Do YOU think they should teach the history of slavery in school?
@nathaliejacoby1 I am not a white, but I don’t think it’s appropriate or productive to teach the slavery history to young whites and blacks in the same class . Let this for special optional courses.
@nathaliejacoby1 Only if they teach about ALL slavery, including the Blacks of Egypt enslaving the Hebrew people. Including the Blacks of Persia who enslaved the majority of the known world. Including the modern-day Chinese, with their religious labor camps.
@nathaliejacoby1 So my mother, in her infinite wisdom, has white washed her slave trading Quaker and her tobacco plantation ancestors. I call it like I see it. There's nothing to be gained by toning it down or ignoring it. America... where we call genocide "resettling to reservations." #evil
@nathaliejacoby1 And the language pf tax policy they used to justify it.
@nathaliejacoby1 Yes. The history of slavery is part of the history of America. However, teach it CORRECTLY (that it started with Europeans, then Native Americans, and then Africans). Also too, because of the foregoing, you have to teach the truth of the Civil war.
@nathaliejacoby1 Yes. That was never the issue. The issue was teaching people to be racist against white people.
@nathaliejacoby1 Absolutely. Pretending the past isn't the past prevents people from learning from it and doing better.
@nathaliejacoby1 As long as they teach the whole history all the way back in time and about Indentured servitude too.
