The Romans are …
The Romans are Caucasians. So, what are you really trying to say?
yes listenheer, i …
yes listenheer, i agree, also, how about even a fraction of the history of jews? i mean does nobody openly acknowledge these things?
Wait a moment! The …
Wait a moment! The Romans also took many black slaves from Africa to Europe, but do we speak of THAT.
I think you have to …
I think you have to realize that most American history is recorded from a EuropeanAmerican point of view so just ordinary U.S. History courses taught in most high Schools is European American history. Next African Americans are some of the oldest Americans in this country most whites migrated to the U.S. in the 1920s and other nationalities such as Asians and Latinos have a much shorter history in the U.S compared to .
Why does no one …
Why does no one ever want to discuss the some 20,000,000 caucasion slaves that the Romans took to Africa from Europe.
Ill tell you why.
Because caucasins don’t spend their lives sitting on the pitty-pot clamoring for sympathy for misfdortunes that befell their distant ancestors.
is your language …
is your language similar to spanish or portugese just curious peace out
HOW DO WE AS A …
HOW DO WE AS A PEOPLE KEEP OURSELVES DOWN? WE ARE NOT INQUISITIVE ENOUGH, WE ARE NOT SCEPTICAL OF STANDARD “BELIEFS” ABOUT US. SO, WE MUST QUESTION, DOUBT, INQUIRE, DIG, SEARCH-OUT and FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF.

1 of 2
Black man/women of slavery were un-educated, because the slave master kept them from reading and writing so they would be subservient and not escape. A non-self imposed ignorance. This had a devastating perpetual consequences.
The white society has been telling his-tory for about 100 yrs., i.e., radio, movies then steroid tv.
Therefore, how do you keep a people down? You ‘never’ let them ‘know’ their history…this is why Black People need their history Morgan.

2 of 2
The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn’t for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. Read, and visit site/great military history, rescue at pine ridge. com
All the post of the Buffalo Soldiers had some type of library/school to help bring the troops up to speed, since most of them came directly out of slavery. Enjoy
It’s retarded, I …
It’s retarded, I used to go to a school that’s 40% Asian, 40% White, 15% Hispanic and wait for it….. 5% BLACK.
We had more African American studies classes than Hispanic / Asian / European studies..
Hmm… I wonder why…….
Suppressing other race studies is never racist when it comes to African American studies class.
Go to any college website and download their schedule, then demographics, it’s totally racist. No one is un-PC enough to talk out because they’ll be “racist to do so
I’m from Brazil and …
I’m from Brazil and about 45-50% of the population here is Black/and or Bi-racial (Black mixed with indian/or white) so we do have similar bonds with African-Americans because we went through the same history. Believe it or not there were more slaves shipped to Brazil then in the U.S.
Infact Exton the …
Infact Exton the USA is infact a multicultural country but yet you teach English history I believe but not African history, Irish history, Mexican or Italian history.
Respect and love to …
Respect and love to African Americans from Ireland

You seem to …
You seem to contradict yourself.
I can’t think anything a more important criterium qualifying somebody as an african-american than the fact that his father is from Africa and his mother from America.
The man himself,people around him and political adversaries identify him so.
You can always find differences between people if that is your focus.
It doesn’t matter when they came.What matter is what they have in common right now.
If you was black you will be swinging on different tune.
Wow!!
The guy is …
Wow!!
The guy is far from a racist.
Are you denying that blacks have been slaves for centuries?
Most people don’t deny that.
It’s like saying 2+2 is two.You have the right to say that but that doesn’t make it correct..
I hate when people act radical and try to minimize racism when it’s not applied to them.
What would you feel if you was born in the ghetto and having to build everything from scratch because your ancestors worked for free for people who didn’t even thanked them
think about it
Dubois like all …
Dubois like all liberals really cant think of anything but sex. Not everything revolves around being homosexual. In China they teach, math, science, and English. Americans schools is Sex, perverted Sex, and multiculturalism, no wonder our kids come out so stupid. If your kid has a major that ends in Study accept the fact that they will be working at McDonald’s and living in your basement.
inward40 Your …
inward40 Your confusing Western Civilization with Racism. Truth is that while the White Europeans were rising the standard of living, Blacks were still fighting each other over grass huts. Look at the Black that come here from outside of American, They see no white supremacy for they were not brainwashed into hatred and socialism. Blacks were progress economically until LBJ tried to help them out. Welfare and affirmative action destroyed blacks, blame the Democrat Liberals.
False proposition, …
False proposition, how is Black history different than American History? This guy is a racist. So where are German American History, or Irish American History studies? Who ever heard of an African-Canadian? There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, Booker T Washington. Washington was for integration America First, Dubois was for separate but equal Black First. Duboiss theories have proven to be wrong and actually hold back the Blacks
That makes him * …
That makes him *more* African-american than most people who call themselves so. He actually had an African parent.
Err, yeah actually …
Err, yeah actually they do. Google the Irish-American Heritage centre. Google “white hertiage”. Google “indian heritage”.
To accelduetograv: …
To accelduetograv: We would “Get Over It” as you say if it weren’t for one thing, the system of global white supremecy. Get rid of that and we’ll be fine.
and THAT IS THE …
and THAT IS THE VERY BEGINNING OF OUR HISTORY,NOT SLAVERY.and young black america needs to know that b/c many are uninfomed.we need to know the entirety of our history and the entirety of it is not being taught in these schools
