thanksgiving and July 4th. Those are white supremacists holidays "romanticized". This is why its up to US to pass down the knowledge. We cant expect them to. This country was not built with the betterment of blacks in mind. This is the white man's land. They're gonna teach us ONLY WHAT THEY WANT US TO KNOW. The day that we collectively wake up and learn who our true enemy is will be the day that America is no longer "america". They know this. I feel a shift in our consciousness happening these past few years tho. We are slowly starting to awake.But they don't hate us, This is why we need to gain control they are literally playing god with history. They want to erase the hate by making the next generations believe it wasn't there. While we teeter at the bottom of the social hierarchy they continue to make underhanded moves like this influencing the youth with bullshyt information that they also make a requirement in order to advance a education which is also becoming more of a requirement to qualify for any decent paying jobs. They play a dirty game and like to put on the face of naivety sneaky ass devils.
We had a section on black inventors and musicians and activists during the early 1990's in out textbooksYou should be offended that all they want to do is portray you as a fukking slave. Instead your begging to be a slave. How many of you know the wars the black americans have fought in your country? Why aren't your history books filled with this for you children?
Instead you want to be a slave. News for you, you weren't the only slaves in America. Many whites came to america AS SLAVES, not to mention the slaves that were taken from the Land.
Right alongside a section on race "riots" and other discrimination and talk about slavery along with important black figures during those times and we read books about it like Beloved
Why does it have to be one thing or the other/

beautiful avi
It's still a textbook... one would hope that a book used specifically to teach children wouldn't refer to slaves as "workers"
Like what the fukk
who is that??
The truth should be in these books, so if you want to call it begging to be a slave then so be it. It's what happened and the kids should know it. Whitewashing should never exist in educational reference books.
Depends how you use it. Systematic white supremacy pissing them off times 10. When most ppl use the word, they are talking about the KKK, not the actual systematic meaning. They hate SWS the most because it's undeniable.

Just saying. The study of Geography doesn't dive that deep into the politics of human behavior. They used generic term "immigrant" meaning these ppl are from here, but now they live there.
They were not immigrants at the time and they were not brought to the country as immigrants, nor were they ever intended to even receive basic human rights. Stop the bullshyt breh.

crackas aint shyt......period.
. You can't make this shyt up.Everybody knows the roots of thanksgiving but they don't care because they get to eat and take the mentality that it's been changed into something new, that's like saying people still celebrate Columbus day and what type of education could stop people from celebrating the 4th of July?
People don't know about Black Wallstreet I'll give you that (well most people but I know of some school districts where it's taught in the curriculum and my Soc teacher had us do something on that or a umber of other racial events) but slavery and the results of it and important black figures at least in California around where I'm from is actively taught in the curriculum.
The problem with the way black history isn't that it's not taught imo it's that the effects of these things aren't properly linked to modern day america nor are things like the Reagan era emphasized enough in importance or even reached because of the length of the school year, this is an issue imo because these things can be taught to kids in a quick one period session or at least they can be made to know about it.
This and more why I did an argumentative essay in my senior year as to why a Sociology class should be mandatory for all students to take/the way history is taught be slightly re-worked, I think i've mentioned this last part on here before.
For one, I don't believe that's the case. I mean, you're making a blanket statement about 'other nations' like it's true so I can't really answer that.
We're talking about this country though, the USA. Slavery was an essential part of the development of the nation, it should be in the history books as such.
Now, you want to explain why 'no other nation who has been enslaved prior to teaches slavery to their people' then go ahead. Put some nations out there that hasn't done what you're purposing.
