Florida introduces new standards REQUIRED when teaching Black history 🤦🏽‍♂️

All slavery was opportunistic. It was done solely for financial reasons. I want reparations from Genghis Khan and Arab slave traders.

Nope, that doesn't even make sense.

Why not? It's important for us to understand the post molestation period more fully! Also it's just a fact and you can always tell everyone facts regardless of any context

Hopefully the entire Countries schools teach students some skills like voting out Bidenettes and anti-Americans like you

That was the most ignorant comment I've seen in months. You are officially stupid. Congrats

So what it’s you’re point? This such common knowledge that even your basic racist ass knows it.

Do you want a gold star for the day😃?

Maybe you can explain to us all how a molestation victim benefits from being molested.

Ok I’m going to break it down for ya, cause it is pretty clear, that at best, you are only quick on your feet. Anyone with basic knowledge of the era could infer what you are saying, and probably point to specific examples.

But, teaching “slaves learned valuable skill” is not the important lesson to be learned from history. And is being forced into curriculum to cater to insecure white racist…like you… and a bunch of other ppl here.

Everyone knows that slavery is a bad system for gaining skills-an unfortunate choice of words here. But, some were able to rise above it. These are the stories that people need to hear (Chat-GPT). I am sure there were many more.

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915): An influential educator, author, and orator, Washington founded the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) and advocated for vocational education and economic self-reliance for African Americans.
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895): A prominent abolitionist, writer, and statesman, Douglass escaped slavery and became a leading voice in the fight against slavery and for civil rights and suffrage.
Harriet Tubman (c.1822-1913): An abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad, Tubman helped hundreds of slaves escape to freedom. She also served as a nurse, scout, and spy during the Civil War.
Sojourner Truth (c.1797-1883): An abolitionist and women's rights advocate, Truth is best known for her powerful speech "Ain't I a Woman?" and her work to promote equality and justice for all.
George Washington Carver (c.1864-1943): A botanist, inventor, and educator, Carver's research on peanuts, sweet potatoes, and other crops revolutionized agriculture in the Southern United States.
Ida B. Wells (1862-1931): A pioneering investigative journalist and civil rights activist, Wells documented and exposed the horrors of lynching and campaigned for anti-lynching legislation.
Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954): A suffragist, civil rights activist, and the first president of the National Association of Colored Women, Terrell fought for women's rights and racial equality.
W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963): A sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist, Du Bois co-founded the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and was a prominent advocate for African American rights.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005): Parks played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement by refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993): As a lawyer and later the first African American Supreme Court Justice, Marshall fought for civil rights and was instrumental in several landmark civil rights cases.

Gotta agree with this post above.

Also, BTW, using Rupp's name -- and posting what you just said...pretty sure he would NOT be thrilled. #badlook

Nobody said it was an important "lesson," it's just a fact of history. You are the people who are attributing this huge significance to it. It was one line in over 20 pages of AA history curriculum objectives. These kids in Florida are going to know more about AA history than all of you woke posers claiming to be experts.

Also you're dead wrong about anything being "forced" into the curriculum. The Dept of Education sets agreed upon the new standards.

Feel free to express your opinion.

Leave Rupp’s name OUT of it

SUPER disrespectful.

also, shows you’re one of those insecure boys who probably has a tattoo to show your love for him!

Why can’t you use your own last name? Too ashamed ?

Hahaha ..yea cause if there is one thing that trash state is known for, it has to be its high academic standards 🤣

Umm.. the only black American president in history so far has no ancestor who was a slave in the Western Hemisphere. So in his case, it seems that not being enslaved in the Western Hemisphere benefitted his ancestors. And until we have a president who is a descendant of former slaves in the Western Hemisphere, I won't have to change this current assessment.

Yeah, being a domestic servant or working in a field tied to a chain are really good modern skills hey?

How is this post getting upvoted? Don't y'all have a klan meeting to attend?

Woke posers? You wanna cancel Disney and Bud light for exercising their constitutional rights . How American of you.

It’s even worse than that - they are applauding governmental intervention into private businesses. And they have the temerity to call themselves “conservatives.”

So much for the days when conservatives thought that government’s role was to generally stay out of the way (that is, be conservative in its action). Ronald Reagan would puke at this.

This (and the conservative Christian takeover of the party) is why I’m now registered as an independent rather than a Republican.

You’re not blind to the facetious, analogous nature of statement. It’s just that this one triggers you and the one on slavery does not.

People deal with the cards they are dealt with - some people due to life’s inequities and some people due to being unnecessary victims.

The skills “slaves gained” were trumped by the skills slaves were not able to gain and the daily torment and mental anguish. As a slave, there was retribution for those who attempted to become educated - no reading, no writing, no math, etc. What skills did they gain? Picking cotton? You can learn to pick cotton first day on the job as a 5 year old.

The textbooks are meant to erase the serious nature of slavery and pacify the needs of white nationalist. The net result from teaching about slavery with caveats is that invariably people will think that it wasn’t that bad.

As far as slaves staying with their owners, thats a BS defense. Firstly, slavery was chattel labor. And again - remember, slaves were not allowed to be educated.

So if they were “free to go” post slavery, but don’t know where to go, or how to do anything else, and the government is now forcing owners to pay them, that’s a big difference.

Also, even in today’s society, a lot prisoners who serve long prison sentences eventually become comfortable with their situation.

Back to victimization analogies that are equally as ridiculous as the slavery gained skills one:

A person who gets shot in the eye and loses their sight learns to use their other senses better. This is a fact. The persons other senses improve but they are still worse off and no one would ever try to pacify the ancestors of the shooters into thinking forced blindness wasn’t the worst thing they they could have ever endured by talking about how good a blind person’s sense of smell is.
