The Miseducation of the Negro - Political Education Neglected

[get these nets]

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Politics in that era aren’t the politics of today. Not even close

[Black Hans]

Not long ago a measure was introduced in a certain State Legislature to have the Constitution of
the United States thus printed in school histories, but when the bill was about to pass it was
killed by someone who made the point that it would never do to have Negroes study the
Constitution of the United States. If the Negroes were granted the opportunity to peruse this
document, they might learn to contend for the rights therein guaranteed; and no Negro teacher
who gives attention to such matters of the government is tolerated in those backward districts.
The teaching of government or the lack of such instruction, then, must be made to conform to the
policy of "keeping the Negro in his place."

A legislator blatantly defrauding American citizens on their rights?

Sounds like a lawsuit. One of the reparations variety . Please focus on these type of incidents that occurred in the 20th Century instead of chattel slavery. They're far more credible than asswhoopings in the 19th.

Banned from the libraries? Or banned from private vendors?

Banned from the libraries? Or banned from private vendors?

Both.

 

[Chimses]

Both.

Is there a thread for this?

I been playing on buying books that I feared will be banned. I have some picture books from black authors from childhood. Some Richard Wright, Toni Morrison , and August Wilson. I fear I am still lacking.

What books do you think will be banned?

 

[Wild self]

What books do you think will be banned?

anything that is remotely educational that empowers black folk, will be banned or heavily edited

Very interesting that the most quoted pasage from the book is in the chapter about political education.

If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do

Ain’t no books being banned. Stop it.

I gotta read this again. What he said is still relevant today.
