I, too, am a Black Man from Detroit. I am enjoying the Solo Fam entries. But in this case, I would ask for Solo response on the uninformed theory tying this to slaves to be a little less harsh. The works baa baa black sheep followed with the response “yes, master” was easily fostered and spread by the black community originating before the civil rights movement as a basis in that theory. I’ve heard that theory and learned otherwise much later in life. So don’t be so harsh on those who grew up hearing this and thought it was true until informed.

Thank you for your logic and reasonableness, not to mention your research. As a woman of colour, I despair at the emergence of this 'wokeness' that asserts racist motives for everything. It diminishes the importance of the dialogue that needs to take place in actual proven instances of racism. It also sets back the possibility of changing attitudes by education, because it closes ppls minds by alienating them. Hope you do more of this. Thank you.

[@Cman04092]

Sometimes i think some of this shit has got to be from racists using the useful idiots to make an important movement look stupid. Like, when they came out with articles saying "time was racist". For example some guys took mein kampf, but changed the language to be about feminism instead and submitted it to a scholarly journal where it was consider scholary work and all that. Then the authors show that it was all a troll to make modern femism look bad after it got accepted and published by these journals. The idea that time is racist because it was made by whites to control blacks is absurd, especially since the first examples of time keeling came out of ancient egypt, definely not white people, lol. The problem is, some idiots who don't know better run with this garbage on twitter or facebook or whatever, or "news" websites run it purely for the clicks, without realizing or caring that they're doing more harm than good.

[@karentucker2161]

The woneness movement to me isn't really woke and they don't really know what it even means at this point. It sucks that people will turn anything to something it wasn't in the first place.

Evaluating a situation takes at least three working brain cells - and the willingness to find things out for oneself rather than swallowing whole the prejudices of one's teachers as "solid fact"

[@daisukidatotoro]

It makes sense then that The whole reason the sheep and wool would be black probably gas more to do with the fact that black dyes in medieval times (yes I know there was no true "black" dye, Thank you) were costly and rare so black wool for cloth would come from black sheep and inherently be more valuable. Hence the 2/3 value lost to the farmer and community would hurt more.

Bro you should have kept going I love it when people rub it in other peoples faces when they know they’re wrong. Yes it is actually true people are stuck on stupid and want to create racism when there was none to begin with which in reality makes them the bigot. People like you who stand up for history and folktales. Next time don’t be afraid of “losing your career” be the Black Sheep of the family.

I can see how Baa Baa, Black Sheep could be used by children to mock their black classmates, but if that hapoens it's the educatirs'job to educate the chikdren, not to ban the song

Pastoral in this context describes something relative to grazing area, which suggests livestock contentedly munching on grassy hills.

Loved that show. My friends would go over the previous night's episode in details the next morning.

The grand irony of all this is that the person who provided Whitney with the key idea for his gin was himself a slave, known to us only by the name Sam. Sam's father had solved the critical problem of removing seeds from cotton by developing a kind of comb to do the job. Whitney's cotton gin simply mechanized this comb.

Creating racism where there wasn't any before is indeed racist. There were many times where I was used as a pawn in a regular situation that was deemed racist. I.e.: once I was picked first out of a group of white kids for a race and this kid said that I was only picked because I was fast as a Black person, but really I was on the track team and everyone knew that. That person exposed their racist tendencies immediately after saying that. He didn't even take the time to think why I may have been chosen other than "her skin is Black."

Due to me watching my nephew, in some versions I hear it says the little girl who lives down the lane instead of the little boy. Why is that? (Me before I watched the video)
