No surprise you support the kkk/deadspin. Gotta keep em separated.
every black person that isn't radical a Gumbo/Sambo to you? God forbid they have thoughts of their own.
With Sage's recent appearance on "The View", a person is a Gumbo/Sambo when it comes to learning about history where they rather protect the feelings of white kids than the feelings of black kids whose ancestors have gone through the horrible events.
Everything seems to be a black and white issue. It’s us against them, sad to see.
I'm not the one trying to remove books about Rosa Parks and MLK from school libraries. That is sad to see. I did not know Rosa Parks made white kids have nightmares.
Newsflash: the kids in school today were not alive during the era of Jim Crow, back of the bus etc. Why does anyone have to feel bad about a situation they did not create? Why not teach kids to be accepting of and respectful to all and strive for equality of opportunity?
It's called learning history. We learned about Rosa Parks and MLK when we were kids. Nobody black or white, felt bad. I'm not talking about showing a 7 year old child a picture of a castrated black man hanging from a tree.
In too many cases it is called laying a massive guilt trip on white kids. These kids weren't there. What should actually be learned from racial history? That you treat everyone with dignity and respect and strive for equality of opportunity.
It is foolish to white wash history, black history or otherwise. Black history is part of US history, good and the bad. Schools need to teach the bad like slavery and Jim Crow. Schools also need to teach the good part of black history like the black inventors like Benjamin Banneker, Garrett Morgan, Madam C.J. Walker among several others.
Would you include what the Civil War and what it abolished, the 15 amendment, the blizzard of social legislation starting in the mid 60's? Would you then teach what we need to do going forward as I stated above?
Civil War and 15th amendment, oh yeah. That is what is currently taught. We all learned that years ago. About going forward, yeah that should be discussed in social studies classes if they still have those in middle school an high school.
Didn't Biden say "If you don't vote Democrat you're a Gumbo/Sambo?"
Hope you’re not basing this statement because she is bi-racial and like Harris Faulkner is married to a white man?
They do. Would you teach that tremendous progress has been made from a horrible start? What would you teach needs to be done going forward? Education after all is supposed to be about the future.
Man, I told y'all before I don't care who people are married to. I did not know who Sage was married to. Did not know she was married. Again, don't care. However, it is odd that a lot these Gumbo/Sambos are married to white women or men.
Lincoln was a racist like anyone else in those days. The so-called Emancipation Proclamation did NOT free any slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation was just a mere military document that just ALLOWED slaves in the confederate states to join the Union army. They needed the additional numbers to help win the war. The slaves in the Northern states remained slaves. On the other hand Ulysses Grant was awesome. After the war, when he was president, the reconstruction era, 7 years after the Civil War began, was arguably the best years in black history. Blacks was able to vote freely, blacks ran and held public offices, held state and US government positions and even appointed to the US Senate. Grant sent Union troops to the south to ensure all of this. Hayes, the next president and republican by the way, reversed what Grant did. Reconstructed ended, Jim Crow began. The KKK rose up and all hell broke loose for blacks until the 1960's.
If it is history I'll teach it all. From the first blacks in American in 1619 to the current. If it is a sociology or social studies class, yes discuss what can done to move forward. Howver, students need to know what they are moving forward from. You can't just white wash the horrible things the country has done to blacks, native americans, the Japanese and even themselves. Look how they bad treated each European ethnic group when they came to this country in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
The KKK was in place before and threatened the lives of Grant and other Republicans. The KKK consisted of Democrats by the way
Yes, that's why Grant sent the Union troops to the south. Then the next president removed the troops and the KKK were able reign their terror freely.The KKK was in place before and threatened the lives of Grant and other Republicans. The KKK consisted of Democrats by the way

At the time of Ulysses S. Grant's election to the presidency, white supremacists were conducting a reign of terror throughout the South.www.pbs.org
And yet he did more to improve the QoL of African Americans than any president since.
Maybe it’s because this fact gets lost in the push to revise our history by the leftists that permeate today’s education system
There was no America in 1619. It took another 160 years. What is most important to teach is what we do from here? Given the increasing diversity of the U.S. the ONLY way to move forward is to advocate for universal respect and equal opportunity for all. There is no other way this country survives. 1619 won't matter.
Should we be teaching white kids that 53% of violent crime is caused by blacks which only represent 13% of the population?
When will you quit using what happened 100 years ago for the failures in the black community today?
Right on que. You arrive.
I agree with your last paragraph. Had a friend who worked at Ford as an engineer who came to the US from Nigeria who happened to be a prince from a tribe. Highly educated who wasn’t burdened with the US slave history. Last I talked to him he was thinking about returning to Nigeria to start a business and become more involved with his tribe
No, @BNIBoiler demands conformity from blacks!! If you’re black, you have to vote Democrat, keep yourself down and reliant on government…
He says Harris Faulkner PERPETUATES WHITE SUPREMACY and when he was asked for proof of this, he made excuses about not having time and then disappeared. Isn’t that right @BNIBoiler ? Your dumb ass has no proof!!
For one thing, most black conservatives aren't Gumbo/Sambos. I really like Michael Steele and the late Colin Powell. Alan Keyes wasn't bad. J.C. Watts wasn't bad. Any old school conservative/Republican were decent people at one time for that matter. Other than them I can't think of any other black conservative I can support. Tim Scott was ok until he became a Chumper.
So, when was the last time a black was lynched.?
The last lynching that made national news was George Floyd.
