I teach it and I can tell you my scholars are enjoying the course. It is NOT what people have been fed to believe. I almost did not teach it because of the controversy that has been labeled with this course. I am so glad that I have been chosen to teach this amazing class.
As long as it is an all-inclusive course okay. That would be acknowledging that their own people sold them. It would be in America it was the Democrats who endorsed slavery and continue to do so in the South under Jim Crow laws up until the mid-1970s. Teach them that the southern strategy is a bunch of BS. Teach them about what Booker T Washington said about a certain class of negroes and the grievance industry and making money from it. Then also teach them that they were enslaved in the Ottoman Empire before the white man landed on Plymouth Rock. Are any of those in your coursework? Serious question don't dodge it.
Good for you, sis! Thank you for stepping up to the proverbial educator of integrity plate. Thank you for everything you're doing to cultivate in the minds of your students an appreciation for accurate historical information.
Facts are not "an agenda" and, quite literally, not "propaganda". Teaching African American history, Native American history, Asian American history, Mexican American history and women's studies should be MANDITORY in HS. It doesn’t "teach hate", it informs and empowers EVERYONE.
I'm curious to know what's the difference between this HS level course and a "normal" University level African American studies course? What's the controversy, exactly? Don't the HS students have some out of pocket cost to get credit for the 3 credit college course? Seems premium and on par with our societal perspectives and standards, if you ask me.
I’m a 50 year old black woman born and raised in the south. When I was in school we were taught about the horrors of slavery, their living conditions, civil war, second class citizenship after the civil war, Jim Crow etc. Are these things not taught in school anymore? Why is there a separate course for something that’s already discussed in American history? If it’s not taught anymore then the discussion should be about the dumbing down of our schools. Why do our kids know lyrics to so many hip hop songs but probably can’t name the capital of 20 states?
Thank you Nicole. I learned these things in school in the 70’s and 80’s. It’s American history the good and the bad OURstory. It’s not separate for each race.
You apparently went to a different school than I did. The schools I attended in Georgia glossed over slavery and suggested the civil war had little to do with slavery and was all about “states rights”. When I attended school in PA, they spent much more time on slavery, Jim Crow, and civil rights.
@@JinMadeOfWin well it’s sad you had a poor education. And apparently many other Americans are so poorly taught we need a separate course for basic American history everyone used to know.
There’s much more to know about Black history than what you can learn in a general American history course. I have a degree in history, and one thing I can tell you is that a deeper dive into Black history will only be enlightening and empowering to all students. Don’t advocate for less education, advocate for more.
I am going in school to become a professor in african american studies. I am so excited and cant wait to teach my kids about themselves which we did not have the privilege to do like other cultures.
Especially after I have researched the history of the conflict of Israel and Palestine and now having a greater understanding of it all, I completely agree African American history should be studied!!! History is important to greater understand the events of today.
@@wreiad he did not tell you but I will. He is a Black Hebrew Israelite they believe the Jews that currently occupy Israel are not the original Israelites. What they are is a bunch of racist that believes every other race but the white man will be in heaven and if they are in heaven they will be Servants of the people of color. I study a lot of things and I picked up on what he was saying real quick even though he didn't say it outright I'm what you call a quick study😉 so that's how Israel and Palestine got imported into African American history. Now just sit back and say wow🤣 knowledge is power
@@wreiad the gist of what I was saying is at the end of my earlier comment and important especially due to my ignorance before I researched the history of the current war.
@@bobwilliams4895If that were the case you all would have supported the idea of black American history being taught 10 years ago... But you didn't. Stop using him as an excuse to justify your racist belief and why it is you oppose America addressing the harsh realities of what many white Americans allowed to happen to black Americans across centuries
Emblem of the Americas1798 they need to teach real history. Not black and African. Definition of of American Webster's first edition1828. No black no African
It's very telling the way in which so many of you automatically become so interested in other non-black non-white people groups the minute Black Americans get some type of acknowledgment lol
I’m all for teaching history but if I tell a person of African American descent that my ancestors, who were primarily of Latino and Native American descent, were lynched too, they look at me like I’m crazy… in my grade school days I learned more our predominately white conquerors and the people that were unfortunately sold to these lands than I did about my own predominant heritage(I am about half Native North American and Hawaiian and then the rest is about everything else under the Sun. My ancestors loved diversity). The people who were here before anyone else… I do hope more time is spent on actually learning about the history of all the people that have been here or have come here through time by different measures. And of course, more time getting people to actually understand and use STEM courses. It’s very important to make these younger generations more well rounded.
If you’re Latino, you should probably know that part comes from Spain, aka Europe, aka white, and they did as many terrible things as Anglo conquerors. They are literally called conquistadors because that’s the word for conquerors in Spanish. They came here well before the English. For example, the Palace of Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was built before the Mayflower arrived (1610 vs 1620). They did many, many terrible things to the Natives, but most notable is Juan de Oñate. He is known for the Acoma massacre, and ordering the right foot to be cut off 24 Acoma men as well. He was such a b*stars that he was expelled from New Spain (now New Mexico). However, Latinos see him as founding father, and have literally SHOT people at two protests involving his statue, one in Albuquerque in 2020 (Steven Baca) and one just recently in Española (Ryan Martinez). Media outside New Mexico labeled Martinez as “white” (we say Anglo here, because Spanish-descent people can be white) because they don’t understand the complexities of ethnic relations in NM. But they aren’t Anglos, as an Anglo Mew Mexican myself I can assure you we don’t give two sh*ts about Oñate, and frankly I personally want Kit Carson’s name removed from the streets and parks in Taos for what HE did to the Navajo (he played a major role in the Long Walk). So my whole point is you don’t seem to know your own history, talking about “Latinos” as if they weren’t the original oppressors. Latin Americans understand this, they have a statue in Ecuador of a conquistador having gold poured down his throat by the Natives. But Latinos in the US think because they can be marginalized in SOME states, that their ancestors were treated poorly. That is true in some cases, it does not negate what the Spanish did, and that needs to be reckoned with just as it is being for Anglos and the French. Sorry to tell you you have ancestors who are both good and bad. Actually, I’m not, because if you go far enough back, we ALL have good and bad ancestors, no one race or ethnic group is all good or bad, too bad Americans have a hard time grasping nuance and reality.
@@TheBLGL if you read my comment, I did say I was only half Native. Yes I am fully aware that I also have other ancestors. Yes descendants from Spain, the Basque region, Portugal. My dad was of Hawaiian, Mexican Native, Irish and Portuguese blood mixed in with a few Scandinavian countries. My mom had all of the Native that centered around Texas and New Mexico. Perhaps I should have worded my comment better because yes I am fully aware of how bad the Spanish in particular were… hell it would be hard to not know. Starting in Mexico with the Conquistadors there. The missions all over the place that sought to erase a culture by all means we’re definitely not nice to the Natives. Landed Natives here which were few, had a hard time keeping their lands.
@@TheBLGL also, lynchings which I had referred to happened even in the 1900s to people who looked like my grandparents. My maternal grandparents, which I grew up with, had a fear of traveling at night. Atrocities happened to people who looked like them, who were people descended from Latin countries mixed with native. They were true Tejanos. The type that in the late 1800s faced expulsion by violent means from any land they had in south Texas.
They are in the process of elimination and removal of AP Calc, Physics and Other core important AP subjects from high school curriculum but sure let's incorporate AP African American Studies to replace those traditional STEM oriented AP courses so the student can be well trained whe they go on to college.
