I woulda say king Leopold of Belgium for his atrocities in Congo. He cut off people's hands because they weren't making him enough money ( the irony, how would they work harder with no hands, stupid) there are tons of pics of fathers and mothers holding their murdered children's cut off limbs. He kidnapped the women of the people and children so that the men worked harder while they raped the women and children . If I were able to meet him I would hold back not one BIT.

Kev, don't feel bad. I went to an elementary in the hood and they didn't teach us half of the things we should know. I didn't realize how much I didn't know until social media took off.

The older we get, the less memory capacity we seem to have. Lol. But seeing as how my dad was the same age as a lot of civil rights activists and old enough to remember when a lot of them died, I wish he and my grandmother would have taught us more.

I agree with Angel about Educational Reform. A lot of people complain about not learning certain things in school, but us educators teach based on state standards... sometimes we can add things in like angel’s history teacher did with the eye on the prize doc, but other times we can’t based on who we are teaching, and can potentially lose our job.

I don't think y'all giving the black film community enough credit. There are plenty of movies for us to watch just for entertainment. And biopics are essential to the black community and those outside the community unaware of black history. No matter what the bases, black or non-black, the fact is historical and/or fact based films always have more buzz around them. Now when people stop making biopics because they're listening to "the people"... what then? Cuz we are VERY far from school reform. There are schools that don't even acknowledge black history month AT ALL!

Very very much needed. Until relatively recently, collectively we only learned the Black history all-stars, and in many cases were only taught the white-friendly version. And: we're still fighting different versions of the same struggle - and it's important to know why. Otherwise, we get celebrities with big platforms and no knowledge falling for the okie-doke and spreading their ignorance like toxins.

[@Charisma598]

Though I will agree: there is a bias in how non-Black people overvalue stories of "the struggle" and discount our talent in other genres. I actually think in a previous episode one of y'all talked about the latent racism in comedy, not crediting the genius of our creators b/c "Black people are naturally funny" (which, you'd think means we're better represented in writing rooms, but the way white supremacy do...).

I love what you all had to say about Black cinema being seemingly limited to "struggle" movies. I feel it's the same with Black literature. It's changing, we're getting more sci fi and fantasy, but it still feels like a fad that will pass. We need to feel free to have characters on screen and on the page who are Black but that fact doesn't have to define the story they tell. Part of the problem is...for the longest, if we wanted to be produced and promoted by "the market", our works had to be educational for other races, they need to see the struggle so that they can better and feel like they know something. I even think some of us were trained to think that's how it's supposed to be. Thank you for shining more light on this.
