Where? Where have I advocated for teaching a university level law course to little Johnny in 4th grade?
I’m arguing to keep teaching about slavery and Jim Crow. But that seems to offend conservative white people, so they want it eliminated.
Honestly, how do you prevent this if you teach about Jim Crow or Slavery? How do you prevent even 1 white person from feeling guilt or shame for something they did not do?
I think you would make a great fiction writer…at least from this example.
FTR. No informed person thinks things are not better for POC, and/or other minorities today, than they were during slavery, Jim Crow era, or even the struggles in the 60’s and 70’s.
The fact remans, there is more work to be done, regarding race issues.
That seems to be the widest chasm between those on the left and those on the right.
By teaching it as history, not a current event. Under your thinking you should feel shame because the sellers of African slaves to the Europeans and Arabs were other Africans. And slavery continues in Africa, at the hand of African’s against other Africans, at this very moment as I type these words. So are you ashamed that Africans sold your ancestors into slavery, and continue to sell other Africans into slavery today? Or, as an individual who didn’t take part in enslaving anyone, do you refuse to feel shame for the past, and present, actions of other members of your race?
Is it just me? But, with all this talk about minorities, self segregating, safe spaces, and other minority advocate groups, and some people being against it.
I’ve been getting this disturbing feeling that people are pushing for a sort of assimilation, a push that Mexican groups, black groups etc, are racist. That leads to the elimination of minority identities.
