Haven't Textbooks Taught Critical Race Theory For Decades??

[TNHarley]

And if you are wondering who Mary Ellen Pleasant was.....she was one of the richest people in the state of California during the mid 1800's -- but she had to "pass for white"for awhile to go about building her wealth...but I am sure many white folks also had to "pass for white" at that time too..right?

You compare revere and ross to a rich woman? LOL its like you cultists just HAVE to create racial strife for no fucking reason. Its pathetic.

 

[TNHarley]

A rich black woman is just as important as the chick that made our flag.
Thats the low standards biff has for blacks. Its quite racist, if you ask me.

I see you had to go back over 100 yrs to make your point,, got anything current??

Current? Well, there's this guy. Oh, wait...

Oh, bless your heart....you think this is a "Democrat vs Republican" thing??


You are really out of depth on this one...go back to whining about goofy shit on someone else's post......

I just like to remind you once in a while that you're still enthusiastically supporting the guy in the Klan robe. Cheers!

I live in Texas...

Care to tell me how I support this person??

Like I said....you are out of your depth...go wade back to the kiddie pool where you belong...

You support him by not calling for his removal, and happily accepting the fact that your party is still full of racists, because you WANT it that way. Now go say hi to Klanny McBlackface there, and make sure you stay quiet about it.

This is not new,” Jelani Cobb told The Root. “One of the most under-discussed topics in education is the role slavery plays in the early history of the country.”

Slavery is not "under-discussed," it is difficult for children to understand economics.

It is most Black people who do not understand it. Slavery is incredibly inefficient. Whereas Black people believe it is free labor. Black people do not understand that the slavers cannot neglect and beat every slave to death.

So you are saying that we should teach kids that slaves were like tractors...and what slave owner would mis-use their tractor right??

Except....tractors can't talk, let alone write and leave recordings......

Again..why is there this need to continue to try to beautify and rationalize slavery as some obscure exercise in economics?

Slaves weren't treated as tractors. They were livestock. Every slave represented a significant financial investment. They had breeding programs the results are visible today. Mike Tyson and LeBron James didn't happen by accident. Bloodlines were carefully recorded just as the bloodlines of horses or cattle are recorded. People who mistreated slaves were as badly thought of as people who would beat a horse or let cattle sicken.

Is this morally wrong? Certainly. Slavery can only be the subject of moral outrage. There is no other.

Failure to understand slavery as an exercise in economics is a failure to understand slavery at all.

"While they [conservatives] generally oppose Critical Race Theory, the academic movement started by Black scholars, they have historically embraced the uncapitalized version of race theory -- but because so many see whiteness as a default, they don’t understand that their entire education has already been racialized. The fact that most people know about Betsy Ross’ amazing ability to sew or Paul Revere’s talent for riding and yelling, but have never heard of Mary Ellen Pleasant or Colonel Tye is proof that the American education system is filtered through the lens of whiteness.

For centuries, this country’s schools have perpetuated a whitewashed version of history that either erases or reduces the story of Black America [and others] down to a B-plot in the American script - because the white-centric interpretation of our national past is so commonly accepted, most white people have convinced themselves that anything that varies from the Caucasian interpretation must be a lie."

Now, what was interesting was that this article went on to research the history books of GOP Senators who are so triggered by CRT -- to see why they are so fixated on teaching the version of history they were taught.....like Senator Marsha Blackburn who was taught using history books collated by United Daughters Of The Confederacy...hmmm....in it they learned that the Brown vs Board decision was a travesty and that slaves may have been human chattel, but they were mostly treated like family.....hmmmm.....no wonder accurate tellings of history would trigger her so much...she was raised to believe a whole lie....

How about Senator Cotton from Arkansas.....his high school textbook from 1995 taught about slavery in a very similar way that Marsha learned decades ago...it even referred to the Civil War, not as the Civil War -- but the war for Southern Independence...Again, this was 1995.....it also made sure that students didn't feel that "War of Independence" was over slavery..I repeat...this was 1995....so no wonder Cotton is triggered by accurate tellings of history...and no wonder he dog whistles to Neo-Confederates so much....


So for all the hand wringing we see over "Critical Race Theory" -- truth is; a certain purposely incomplete and flawed version of race theory has been taught in this country for generations....And one should ask themselves, why this need to rewrite a history that is easily debunked and proven false with just a minor bit of research?? Would you feel that same way if our textbooks began to see the "good side" of the Nazi Holocaust....would you be lecturing holocaust survivors and their descendants about how it wasn't really that many Jews exterminated and how some Jews in concentration camps were treated like family?? Or is it still too soon to try to rewrite that history?

Betsy Ross seldom got mentioned more than in passing in my textbooks, and Paul Rever maybe got a whole two paragraphs. American history is largely the history of warfare, and with blacks not really serving for much of it, they just are not relevant to the military-industrial indoctrination. It isn't racism per se. It is just what the tribe chooses to focus upon.

Slavery was/is much more than an exercise of economics... it’s an infathomable disregard for human life, a near psychotic use of power and from a civics and sociological perspective it is a practice that shaped the building of our country and culture for generations

Not a disregard for human life. You do understand that with rare exceptions blacks were regarded as a subset of humanity, Homosapian Africanus. Notable exceptions were Stonewall Jackson. He and his wife saw Black deficiencies as a failure of education. They operated the first school for black children. Thomas Jefferson was another. His best friend was a black brother in law. Jefferson put James Hemings through culinary school in Paris.

And if you are wondering who Mary Ellen Pleasant was.....she was one of the richest people in the state of California during the mid 1800's -- but she had to "pass for white"for awhile to go about building her wealth...but I am sure many white folks also had to "pass for white" at that time too..right?

I see you had to go back over 100 yrs to make your point,, got anything current??

Current? Well, there's this guy. Oh, wait...

If you are too big a sissy to handle the topic, don't open the thread.

Only by ignorant, racist people, before we had the benefit of modern science. Nowadays, one would have to be a lobotomized retard to think that has any validity. Or a USMB white winger like you, apparently. But now i am being redundant.

Now, what was interesting was that this article went on to research the history books of GOP Senators who are so triggered by CRT -- to see why they are so fixated on teaching the version of history they were taught.....like Senator Marsha Blackburn who was taught using history books collated by United Daughters Of The Confederacy...hmmm....in it they learned that the Brown vs Board decision was a travesty and that slaves may have been human chattel, but they were mostly treated like family.....hmmmm.....no wonder accurate tellings of history would trigger her so much...she was raised to believe a whole lie....

How about Senator Cotton from Arkansas.....his high school textbook from 1995 taught about slavery in a very similar way that Marsha learned decades ago...it even referred to the Civil War, not as the Civil War -- but the war for Southern Independence...Again, this was 1995.....it also made sure that students didn't feel that "War of Independence" was over slavery..I repeat...this was 1995....so no wonder Cotton is triggered by accurate tellings of history...and no wonder he dog whistles to Neo-Confederates so much....


So for all the hand wringing we see over "Critical Race Theory" -- truth is; a certain purposely incomplete and flawed version of race theory has been taught in this country for generations....And one should ask themselves, why this need to rewrite a history that is easily debunked and proven false with just a minor bit of research?? Would you feel that same way if our textbooks began to see the "good side" of the Nazi Holocaust....would you be lecturing holocaust survivors and their descendants about how it wasn't really that many Jews exterminated and how some Jews in concentration camps were treated like family?? Or is it still too soon to try to rewrite that history?

Betsy Ross seldom got mentioned more than in passing in my textbooks, and Paul Rever maybe got a whole two paragraphs. American history is largely the history of warfare, and with blacks not really serving for much of it, they just are not relevant to the military-industrial indoctrination. It isn't racism per se. It is just what the tribe chooses to focus upon.

What tribe??

and if it is warfare that is taught -- why do you feel blacks were not involved in it??

Blacks fought on both sides of the Revolutionary War for example....maybe you are a victim of that same "myopic" race theory those history books have taught you....which is pretty much the point of my OP...

Thanks for playing....

How many were commanders worthy of making it into the history books? None. You're welcome for defeating you at your game, playah.

I am sorry was Paul Revere a commander??

We even learned more about Benedict Arnold and he was a traitor....

But somehow we haven't learned about Crispus Attucks or Peter Salem....the guy who took out the British Major at Bunker Hill...

But no...according to you -- only commanders are supposed to be taught about...which is almost as odd as your admission that "your tribe" tends to only teach about warfare.....

'
He commanded an artillery unit later but is credited as creating America's first spy network.

It it not surprising you did not know this since you choose to make up things posters have never claimed. I have not said a thing about what should be taught. I spoke about what is taught.
