Battle for equality: School board cancels Black history courses, ignites outrage

[White 6]

The waters have been muddied by the insertion of generational blame. Too many of such subjects aim to reignite the antipathy and crusade for revenge. Too many lay blame on all descendants of white heritage regardless of whether they descended from slave owners as if that was also some kind of crime. Too many are taught not for the value of the lesson but with the idea of translating the info into fodder for current day violence and retribution. THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES.

I cannot argue against you there. Out here in the hinterland of America, we simply do not know that to be the case, for certain, without hearing the lesson plans and application, specific to the courses. But, there is certainly a high potential to be just as you warn. For those not in the class (such as parents) and of course, the rest of us, not taking the time or having the access to read or talk with students, it is actually an unknown, but at the very least, the potential is there for programming, damaging to society. Either way, the subject is an important one, and can be taught with an even hand, if that is the intent and there is self-discipline. We just do not know. I figure they will work it out. I took a course "Black American Writers" and was one of only 4 white students in the first class offered at Lone Oak, when I was a Junior. It was taught evenly and with no BS, simply as an author, message, and concept familiarization class. So, I know it can be done, but do not know it to be the case in St Louis.

Sadly, I have found bigots are still among us

To claim…..We are not like that anymore
Is false

That cannot be a marker. Removing bigots from society completely is not possible no matter what skin color they may come in.

I think we have to ask WHY the push among the Left for Black History courses? Is it merely to provide students with more full knowledge? if so, there are MANY areas in which students are lacking and could gain from a dedicated course.

Thus, given from whom the push is coming and the willingness to prioritize black history knowledge over other very-needed topics, I posit that it is:

1) to get young adults to look with disdain upon the country in an effort to “transform” it into the Marxist-style socialism

2) to promote continuing hostility toward whites, such as weve seen from IM2, in order to keep priority hiring and promotions for blacks

3) to push for reparations

You don't want Black History taught for the simple fact it will show just how evil America is when it comes to black folks. You want to keep that History hidden.

Thus, given from whom the push is coming and the willingness to prioritize black history knowledge over other very-needed topics, I posit that it is:

1) to get young adults to look with disdain upon the country in an effort to “transform” it into the Marxist-style socialism

Again you don't want the evil of America to be shown, that's what you are afraid of. For young white kids to see the cruel and inhumane treatment of black folks.

2) to promote continuing hostility toward whites, such as weve seen from IM2, in order to keep priority hiring and promotions for blacks

That doesn't even make any sense, what hostility? You wonder why folks call you a racist, you have a mindset that white skin automatically makes you more intelligent and qualified than any black person in this country.

3) to push for reparations

Slaveowners have rec'd reparations.
Native Americans have rec'd reparations.
Asian Americans have rec'd reparations.
Jews have rec'd reparations.
Black folks have been done the greatest harm of anyone in the history of this country, why are you so against black folks receiving restitution for the injustices we have endured in this country.

^^^ Now, here is proof of what I just said above:

1) how the anti-American leftists want to teach how “evil” America and get kids to hate the country.

2) that its all about getting whites to fork over reparations

Superbadbro is so stupid that he doesn’t realize he just proved my points as to why the Left wants to have dedicated courses on black history. At this rate, our high school grads won’t be able to read or write above a fifth grade level, but they’ll sure know what an evil country we have and how ****** owes blacks big money.

Whitewashing history is not how children learn

They need to learn the good with the bad.

 

[protectionist]

Name some of those programs, don't talk about it be about it.

That sounds like bullshit, that whole group is minorities.

The plot thickens.

Nobody is buying that a racist like you had a black friend in 1957.

1, College admissions
2, College financial aid
3. Job hiring
4. Job promotions
5. Business loans

It sounds like bullshit to YOU, because you just dont know any better.

I've had black friends all my life, I had a black roommate when I was in college, and I have MANY black friends & neighbors, right now. I live in a building which is 70% black residents.
You are a know-nothing fool.

Bad meaning 59 years of Affirmative Action discrimination against whites & Asians ? That "bad" ?

Affirmative Action has been a major success in this country
Women, Blacks, Hispanics have been serving in occupations and in management levels that were unimaginable 59 years ago.

Every American family has benefitted from AA in some manner

Even if you are a white male, your wife or daughters will benefit from being eligible for occupations they couldn’t have dreamed about 59 years ago

 

[Mr. Friscus]

I think people like you are the reason we still need to teach Black History

People like you who lie and say we don’t teach any black history are the problem.

Just because we don’t teach racist CRT history doesn’t mean we don’t teach history that includes all races

 

[rightwinger]

Nobody actually teaches CRT at HS or below.

It is just Conservative Fear Mongering
They use it to ban Black Studies

You are brainwashed.
Millions of whites' & Asians' lives have have BEEN WRECKED (including mine) from AA. I still suffer the ramifications of it, even now at age 77, and collecting Social Security, which is immensely reduced, due to the decades of reduced incomes I had, because of Affirmative Action, which completely took away my entire life's career.

Oh, it was unimaginable all right. Who would have ever imagined that in a huge VA hospital operation, with 16,000 employees, you could walk the long hallways day in and day out, seeing thousands of employees, and rarely if ever see a white person ?

Don't believe it ? Go look. See for yourself.

As for "wife & daughters", for every 1 of them benefitting from AA, ther are 1,000 who are harmed by it , simply by being the dependent wife or daughter of a white man being discriminated against.

Lastly, Affirmative Action programs are often skewed to favor blacks over EVERYONE else. In the graduate school that denied me an assistantship (all of them given to blacks), Hispanics (including me) and Asians were also denied, as well as 7 non-black women.

Affirmative Action is one of the worst vile, ABOMINATIONS in US history, ranking side by side with Jim Crow laws.

Since I started working in the mid 70s, I saw affirmative action progress.
Initially, it put people into jobs that they were unprepared for.
Some succeeded but many failed.

By the 90s, minorities and women were better prepared for the positions. They had more applicable degrees, better OJT, more access to internships that helped them prepare for higher positions.

Today, nobody even notices

Now you are just lying
Keep pushing the CRT myths and fear mongering

Looks like you are blaming Affirmative Action for your career failures.
I failed because blacks took my jobs

I suspect you failed because you suck

Interesting how all your words are about the beneficiaries of AA, and not one word about the VICTIMS.

Oh, we notice all right, We "notice" that 99% of employees at th VA hospital are non-white. Same with numerous other government offices.

It WAS NOT my failure, I was told I was in the top 5 of my grad school class of 33 students.The blame goes to the racist pig liberals who enacted this racist AA program at my university (and 1000s of others like it)

You are in denial that you are RACIST, and complicit with these racists. You are just like all the other libs who think it is perfectly OK to racially discriminate, as long as blacks are the beneficiaries, and whites are the victims.

As for what you said about "sucks", I have a music youtube channel, and an online art gallery of 43 paintings that you could not equal, if your imcompetent life depended on it.
