Troll Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Do we REALLY need to repost that video of Biddy wanting to teach real history about a light bulb? Surely that is not necessary... Children's education is usually better without all the politics... PS: that includes all the School funded private politics being removed from the equation as well....

HSFBfan Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 The 1619 project has been talked about negatively for close to a year. I brought up a thread on here many many months ago and it was basically ignored Now its in the limelight We need to defund schools deunionize them as well.

Gospeeder Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Unfortunately most are not aware of actual history of this continent and over the years, it has been formatted to meet the needs of specific agenda's. IMO, we are seeing a lot of that now. One small example would be how the formation of slavery has been or is currently interpreted. The slaves of African descent were sold by the Dutch in the early 1600's and were an extreme minority as most of the slaves of the period were brought over from England's lowest Caucasian classes. As indentured servants... a fancy name for slave, they were brutalized by the Tidewater aristocracy ( centered in Virginia ) as badly as deep southern slaves were decades later. However, during that time period there was no distinction between black or white as how each was treated. There was no segregation or deep rooted overt racism. It was not until the mid to latter part of the century that the entire Tidewater economy started to run out of low class white indentured servants... after which deals were made with the Caribbean Islands to ship back slaves for sale. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
