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

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?

Do her grandchildren have to pass for white in order to prosper in the 21st century?

I learned all about the Civil War in school. What started it, who passed the Emancipation Proclamation, what color the participants were and the effects of it's culmination. There is nothing racist about teaching the truth.
I also learned who established libraries in our country. Who invented the light bulb. Who cultivated peanuts.
Who created the assembly line. Who put a car in every garage. Who created the airplane. Who cured polio....

What I didn't hear was, "This white man created the light bulb. This white man built cars. These white men flew a plane. Aren't whites great?"

Stop trying to rewrite history. Stop trying to punish whites for being creative. Stop trying to cancel the truth...
 
Not a disregard for human life. You do understand that with rare exceptions blacks were regarded as a subset of humanity, Homosapian Africanus.
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.
At the time, it was the opinion of the great majority. That's why they could have this disregard for human life.
 
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.
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.
You just made a case for the point I made
 
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?
Ahhh. So she did nothing to deserve a place in the history books. She invented nothing, won no battles, executed no act of selfless bravery. She was clever with real estate.
 
Were there black contributors to history? Yes. They just didn't contribute very much.
How do you know?

How many modern day civilizations were created by a black based country vs modern civilizations that exist by other ethnicities across the entire world?

How many black people have created on their own corporations vs others across the entire world?

How many of mankind's keystone to evolution as a species were created by blacks vs others? Blacks don't care about advancing so that's why they don't do much to create a means to improve the world and instead sit in mostly 3rd world countries, or 3rd rate neighborhoods in other people countries.

The world's history shows us that while they do do some important things and have made some advances but overall have done little across the world compared to Asians and and white people, or even the Greeks.

It's no secret they aren't as ambitious as everyone else and it's been shown as such since mankind started recording it's history. But few care about facts and history, only what supports their feelings. Like everyone blames whitey for enslaving blacky, but no one stopped to think "who sold the blacks into slavery?" Oh that's right, it was other blacks but that doesn't fit the narrative of whitey is bad. Just like no one wants to admit the number one killer of blacks is other blacks. People only see what they want to see.

You seem more concerned of protecting whitey from scrutiny and less concerned with facing the reality and effects of what slavery did to a large majority of the black race. Thats too bad
 

"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?
The teaching of history is a powerful tool in the armoury of the right and any sort of revisionism is obviously communism.

This is reinforced by bonehead pop culture. Films like The Alamo promote the image of freedom loving Texans fighting evil Santana.The reality was somewhat different. Mexico had abolished slavery by this time and it was one of the bones of contention.

Its the same bollox about the War of Independence. Whitewashed bullshit.

You want to change reality to give blacks an unearned and undeserved place in history.

Today blacks need slavery. They rely on it. Slavery is the very foundation of what they are. Without that history of slavery, there is no excuse for their violent criminality. Without slavery there is no excuse for a lack of achievement. Without the benefit of slavery blacks are just like everyone else. They certainly don't want that.

Mexico did abolish slavery and this part of history is also true.....


"Steven F. Austin incentivized slavery by making additional land available for each enslaved person that was brought into Texas. Mexico imposed several measures to end or limit slavery, and the Anglo-American colonists skillfully found ways to amend, delay, or defy them."


 
You compare revere and ross to a rich woman?
He didn't compare them, numbnuts. But i see you managed to reach like Stretch Armstrong to find something to vomit your white grievances on.

By fashioning minor achievements by blacks into major contributions.

Surely, you can see how critical race theory has morphed into communist shit, right?

And enough of this shit about who called the war what. It definitely was a war for independence of some states from the union, right? Do you know what the Confederates called Gettysburg? Manassas Junction. Do you know what the Japanese call the Pearl Harbor Attack? Operation Hawaii.

You could be a top notch poster if you would ditch the "racism" bit and quit acting like Conspiracy Brother.

Refute it......

Why wouldn't one of the richest women in the country not be taught about -- she was definitely more wealthy than Betsy Ross....and she was definitely an abolitionist....

Thought you conservatives liked abolitionists...especially self made wealthy abolitionists

Guess not......wrong color

and the holocaust was simply about Germany's quest to be independent from Jews.....even if they had to exterminate a few million of them......

Why can't we appreciate Germany's struggle for independence....

That is how goofy you racist revisionists sound
