[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they talk about NoI's antisemitism and other problematic traits.

But you honestly cannot talk about the trajectory of the Black experience in the 20th century without talking about the Panthers, the NoI, and other Black nationalist or separatist groups.

This isn't to say that those groups are correct, or to valorize them, but they are part of the trajectory of African American history as well as being a direct result of anti-Black racism.

Black self-help groups were a direct outgrowth of a sense that the white-dominated power structure would never extend the benefits to Black citizens that it extends to white ones.

This is also situated within a broader separatist impulse in American culture, in which you also saw other groups decide that mutual aid was a better answer than waiting for the US government to acknowledge their humanity. [/quote] how do you know that they do teach that part of the NOI ? The article gave no indication that they do [/quote]

That article is in a right-wing rag called "Public School Watch." It's not there to tell you anything useful - it's there to stir up white grievance. [/quote]

Um, PSW promoted DEI.

Did you even click on the link ??[/quote] of course he didn’t click the link. Or this person lives in an alternate reality [/quote]
