I remember a few years ago when the movie Red Tails came out, about the Tuskegee airmen. I was talking to a friend of a friend and said that I was going to go see it. He started saying that it was inaccurate blah blah. I said so what? You think every ww2 movie you watched wasn’t embellished? I said at least Young black kids might watch this and see some heroes fighting and dying for their country instead of some more left wing garbage that makes them hate their country. Good movie. 

Haven't seen it.  Did see Hidden Figures and enjoyed it.

You are ignorant and ignorant about the facts in this case and completely ignorant about our legal system. He was accused of buying food with a counterfeit $20 bill. He was clearly a moron and a repeat criminal and no, I don’t feel sorry for his ass, but that wasn’t proper police procedure. Period. The police are not here to dole out justice. That is why we have the courts.

Here's your black history month lesson. Why aren't they teaching kids about these blacks in schools?

Booker T Washington (one of my favorites)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker_T._Washington
Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 – November 14, 1915)^[1] was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community and of the contemporary black elite.^[2] Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

 

Of all forms of slavery there is none that is so harmful and degrading as that form of slavery which tempts one human being to hate another by reason of his race or color.  - Booker T. Washington

I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public. - Booker T. Washington 1911

They can be...but somehow, I think being ignorant that slavery existed in this country (which would also prohibit teaching about The Constitution) along with the reasons we had The Civil War would be a huge gap in anyone's education and might cause problems interacting with black people in this country in any setting.

I think learning to take advantage of what is out there today and excelling in your own life is more important than knowing about a few unlucky fockers that were sold into slavery by their own people in Africa and other places a couple hundred years ago. 

Every country on the planet had slavery and were taken over by other people and were at wars and killed others and blah blah blah. Only one country is current day USA and that is what should take precedent.

We need to eliminate the liberal mindset of "woe is me, I'm a victim" and get on with life. 

The idiocy that flows from liberals brain matter is worth a total extermination of liberal thought in this country.

Not sure why Nancy Green was cancelled as she should be held in high esteem and honored as a barrier breaker.  Aunt Jemima products should return in her honor.

Yeah, what you posted is neither "fun" nor is it "fact".  I mean, you're an idiot, of course, but grew up in the 70's and 80's and I distinctly remember discussing slavery overall, it's part in the Civil War and afterwards, including the Democrats implementation if Jim Crowe and their founding of the KKK.

If you can't teach kids about races, or discuss the issue of race, then you can't really discuss historical race related issues like slavery, Jim Crow laws and segregation (or so one would think).

Don't worry, she will... in about 20 to 30 years when white liberals, on behalf of black people, will complain about the lack of black people being displayed in the commercial food industry.  They'll blame Republican's for it and call them racist.  Aunt Jemima will then be put back on the labels to support black people.

Teaching about the history of slavery in this country, and how slavery was the major factor in causing the Civil War, Jim Crow laws and segregation that existed until the mid 60s is "fake made up history"?

Bessie Smith

Bessie Smith (April 15, 1894 – September 26, 1937) was an American blues singer widely renowned during the Jazz Age. Nicknamed the "Empress of the Blues", she was the most popular female blues singer of the 1930s. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, she is often regarded as one of the greatest singers of her era and was a major influence on fellow blues singers, as well as jazz vocalists.^[1]

Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith was young when her parents died, and she and her six siblings survived by performing on street corners.
