..... So why are we not taught these things? again, not racism but poor effort on teaching American history in general.
How about poor retention years after leaving school? How many people could you stop on the street randomly who remember what they learned in high school about biology or calculus?
How about we say your reply was a sorry excuse of a defense of racism?
I dont believe he was defending racism. He's just pointing out something that is true, i cant remember much of what I learned in 5th grade about any of those people in the history book unless I go back and read about it later in life. As I said here in the US, learning history is NOT a major focus as compared to the rest of the world. Why is it that when someone brings up a different view point you have to see it as opposing yours? Two things can be true at the same time. This is what I mean by seeing racism every where and in everything. I never said racism does not exist.
