Thank you Nikole Hannah-Jones for your Awesome Words of Truth

[@eugenes496]

Living life from the perspective of where you are can be challenging especially if where you are is problematic. Making lop sided outcomes out of lop sided advantages becomes even more challenging when you consider the momentum is weighted toward the status quo. What I mean by lopsided is changing the ratio of success to failure to define success as the significant number. It is possible. But that possibility is rooted in a fundamental pragmatic change and the way we operate from the perspective of the paradigm that underlines our motivational approach to change.

👍Fantastic talk. Nikole Hannah-Jones is phenomenal & amazing! I’m so proud of her. I wish Maya Angelou was still alive to weigh in on this topic about UNC and tenure. Shame on UNC for being so racist and prejudice! They are disgusting! This is 2021 a whole new millennium and this mess needs to end! Her credentials speak loud and clear. To think that she is less than stellar and not deserving of the same compensation package and tenure of her white counterparts/colleagues because of her ethnicity and gender is antiquated, insulting and utterly absurd! 😡

Public schools that have integrated have found ways to segregate the children within those schools.

[@lloydparks450]

Before the Caucasian race came into being, Black Africans had built great civilization lasting millenniums. I matriculated at Howard University School of Law. In my humble opinion, Howard University School of Law has produced better trained lawyers than Yale and Harvard. I was 4 August 1953 in Lincoln County in the state of Arkansas, and I attended the colored school. The colored school and the white school integrated when I entered 9th grade. I did poorly academically under white teachers, because they hated teaching African American students. In my opinion, integration has been the Achilles' heel for African American children.

Nicole’s presentation is so powerful. She presents history in poignant terms. The point we all need to ponder and reflect is as to why good and god loving people accept cruelty and inhuman behaviour as normal. Nicole is a great Story Teller. Kudos to her.

[@siriuslyspeaking9720]

Of course significant numbers of Black people value education. The question is, do those among us who would benefit the most from an education, value it or value it enough, to make it a priority, above other things in their lives? There is no question about all the inherent disadvantages we have, as a result of enslavement of our forebears. Considering our lack of power to remove or stop those disadvantages/obstacles, what are we to do? How are we to approach our education, in the ways that we have control over it? Hannah-Jones equates Black people's attitude toward education today, with attitudes during post enslavement, to dispel the notion that Black people don't value education. She mentioned the risk that the enslaved took, to get an education. The point she was addressing had nothing to do with Black people's in general attitude, in the past, but the attitude of some particular Black people, in recent times .In fact I have never heard the criticism of Black people's attitude toward education stated the way she presented it - as us being "the only people in the history of the world", who don't value it. When this criticism is made, it is usually done so addressing, or associating it with the culture of poverty, which effects all people living in "poverty". It very well could have been stated that way by someone somewhere, but I doubt that is the way it is widely presented. What are the risk involved in getting an education today? They certainly are not equal to those of long ago, or of a more recent past.

The white supremacist are threaten by the 1619 Project. Why? The white supremacist do not want the truth of the ugly parts of America's history taught to their children. Why? Because the white supremacist children will discover that their descendants were slavers, rapist, and killers. That each and every race they came into contact with the white always subjugate and attempt to dominate by force. There was no peaceful co - existence by these white colonizers. By denying the white supremacist racist history. This helps perpetuates racism. Nelson Mandela said. A racist is not born. Their made. These white supremacist always deny the negative parts of their history. These white supremacist are currently denying the insurrection of 01/06/2001. The truth will set you free. This is why the white supremacist are so threaten by the 1619 Project. From a black American.

[@Rayburn58]

From an uneducated black American.....If you want to talk about slavery, don't ignore the existence of slavery throughout history all over the world. This includes the slavery in Africa perpetrated by Africans on their own people as well as white people. It was the Africans that sold their own to slavery to the Europeans. Talk about the slavery that exists today in Africa by African's. bookmarked currently has enslaved thousands of young black girls as sex slaves. Uneducated people like you and this dumb lady want to ignore this. You and her only care about the slavery caused by white people and ignore the massive slavery that has and does exist perpetrated by non-whites because you and her are racist. Stop trying to be a victim and move on with the incredible opprotunity you have as an American instead of blaming others and making excuses for your lack of success.

[@hzwg3542]

I hope Ms Hannah-Jones can focus her talk to the poorly performed kids' parents and talk to them frankly: 1) Do you work with your kids on their homework? 2) Do you check if your kids do what teachers asked? 3) Do you make sure your kids read the expensive textbooks? 4) Do your kids prepare for the tests if academic is valued as one of the common goods? There is no point for equity in education if equal efforts are not the starting point.

[@goddess2859]

Hmmm…. Let’s actually think about this post you wrote and ask DO these parents have the time after working multiple jobs to make a livable wage because of disparities that persist from structural, institutional, and systemic racism? I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying the answer is more nuanced than the parents not doing enough

Then why doesn't she talk about africa's roll in slavery? Why doesn't she talk about the history of all slavery around the world. Why doesn't she talk about the slavery that exists today in africa orchestrated by africans? Why doesn't she talk about the massive slavery throughout africa throughout history? She is the dishonest one, she is the racist that only wants to talk negatively about white people while ignoring all the other history of slavery from the past and even today. Any educated person understands she is a liar and a fraud.

It’s easy to “forgive” someone when they actually *REPENT* for their past wrongs (in other words, say “I’m sorry” and make it right). America has never repented for white supremacy…it continues to this very day. If Germany, Japan and Italy were still invading countries, no one would have forgiven them either.

Only 33% than 34% and 35% is passing in the whole state of Ohio Lucas county suburbs Springfield township in Holland Ohio USA but this is for the whole state. The test like A SAT FOR COLLEGE FOCUS ON READING, &WRITING MATHEMATICS, AND PROBLEM SOLVING. HE IS ON THE VERGE OF DROPPING OUT IF YOU GO TOO SCHOOL EVERYDAY AND THE OFFICE PEOPLE LOOK ANGRY 😡 THE TEACHER'S ARE ACTING ANGRY 😡 THAN THEY ARE BURNT 🔥 OUT 😩 TIRED. ALMOST EVERY MONTH A young 14, 15 year old is being found dead. A young girl got in A BMW 9 year's old around the corner they dropped her body off all the way in the inner city 6 year's later dead in the back of A city house she is now 15 year's old. Rather it is A boy or girl African American, Americano, Latin, biracial, or multi racial they still have black blood even if it is just 16%🧠 We have too find teacher's that love 💕 to teach but because of COVID it is complicated for every career. 🤲🙏🥰🌹
