I feel you brother .. I’m with you .. honestly I am with you 100% but I have a question for you Hodl regarding the u.s education system and this is genuine I’m not tryna be a smart ass.
I am a black man in America with children
You are a white man in America with children
Let’s say they went to same school. Why would you have a problem (I’m assuming you do, forgive me if I’m wrong) with our kids being taught American History that includes slavery and all the evils that the Europeans did to the original Americans. Should they not teach American history to our children at all? What’s the solution?
Now me personally I’m kinda of torn I don’t think black children should be constantly taught that their ancestors were once enslaved, they don’t teach the full history they make it seem like enslaved blacks were helpless and never fought back like there weren’t hundreds of slave revolts etc they also don’t teach kids about white people like John Brown that did a lot to fight against slavery but I also don’t think it should be an ignored part of history just because it makes white people uncomfortable. Do we just leave it up to the parents to teach their kids about the history of America. I already teach my kids their history but I’m speaking on a larger general scale. It seems alot of white Americans are uncomfortable that their kids are being taught the truth and I think it’s dangerous to supresss real things that happened to appease one group of people’s feelings.
Would like to know your thoughts on this and any other white American thoughts on this that have children peace and love to you all.
