But good neighborhoods like mine have a lot of minorities who aren't bad. There are plenty of blacks, hispanics, asians who I am friends with that live around me that wouldn't hurt anyone. Just good people. To me, the bad neighborhoods are just corrupted with bad parenting, drugs, and bad influences. Young kids growing up not knowing right from wrong. It's a trickle down effect from parents being in jail for doing drugs, etc. How ya doing, buddy?

Things leading to the cause of the first pilgrims leaving Europe to start a new colony in the Americas has EVERYTHING to do with American history. You have to start somewhere.
Even English colonization of Africa could be considered part of it, as a brief section, to explain how the slave trade arose. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. FGSFDS!!! |

I apologize. I didn't realize you couldn't count to two.
Black cultural development (in Africa) has nothing to do with American history. Civil Rights, the development of jazz music, etc...all that DOES. English colonization of Africa and them starting up the slave trade, and us shipping African slaves to America DOES. Go read my posts. I've clearly stated that if important to American HISTORY, then include it. Irish immigration - sure, talk a little about the potato famine. Slavery? Sure, talk about how the slave trade started up. Going in depth to how black culture arose in Africa is going way off course. However I've dealt with your immeasurable stupidity in the past, and I know that such a simple thing as actually reading someone's post in its entirety and getting the whole picture is an impossiblity for you. You just take one statement out of context and endlessly bitch about it. I'm not going to shit around with you, good night. I was speaking idiomatically. FGSFDS!!!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
You want to talk about HISTORY, the HISTORY that you know was written by white people about white people. How about the real American history? How much Native American history do you know? Mexican history? Don't make it sound like America was a vast wasteland before the pilgrims came and made it into what it was today. America was built on the backs of numerous minorities already living here, most that were killed or at best, taken advantage of and they are totally written out of history textbooks because it is an "unsavory" topic. History is not full of angelic hero figures like Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson. They're just written that way because of the culture's glorification of these "legendary" figures when Washington was an inept military figure, Lincoln was probably insane and partly racist and Jefferson had like 3 kids with one of his slaves. History ain't that great. History 50 years ago didn't even mention slavery in school. History is a reflection of society and while society still has racism, there will be racism in the way the truth about history is portrayed. Read Lies My Teacher Told Me by Loewen. Guess what. COLUMBUS WAS AN ASSHOLE. FELIPE NO |
I'm going to go out on a limb here and volunteer myself as being scared out of my wits, not by racism, but by the fascism of multiculturalism. I'm more of a racist than most anyone with whom I've come into contact - but that doesn't mean I hate black or asian people; it's simply a matter of putting value on one's heritage. The real tragedy of the African population of North America isn't that they haven't attained social equality with Europeans, it's the fact that in striving for it they've abandoned their racial identity.
"integrate", which essentially means they adopt a European history in becoming just a slightly peculiar part of a white culture, or: move into the ghetto and join a gang, continuing their history of group-based violence. Neither of these does any good for blacks or whites, in the long run. Ironically, the natural outcome of a nation of multiple races, is hatred toward other races, and this shouldn't be the case. A people should have it's own history, and not merely assimilate someone else's. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

So, like, are we going to pay the blacks restitution for slavery, or make any effort to bring them and other minorities to equal socioeconomic status with whites when we decide to stop calling each other mean things, or what? Double Post:
I like how you don't even bring up pre-whitey American history. Will that be a brief section too? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

knkwzrd - The british, however, were primary responsible for setting up the slave trade which provided the American colonies with slaves.
Yamam - In an American History class, there is no need to go in depth with African culture. African-American culture? Sure. That's part of American history. kat - There's a simple matter of ratios here which you and several other people are completely missing. American history is LARGELY white-based. European history. African culture is part of American history, yes - but there is no reason for it to be some huge massive focus because a few radicals can't get past the fact that their ancestors of 150+ years ago were enslaved. The development of African culture in Africa is such a far out loose end that there's no point in even covering it in an American History class, where the primary focus should be on AMERICA. I'm not denying the importance of blacks in American history. I am saying that there is no reason to put as much emphasis on it as some people want to. Nobody is shoving 'white' history down anyone's throats. They are teaching AMERICAN history, which proportionately has much more to do with europeans, as I just noticed Gwaehir mentioned. FELIPE NO FGSFDS!!! |
Oh wait, now I remember you, DarkLink2135. You're the guy way back when that thought cars aren't worshipped by white people in America.
BE CAREFUL, MINORITIES ARE DIFFERENT. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I believe that we shouldn't even teach History. Why teach someone about what happened in the past? Don't even say "So the same things don't happen again".
Instead invest the time preparing kids/adolescents for the future, the right decisions, things that PARENTS should be doing but unfortunately aren't. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Look, my whole point was that we are putting far too much emphasis on parts of American history that just WERE NOT important enough to justify the amount of time we spend on them. Sure the native americans were cool, it's neat to learn about their customs, government, etc - but that has little bearing on the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which didn't really exist until the Declaration of Independance, and the events leading up to that separation. There isn't any need to spend an entire month studying native americans in a class about American History. A brief summary is enough. Same with African History. There isn't any point. African History doesn't really meld at all with US History until the slave trade, thus, there isn't any need to talk about it in an American History class. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. FGSFDS!!! |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
People have enslaved their own for thousands of years and that was largely based on a class structure instead of the race. The one in America was based, at least in it's climax, solely on race and not much else. The justification for slavery was that whites in general were superior to blacks, that they were a "lesser" breed of people, barely man and therefore, only suitable for being controlled by whites. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I never said that. I don't think that. That wasn't even my point nor something I ever even touched on. Way to bring in a completely unrelated topic. And now I remember you. You were the guy that thinks a black guy and a white girl aren't going to have any differences arising from culture. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? FGSFDS!!! |
How ya doing, buddy? |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I just about didn't include that redundant clause, but I didn't want to give you any reason to start up another bitch storm. This is the second time in 10 minutes you have failed to actually read through a post. Jam it back in, in the dark. FGSFDS!!! |
Yeah I'm sure men are far more important and do a lot more shit than women. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
