@jurgnobs13088 ай бұрын
@@michelej9496 I really dislike the whole "african proverb" trend. africa has a huge variety of different cultures, with each of them having their own proverbs. it's bizzare because it is usally done by progressives who use it qs a way to elevate african heritage (which by itself is a great thing) but it actually kind of ignores the actual wealth and diversity of cultures all over africa. people don't generally say "european proverb" when they mean something said by germans, italians, french etc. i wish we would have the same care and precission when talking about the much, much larger and more varied pool of african cultures. i know you didn't mean it negatively, so I don't try to attack you, it's just something that always irritates me a bit.

These poor slaves were actually very intelligent and master craftsmen in their profession yet were treated unworthy of being treated with respect. Maybe because these Africans were quick learners with great intelligence the white owners and eventually Government were scared of what these people could achieve so made sure there was a lack of schooling/teaching for their future generations. These slaves really left a great Legacy in which proves that the Black race is really far more superior in intellect, Good Morals, Integrity and Godliness than the White race. Which really stands the test of time judging by the way the World has gone due to greedy White Bankers. If your Black...be Proud...Thank and Bless your Ancestors for reminding you of your Abilities within. I'm white but would never have agreed with Slavery if I lived in that time because I see people as human beings not commodities ..it comes from the Heart and Soul. The Film "ROOTS" made such an impression on me as a child...I actually cried at the sadistic treatment of the slaves as I did watching the cowboy films...I loved the Native American Indians and hated the dirty, drunken, cruel cowboy's. So much cruelty in History but no one in Authoritative Positions remembers today as it still continues. Sad but True !

@@suzpeters6 , CRT is only taught at College level, and in most cases is an elective unless one is pursuing a degree in law; so it is ridiculous for conservatives to get their undies in a bunch over something that isn't being taught to schoolchildren, although perhaps it could eventually be included in a high school curriculum. The bigger issue is that nobody talks about, or is taught about, the history of Class structure of America. And make no mistake about it, America is most definitely NOT a classless society. Read "White Trash" by Nancy Eisenberg, a heavily researched and footnoted exploration of 400 years of top-down Class division in America, and how the ruling class has played divide-and-conquer in order to retain their grip on wealth and power. Racism against people of color was/is just a handy, convenient starting point for giving working-poor whites someone to hate and to scapegoat. As Lyndon B Johnson said, "If you can get even the lowest white man to believe that he is above the colored man, he won't notice when you're picking his pockets; indeed, he might even turn them out to make it easier for you".

I'm sorry but Jews and Italians always lived together in New York City, as well as in Brooklyn and Queens, and everywhere else around NYC. In perfect harmony at that, because the family-based cultures were very similar, and they shared their lives and cultures together. I know, I grew up there. And Sicilians ARE Italians. Why don't you know that? And neighborhoods in the city were NOT 'strictly segregated'. People always choose to live with those who share their own culture. That's why we have countries and neighborhoods. No one chooses to live with those who don't share their values and cultures. It rarely works out well. You clearly have never lived next door to someone who hates you and your culture/country. They attack you at every opportunity. You want that? Really?

@@alikathiphopoprah5507 Yes and no .Certainly if a government commits illegal actions it should be held responsible. However, the issue at hand, slavery, was legal at the time it existed. History cannot be repealed. Another consideration is that a government consists of people agreeing to, or accepting rules or laws that govern individual behavior. The people of today cannot be responsible for what other people did in the past. To do so would be punishing someone for something that he did not do. This groupthink is just a rationalization for taking money from other people instead of earning it on their own.

That was great! I think its extremely important though to teach where slavery began, in the African continents where tribes were selling captured other tribes to the Arabs. Then of course they were sold to europeans and then those came to the new world. The larger view of slavery keeps things in more of a world perspective.

There definitely needs to be more exposure of just how prevalent and brutal slavery was in the so called northern states as it was in southern states.
Isn't it evident that Europe and America owe Africa so much, I mean so much... to appease them for all these years of perpetual exploitation, extortion, brutality and what have you... isn't it just obvious...
