[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't have American history without American Indians. You can't have American history without African-Americans. [/quote]

Sure you can. And then it would even be [i]interesting[/i]!

My kid wasn't even in kindergarten before he knew that "African-American History" meant boring, preachy crap.[/quote]

Wow. Your kid's school must really suck. What is so boring about AA history? [i]Boring?[/i][/quote]

ALL OF IT.

I just don't give a shit.

Doesn't speak to me, isn't relevant to my life.[/quote]

wow so anything that isn't relevant to your life you just don't give a shit about.  what a way to live.[/quote]

(shrug) The rationale for including the black history stuff is that blacks don't find history without blacks in it to be relevant to their lives. I have an analogous feeling about their history.[/quote]No one uses that rationale. You are ridiculous.  How are civil rights irrelevant to your life?[/quote]

The civil rights movement should be integrated into American history.  They Balkanize it and frankly stigmatize it by presenting it as "Black history."[/quote]
