I was willing to take him seriously UNTIL...
“Black History: We learn all the white history in the world, and that hurts us...and we should all be annoyed with our kids coming out of school idolizing their great great grandmother’s rapist slave master.”
1) They DO NOT LEARN much history in general - white, black or otherwise.
2) If you have to learn how to read (the white man’s language) and write (the white man’s language) and think (the white man’s “critical thinking”), then you should probably learn HIS history since you’re in HIS country. That is, if you want to succeed.
I’ve taught in some predominantly black schools as a roving math-science teacher. The kids in grades 3 -5 reached out to me a little more than other kids in suburban schools and rural schools. They were very cute, but they need a stable home with a married mother and a father. After grade 5, attitudes start to change, and not for the better.
They are not taught that education is important. Only the black community can resolve this. How can they let go of resentment and a feeling of inferiority towards white people? Maybe that’s why the author was trying to focus on black authors. Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglas are a good start, both espousing a more conservative philosophy, but overall, they need leaders who preach forgiveness.
Some of the finest people I’ve ever met are African American Christians, and the kids who are taken to church have a better chance than the other kids, because they have a church family.
There are 1,250 to 2,100 and by some counts over 3,000 languages spoken natively in Africa.
Which one should be chosen to study “Black History”? Literature?
Maybe DNA analysis to determine predominant tribal roots and then study that history such that one achieves being “real”.
Author looks through a glass darkly and sees....?
Darkies?
sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry
Broken families, end of story.
7. Stop using “axe” unless you are chopping wood.
Maybe it was odd, but not once in all my years of education did I ever consider the color of all the famous people in history, the race of the greatest authors, the national origin of the scientists, the creed of the philosophers. It never occurred to me to ask. All we knew is that they were great men and women of spectacular achievement. Not one teacher ever said “You need to learn about this scientist/leader/mathematician/composer because he is WHITE.” We really grew up in a colorblind educational system.
What this author is proposing is sad, an educational apartheid..
Per “Black history”, are they going to teach them that the history of Africa is mainly of one tribe of blacks killing and enslaving other tribes of blacks?
Per jobs, at one time in the past, many of the skilled brick and stone masons were hard working black men.
These babies aren’t immaculate conceptions, you know. They all have fathers who refuse to be fathers.
There’s a reason for that old joke about Father’s Day being the most confusing day in Harlem.
Quit letting the fathers run off and avoid THEIR responsibility, and you’ll have fewer welfare babies.
What about fathers, family life, truth, honor, etc? There is more to learning than books!

The six points are good, but his presentation is very racist.
“we should all be annoyed with our kids coming out of school idolizing their great great grandmother’s rapist slave master.”
it has long been understood that a good education stems from a healthy world view...this bigot promotes the perpetuation of the angry black kid stereotype.
Black entrepreneurs were in greater number BEFORE the so called great society than after. Just sayin’.
what happened to the integration of the public school system that courageous black students stood up for in the 60’s......how does that square with this bigots view that segregation is essential to a wholesome black education.....
typical Liberal B.S....SUCKING AND BLOWING AT THE SAME TIME
Only 8% of black kids with married parents are living in poverty. That might be a nice fact to share.
I am getting to the point that it would be best to temporarily blind them for 18 years and tell them their asians. Skin color is irrelevant except to American blacks.
The Roman poet Terence, who was from Africa, said, "I am a human being. I consider nothing human to be alien to me." That's a better attitude. Why not learn and appreciate anything of value from anywhere on earth? Why restrict yourself to one-seventh (perhaps) of the human race? When it comes to reading books worth reading, probably a lot less than one-seventh are by black authors, considering that most of Africa was illiterate until recently and it was only about 1900 or so that the literacy rate among black Americans got up to 50%.
Racist author with a persecution complex. But has some points that would be good for anyone.
Their parents could teach them all of the above.
Home school.
