AND...why did it take some WHITE guys in the 1800s to get rid of Slavery that had been around for eons???

[Wonder Warthog]

"Unfortunately nobody wants to tell them that."

And they wouldn't believe it if anyone did. A more ignorant, self-righteous bunch of know-nothings than today's millennials does not exist.

I would propose that the reason Trump was twice impeached was payback for Clinton. Make America Great Again had to be exorcised from American history because too many people remembered what it was really like.

[miserare]

Unbelievable!

How do these very ignorant youngsters get into college in the first place?

[Telepathic Intruder]

For which we get no credit it seems. There is still slavery in Africa and the ME today. For which they get no blame.

[Deaf Smith]

Maybe explain to then that Anthony Johnson was the first slave owner in the now USA.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

You mean slavery in America. Brazil had four times the African slaves than America and it didn’t end there until 1888.

British slavery ended in India by 1843, most by the British East India Company. Almost ignored by history.

I saw Sudanese slaves in Saudi back in the 90s

I remember Jay Leno going out on the street asking young college students
questions about American History.

Their answers were both incredibly ignorant and very funny.

That was back in 2000.

What passes for education today is an abomination

and remember the price.

“Not to mention those wonderful and peaceful Native Americans who routinely enslaved those less powerful than them”

Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Muslims, Pharaohs?

‘If anyone ever explained the Barbary Pirates to them, their heads would explode.’

they’d probably think it was a minor league baseball team...

[IrishBrigade]

‘Survey showed a few years ago that around 40% of young people were not able to properly place in time sequence the American Civil War and World War II.’

that’s impossible to believe; everyone knows that the Civil War started when the Japs bombed Fort Sumter...

[wjcsux]

I’m guessing that these snowflakes were never taught about Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome and the Ottoman Empire.

[Truth29]

It is a wonder that Professor Pesta has not been canceled.

[IrishBrigade]

‘Not to mention those wonderful and peaceful Native Americans who routinely enslaved those less powerful than them.’

a history of the Iroquois Nation should be required reading...

[wjcsux]

I’m wondering if any of today’s college students knows who William Wilberforce was and what he accomplished.

[KTM rider]

Slavery is still very much alive in Africa today. It was Africans who captured and sold the slaves that ended up in America until they were emancipated by WHITE MEN who fought and died to set them free.

Black people should pay white people reparations

[goodnesswins]

Yes...of course, in America...likely college students don’t know where other countries are

[IrishBrigade]

‘A more ignorant, self-righteous bunch of know-nothings than today’s millennials does not exist.’

nah; governors who think they are virologists have them beat...
