Black History Month

[Snookie]

More Black history should be taught in our schools. Their sweat, brains, and labor helped make this country great.

That is true of every ethnic group. How about we simply focus on American history, of ALL Americans?

Why do you want to divide and separate like that?

To even out the evils that the white man bestowed upon them.

How long 'till you think we're even? When does this cease to be an excuse for perceived failures within the black community?

Well that will surely even things out... You go with that.

Blacks should be taught white history; give them something to strive for!

when they get white butlers.

There are many of all of those: black inventors, innovators, businessmen and women, as well as scholars, academics, artists, political leaders, etc. You don't know about them, presuming you paid attention in school, because they are not taught: hence the reason for black history month. You are a perfect example of how racism and ignorance go hand in hand.

To be fair we're all probably missing a lot in our history education.

We generally don't single out Italian-Americans, German-Americans, Irish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, etc when we talk about great people in history.

Perhaps that is the rub for some people on here. We only call out African-Americans in their perception.

And it is difficult to hide the utter distaste that comes up around white males in this country. But, to each his own...you find what you look for.

Italian, German, Irish and Jewish Americans (white males) are not left out of the history texts used in American public schools. Black Americans and female Americans usually [/B]are: hence Black History Month and women's studies courses in our universities. If you are a white male, you probably don't believe it. If you are black or a female of any color, you notice the lack of people who are either your color or gender as far as their inclusion in the history taught in our schools. People tend to think if they are not there, they had no part in the history of the country, until, upon researching the issue, they find, to their suprise, they had a great deal to do with the history of our country. Surprise, surprise. And, of course, one reason why blacks and woman may have had less participation in the professions is because they were either not allowed to join certain professions or they were not allowed in the universities that trained people for those professions: often it was both, until the late 1800s or even not until the 1900s.

I suppose if I was unemployed and needed a job to support my family, being a butler to a family would not be too bad. Hard work can pay off, but sometimes not immediately.

 

[rightwinger]

They should teach proper black history how the Republicn party fought for the rights of African Americans. We never learned that fact in school

I agree

Children need to be reminded how great the Republican Party used to be

We should be all squared up by 2065.

no matter how much the white man tries to help them, they will always be on the bottom.

What exactly have you ever done "to help them," hero?

As a business owner, I've hired a few. They spend more energy looking for ways to avoid work than they do working. They're lazy, unproductive, and have an attitude. Then, when you fire 'em, the first thing they do is threaten to sue for racial discrimination. I haven't met one yet that wasn't like that, and the ones on this forum are no different. Always bitching about the white man and how he keeps 'em down, when in reality, they keep themselves down.

didn't see them referring to a Texas text book.

seems it meant to include all text books then

it's up to you and Esmerelda to prove otherwise at this point,including Texas

PS the state I work in uses the same texts for all districts

also the same standards of learning. you should get a clue since you live in the state Dot Clueless
