[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school did nothing which I found odd as we live in DC. [/quote]

Why is that odd? DC is no longer Chocolate City, gentrification is killing the DC African American culture. DC , now, is all about being politically correct. [/quote]

But, white children, latino, etc. should also be learning about Black History.  As should everyone be learning about Hispanic history, etc.

These white schools need to learn about Black history more than everyone.  So that hopefully they will grow up and learn to love all people and all cultures and not be racist like most of their parents and most of the posters on DCUM.

I hate to be blunt but it's the truth.[/quote]

Preach!

I grew up in an all white area and they showed us roots during BHM. When I made my first black friend in college, I would always call him chicken George when ever I got drunk. That is a pretty good reason to exspose kids to a more rounded history.

Only problem being I could see it under cutting some kids sense humanity. One can get numbed to smaller injustices when studying thousands of years of exploitation, Slavery, colonialism and brutality. [/quote]
