Firstifall, I am against the whole concept of BLACK History, as if our truth needs to be approved by others to be validated. Simply include our stories in the American narrative, where it belongs point blank. Then dedicate the month of February to celebrate Black Excellence-- past to present.
the black history debate is another problem of systemic racism. The history of black people has now been made an "other" category. American History is what has happen within America, European history refers to Europe and African History refers to the continent of Africa. AMERICAN history need to be taught and include all colors and all the people that impacted America. African American history or Native American History can be electives but that does not exclude that both still NEED to be included in curriculums and ARE a part of American history, MLK is just as vital as FDR.
It already is taught all year. Just depends on who and where and what exactly about Black History is being taught. The question is very problematic especially for this network
◾Adrienne, if you learned about Ancient Greece, have you learned about the Greek🇬🇷 (300,000 - 900,000 people) genocide of 1915? Or Armenian🇦🇲 (> than 1.5 million people) and Assyrian (500,000 - 700,000 people) genocide of 1915? ◽How these people were sent to death marches into the Syrian desert (can reach up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit and nailed to a cross to mock them of religion? 🔻The Triumvirate of Pashas and the Techir law? 🔻The Adana massacres and those that took place even before that against native Christians? 🔻Do you know why eastern Turkey is now "scarcely populated"? ◾Do you know where the word "genocide" comes from? Why was it invented by Rafael Lemkin? ◾Do you know that those genocides were a Precursor to the Holocaust? ◾Do you know Hitler's Obersalzberg Speech?... No, you do not. ⛔That's why history keeps repeating itself P.S. No colonial country (aka the UK + plus its former colonies, Russia, Turkey will ever let the history of the indigenous people like those that I've mentioned, Native Americans and African Americans etc. to be told. Not on a state level on a large scale. Cause that is a part of white washing their crimes and making people forget where they come from and their history.
I agree with Adrienne. If kids are taught Ancient Greek history, then African American, Native American and Immigrant arrivals to the US should all be taught as well
Thank you, I totally agree with you. And I really appreciate you bringing up and including Native Americans. We are still here and yet we are always last to be included in these types of discussions or even thought about to be included or mentioned in these types of discussions
Of course Black History should be taught all year round. But it should be taught properly. Also Black History isn't just something associated with History in America or just Africa. Black History is all throughout the African and Caribbean diaspora. In the words of Nas "if the truth is told, the youth can grow"...facts or undeniable truth?
Facts!!! My only problem is the source of information and whether some teachers will do it justice.. I agree with Adrienne I think the curriculum needs to be written by black people and incorporate history outside of slavery
i feel like Tamar and Amanda really opened the conversation for the hosts to comfortable to talk about these kinds of topics, even though Tamar and Amanda aren't here anymore, I feel if they weren't a part of the show, the show wouldn't be what it is now, because they talked about these uncomfortable topics very early on but got a lot of backlash for "bringing up race" or "making it all about race" Amanda especially and fast forward to now, these kinds of topics are what they talk about all the time

Happy Black History month! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 To my fellow African Americans, what we’ve contributed to the United States is invaluable. The fact that we’ve been able to create our own powerful culture here as a racial minority, against all odds, is amazing. It’s complex and beautiful, we should be so proud. Love y’all 🥰
Thank you Garcelle, kids should be taught about everyone. They should talk about Muslims and middle eastern/ South Asian culture. We are always forgotten.
They didn't build and sacrifice like the Africans sorry it's the truth they paved the way for everyone else 🙏 don't speak about the suffering God bless mother Africa and Haiti ❤️🙏
I think also Americans need to let go of the idea of 'Kings and Queens in Africa'. I get why the narrative is so attractive but some people were farmers, cleaners, cooks etc. and there is absolutely no shame in that. There are still worthy and deserving of respect and recognition of their humanity and dignity.
I don't think that way of thinking is saying that ALL black folks in Africa were royalty but that SOME of us were. It's important to realize since we live in a country where every single one of us was deemed a sub-human.
@@mckenzie.8653 I think it's great how it's being used to uplift each other, which is definitely needed. I'm just a firm believer that though we are and continue to be amazing, we should not have to be in order to be lived, respected and regaled. I say this mostly because I feel that this narrative fed into this wakanda-like view of Africa to oppose the nonsense people have been taught the continent is. Each and every countries is complex and has some truly sad and horrifying parts to it and even more amazing and developed (pls don't read developed as just westernised) parts. I had to unlearn that because it fed into feeling like I had to be a model minority and I now think it can cause a more reductive view of Africa and its people's humanity.
Yes that’s all over the world. But in America people are taught that black peoples started as slaves and that’s it. so we do need to know about civilization of all levels before slavery. Knowing that your ancestors weren’t just slaves while the rest of the world had royalty influences the way kids perceive themselves and their cultures
Ive noticed when Adrienne and Jeannie speak about men they keep saying I don’t think women are doing this or that. Say what you want to say and don’t judge nor generalize other women? Loni and Garcelle always approach as an open group, including themselves, Jeannie and Adrienne need to learn that.
They’re saying “ women “ because it could be a common thing... let’s not act like either gender group says “ women do this “ or “ men do that “ it’s not generalizing and making it seem like all people within that group do it but in general because we can’t say all women do it they just shorten because there are women who do do that or men that do do that certain thing when they speak of that action...
@A rose is a rose lol Adrienne has gotten better. In earlier seasons she was the head of the pick me's association😂 Jeannie just became a pick me now recently. Don't know if it's Adrienne's influence since they're friends or her need to hold onto Jeezy.
@@omphilemoerane2569 I think it’s definitely jeezy😂 Remember she was talking about how she needs to be submissive to him? She would never say that about her ex lmao
I think Black History should be a curriculum within itself in the sense that it can be a class where atleast for a semester African American History you learn about more than just Slavery , MLK & Harriet Tubman... but like learn Black Panthers , Shirley Chisholm ... etc and I think we need to stop with the lows and then the sudden highs... like let’s go through every little thing !!! Like this month shouldn’t be the only month which is the SHORTEST btw to let that be a thing... I think all history should be told accurately and fairly
Erykah’s advice could go both ways though... we talked about this a few seasons ago where communication is needed in a relationship for it to work but communication needs to be 75% Listening and 25% Talking... If you seek to understand rather than to be understood a lot of the small issues that become bigger due to arguing wouldn’t be the way they are now if you listen to listen rather than listen to respond !!! You gotta let your man be open to you and allow him to get his point across and speak his feelings! Make that man feel secure in knowing that you’re his best friend and his support system no matter what !
Thank you addrienne. They dont talk at all about the rich history of Africa and our Egyptian roots and how great we were and can still be. Its always about slavery
@@amourtoujours779 What other groups are you referring to? We also have Hispanic heritage month, Asian/pacific islander history month, and native American history month because other groups don't feel they're learning enough either. If they knew their history so well and the public school system worked so well, they wouldn't require it, right?
I think that if American history was just taught truthfully IN GENERAL then we wouldn't have a white-washed history. Like be truthful about how Native Americans were treated by white settlers. Be truthful about how life was like back then. I also think it would be better if they had Native American Studies/Latino Studies/African American/Asian/Middle Eastern studies for one semester from elementary through high school. That way the younger generation can continue learning about different cultures throughout their formative years.
You guys have fans from all over, please stop sending greetings only to America...maybe jus say hello to everyone. ...cus Am here supporting all the way from the Caribbean...
I do believe, you should be your man's peace. Especially for a black man, when he leaves the house everyday, you never know if he is going to come home safe. You can be respectfully critical like you want him to be of you.
So true Loni. They will say when you listen. When a person shows you who they are, believe them. Great advice Adrienne. Black History should be taught EVERYWHERE.
This is so important!!! You can't be a man's therapist. If he is going through real trauma, of course you have to be there for your partner, but you can't fix all his issues
They need to teach Black history in all schools in the U.S.! Black people have contributed so much to the history of the U.S. they made the U.S. what it is today! Black people have influenced everything from culture, looks, music, etc. Also, they need to teach racism in all schools especially for white folks. Black people, POC, and indigenous people talk about racism in their own homes, but you never see white people talking about what racism is. The people who get discriminated against always educate their own kind of what racism is, but you never see the people who do the discriminating ever get educated about what they're doing wrong.
I agree I think black history should be taught in every school and black inventors also because when I was younger my mom had my sister and I in summer programs were we learned about black inventors etc so now as a mom I have teach my daughter about black inventors and about our history !!!!!
Erykah Badu has no magical way to keep any man. No one has. You can do everything and he might still leave. I would never listen to advice from Jennie or Adrianne. They are always acting like they are experts on men. 💀 I've been in a 20+ years interracial marriage and believe that marriage is 50/50. As much as women need to do this or that, so do the men in the same degree. 😏
I wouldn't look at it that way. I would look at it as what do people really desire in a mate. What if men said, women can leave and take your money if I provided for her and protected her. Therfore I don't care about doing those things? How would you feel? The same about being peace for a man.
Adrienne, exactly!!!! 👏👏👏👏During the 1300s while Europe was troubled with the Black Death. Teach Africa before slavery. People were greatly surprised about Black Panther and why we were portrayed as royalty. It existed among us and no one knew
So in America the history of native Americans isn't in the curriculum? In Australia we learn about the indigenous Australians and their history in every grade. From k to 12, each year the curriculum introduces and touches on the different stories depending on the age of the children. For example younger grades learn about the dreamtime stories and arts. Then in high school we learn about the colonisation and stolen generations
@@ghadeera1642 nope. we learn false history about native americans. the only truth we learn is that there was a genocide. everything in american texts books is white washed.
@@ceterisparibus8966 I'm not too sure tbh but I'd assume pretty recent as this stuff was still going on in the 70s. But I want to add although they do teach us about their history and are apologetic about what they did to the aboriginal people there will remain to be some white washing to an extent and even with all the education we get the Aboriginal people are still oppressed today and mistreated and are victims of police brutality as well as racism and discrimination.
Of course it should be taught. I live in Canada and when my kids went to school, Black History Month wasn’t celebrated all that much. They touched on it a bit but not much. As a “White” parent, I would embrace it at home and teach my kids myself about black history.
I remember in school we were supposed to dress up as an influential black person for BHM, I picked Serena Williams, and my teacher was like... I mean yea that works lol. The whole class was Harriet Tubman, Fredrick Douglas, as if black history ended then. Looking back it was from the influence of my parents, black history was any time it could be. They wanted to make sure I knew how influential black people, especially women STILL ARE
History is a mandatory class in schools where I’m from 🇯🇲. We learned about Caribbean, American, European history, The World Wars 1 & 2, Slavery, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and how Indentured came to the Caribbean. So glad I learned all that in school. Kids need to be aware of these things.
I went to Erma Henderson Institute in the fourth grade and they were considered a Pan-African school. We sang the black national anthem every morning and learned multiple languages. We are still here and keeping it going, the truth will always survive!
Dating and relationships isn't complicated. There are no secrets. The harsh reality is the truth about how dating and relationships actually work people need to learn from an early age...true or correct?
@@ceterisparibus8966 it's a lot to say in one comment which is why we as in The Alkebulan Trust have online courses on how dating and relationships actually work that is where you will find your answer.
I agree with you ladies just listening to each other and laughing together. Singing together. I am my man peace.and he is my peace.together we're peaceful and happy in love
I am Someone who has been married for the last 20 years and been in a relationship with said husband for 27. I can tell you it's based on our friendship we have with each other. A Friendship built in love, trust and understanding of who we are to each other. Believe me Marriage is hard But If you are with that person you are truly meant to be with it, you know that person who can love and receive love right back is As easy as breathing.

Black History Month. We are the culture and movement! Let's go ladies ❤✨ black is beautiful, bold, resilient, powerful and excellent 💯 I am celebrating all year, not only for one month. Btw all y'all look gorge 😍 I love the color theme today!
And Porsha whose grandfather was a civil rights activist, thought the Underground Railroad was an actual railroad. 😂😂💀 And now she miraculously has an interest in BLM. 😉
Fun fact the Taíno's weren't indian, they're simply the indigenous people of the Carribean islands. Christopher Columbus & co. called them indians because they're skin was brown the same as Native Americans who aren't American indians!
Actually, Chrissy C. w/ the intelligence like that of the last W.H. occupant thought he was in India, therefore labeled the indigonous people as Indians.
Can we stop with the if you dont do it some other woman will. Like why do I have to push my limits and boundaries for a man. Like I matter. I'm important too. If a man wants to leave let him, he doesnt love and never did.
It's just a warning. Sometimes in relationships people get comfortable and can't see beyond what makes them happy and that saying I think is a little reminder that your partner can always find that extra....(just like you could) so to put in effort, listen to your partner, make them feel appreciated, go the extra mile, etc. (Of course they should be doing the same for you.)
@@Rio_Monique No in reality I'm right. When you factor in that most women have to work in order to support their housing costs, travel costs, food costs, car costs, emergency costs, utilities cost, phone costs, and maybe even child or children costs, that's a lot to factor into everyday life. Then add a man who's nagging you for this that and the third, and let's just say the third is having sex in random ass places or better yet a threesome, and then he says if you won't another woman will....like tf??? That man never cared and only liked what he had in the moment. So he can leave. I for one am an independent woman, and dont tolerate bullshit ultimatums.
In school what’s required shouldn’t be cool stories but what’s going to benefit us in the future. The truth about Problems in history and how they were solved.
I definitely think we have the same problem in South Africa because the history i learnt in primary school and junior high school was just selective. However, with the kind of history that our country and continent has i guess that was and still is convenient for some.
So glad Loni took. Month off from Alcohol. Without realizing it she took a Month off from Sugar. The average bottle of whiskey is made with 20 percent Sugar.
Adrienne is right..we here in Kenya know all about the world war, European Union, Asian history, and world population etc etc ...with the way we consume western content we have taken that into our day to day lives like the colonizer is deep-rooted in our society it is insane(neo-colonialism) I personally do not mind but we have neglected our own cultures and seriously adopted western culture sometimes fused with own. We lack identity because our cultures have been rapidly eroded over the years.
To this day, it makes me so angry that I didn't know anything about Kathrine Johnson, Mary Jackson, or Dorothy Vaughan until Hidden Figures came out. How are three mathematicians who happen to be black and women not considered important enough to have in school curriculum? There are so many REAL heroes in various cultures in America that we have never been told about. Our education system needs to be restructured ASAP.
After hearing these ladies talk about History on THE REAL today... I just have to meet Lonnie, Adrian Jeannie Mai & Garcelleeeeee and I still want to meet Tamara🙂 Wow, You ladies Hit hard on everything topic.
Black history is too vast to just be about American black history. African history , Aboriginal History, Carribean History, Indigenous American history. We get taught every european history available lol
#1... First and for most, teach the beginning of America, the true beginning. Teach children about Native Americans. Teach about their culture and traditions. Teach them about all the tribes and languages still spoken in the United States. Teach American children about how this isn't white land. This is Native American land. Teach them this IS stolen land and we continue to disrespect and mistreat Native Americans.
What year was Hispanic Heritage month created? I don't remember learning or celebrating it while in school. I didn't even know Asian American heritage month existed until few years ago. Black history month is memorable to me because it's widely spoken about in school, public places, and in media. I do agree they should expand it though and make sure it's accurate to history. Maybe they need to add Black history as an elective so we can learn about it in-depth. Schools should offer more electives! I felt like there wasn't much for me to choose from that interested me. School needs a whole revamp! It's a lot to learn and I guess not enough years.
If you’ve been watching The Real since season 1 you’d know that Adrienne and Jeannie both have always been relatively naive. What they’re saying isn’t shocking....

She's always looking at herself in the camera 🤣
They need to teach Black history in all schools in the U.S.! Black people have contributed so much to the history of the U.S. they made the U.S. what it is today! Black people have influenced everything from culture, looks, music, etc. Also, they need to teach racism in all schools especially for white folks. Black people, POC, and indigenous people talk about racism in their own homes, but you never see white people talking about what racism is. The people who get discriminated against always educate their own kind of what racism is, but you never see the people who do the discriminating ever get educated about what they're doing wrong.
Loved this convo! The Black History aspect, and allowing men to be vulnerable, listening to them, being his peace. 💙💙💙
I agree I think black history should be taught in every school and black inventors also because when I was younger my mom had my sister and I in summer programs were we learned about black inventors etc so now as a mom I have teach my daughter about black inventors and about our history !!!!!
Loni looks soooooo pretty 😍
Black history is AMERICAN history. It needs to be taught in schools. Period.
I think all history because keep in mind America’s diversity. Also since America first only had 13 states to begin with.
Erykah Badu has no magical way to keep any man. No one has. You can do everything and he might still leave. I would never listen to advice from Jennie or Adrianne. They are always acting like they are experts on men. 💀
I've been in a 20+ years interracial marriage and believe that marriage is 50/50. As much as women need to do this or that, so do the men in the same degree. 😏
I agree with you 100%. I also added a comment saying it should be both ways.
I wouldn't look at it that way. I would look at it as what do people really desire in a mate. What if men said, women can leave and take your money if I provided for her and protected her. Therfore I don't care about doing those things? How would you feel? The same about being peace for a man.
lesson one in the revised history books should be: Africa is a CONTINENT. Not a country.
Loni,that suit is so good am proud of you too sis
Some men out here only talk about they're feelings once every 6 months. I think I can be his peace twice a year 😍
KRKRKRKR
Adrienne, exactly!!!! 👏👏👏👏During the 1300s while Europe was troubled with the Black Death. Teach Africa before slavery. People were greatly surprised about Black Panther and why we were portrayed as royalty. It existed among us and no one knew
Men take Women for granted!!!!
and hispanic history and natice american history.
Loni just said this as well.
So in America the history of native Americans isn't in the curriculum? In Australia we learn about the indigenous Australians and their history in every grade. From k to 12, each year the curriculum introduces and touches on the different stories depending on the age of the children. For example younger grades learn about the dreamtime stories and arts. Then in high school we learn about the colonisation and stolen generations
@@ghadeera1642 nope. we learn false history about native americans. the only truth we learn is that there was a genocide. everything in american texts books is white washed.
@@ghadeera1642 That's nice to know. Since when did they begin including the history of Aboriginal Australians in the curriculum in Australia?
@@ceterisparibus8966 I'm not too sure tbh but I'd assume pretty recent as this stuff was still going on in the 70s. But I want to add although they do teach us about their history and are apologetic about what they did to the aboriginal people there will remain to be some white washing to an extent and even with all the education we get the Aboriginal people are still oppressed today and mistreated and are victims of police brutality as well as racism and discrimination.
We can learn about Ancient Greece but they won't learn the bare minimum about other cultures... We've got to do better with he curriculum...
Loni is GLOWINGGG! 🌟🌟🌟
Loni is so smart. She has a really wise take on things.
Loving Loni's challenges! LOL
Of course it should be taught. I live in Canada and when my kids went to school, Black History Month wasn’t celebrated all that much. They touched on it a bit but not much. As a “White” parent, I would embrace it at home and teach my kids myself about black history.
Here in South Africa alcohol was not allowed to be sold this whole January. So we had a compulsory Dry January. 😅 its open now though... lol
I'm so proud of those kids advocating for themselves!👏👏👏
Love the black history talk 🙌🏽
Jeannie, history books are rewritten. Sadly, they take out key points in history to try and clean it up to make it seem kid-friendly.
I remember in school we were supposed to dress up as an influential black person for BHM, I picked Serena Williams, and my teacher was like... I mean yea that works lol. The whole class was Harriet Tubman, Fredrick Douglas, as if black history ended then. Looking back it was from the influence of my parents, black history was any time it could be. They wanted to make sure I knew how influential black people, especially women STILL ARE
History is a mandatory class in schools where I’m from 🇯🇲. We learned about Caribbean, American, European history, The World Wars 1 & 2, Slavery, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and how Indentured came to the Caribbean. So glad I learned all that in school. Kids need to be aware of these things.
I went to Erma Henderson Institute in the fourth grade and they were considered a Pan-African school. We sang the black national anthem every morning and learned multiple languages. We are still here and keeping it going, the truth will always survive!
Loni is so beautiful!
Dating and relationships isn't complicated. There are no secrets. The harsh reality is the truth about how dating and relationships actually work people need to learn from an early age...true or correct?
What is the truth about how dating and relationships actually work?
@@ceterisparibus8966 it's a lot to say in one comment which is why we as in The Alkebulan Trust have online courses on how dating and relationships actually work that is where you will find your answer.
I agree with you ladies just listening to each other and laughing together. Singing together. I am my man peace.and he is my peace.together we're peaceful and happy in love
History taught here in America has been reduced so much.I love history and I know I did not learn an censored version.
Ayye good job Loni!! 😂😂❤️
I'm loving the color coordination ❤🤍🖤
Am so happy Garcell fits right in with the ladies the chemistry is great
I haven't agreed with Adrienne more than this chat!!!
Yasssss they killed it bro!
I am Someone who has been married for the last 20 years and been in a relationship with said husband for 27. I can tell you it's based on our friendship we have with each other. A Friendship built in love, trust and understanding of who we are to each other. Believe me Marriage is hard But If you are with that person you are truly meant to be with it, you know that person who can love and receive love right back is As easy as breathing.
People listen to each other. It is not just men and women!

Congratulations to you Loni Love
This is so off topic but I gotta say...Loni's make-up is on point...she looks so pretty :-)
Loni giving me back in the Queen Latifah Ladies First vibes😍
I was just thinking the same thing
Adrienne is on point.
Lmfao all the ladies said lies you tell to Loni in the end 😂😂...
Black History Month. We are the culture and movement! Let's go ladies ❤✨ black is beautiful, bold, resilient, powerful and excellent 💯 I am celebrating all year, not only for one month. Btw all y'all look gorge 😍 I love the color theme today!
Adrienne with the facts!!!!!!
i like loni, just don't know why she feel she has to explain everything.
Hey Loni! I'm with you ❤ Reducing sugar and carbs
And Porsha whose grandfather was a civil rights activist, thought the Underground Railroad was an actual railroad. 😂😂💀
And now she miraculously has an interest in BLM. 😉
Oooh.
Fun fact the Taíno's weren't indian, they're simply the indigenous people of the Carribean islands. Christopher Columbus & co. called them indians because they're skin was brown the same as Native Americans who aren't American indians!
Actually, Chrissy C. w/ the intelligence like that of the last W.H. occupant thought he was in India, therefore labeled the indigonous people as Indians.
loving the real lately
Can we stop with the if you dont do it some other woman will. Like why do I have to push my limits and boundaries for a man. Like I matter. I'm important too. If a man wants to leave let him, he doesnt love and never did.
It's just a warning. Sometimes in relationships people get comfortable and can't see beyond what makes them happy and that saying I think is a little reminder that your partner can always find that extra....(just like you could) so to put in effort, listen to your partner, make them feel appreciated, go the extra mile, etc. (Of course they should be doing the same for you.)
@@Rio_Monique don't agree with that at all. There should be no warnings. Or ultimatums just love
@@kyra5803 In a perfect world you'd be right....good luck.
@@Rio_Monique No in reality I'm right. When you factor in that most women have to work in order to support their housing costs, travel costs, food costs, car costs, emergency costs, utilities cost, phone costs, and maybe even child or children costs, that's a lot to factor into everyday life. Then add a man who's nagging you for this that and the third, and let's just say the third is having sex in random ass places or better yet a threesome, and then he says if you won't another woman will....like tf??? That man never cared and only liked what he had in the moment. So he can leave. I for one am an independent woman, and dont tolerate bullshit ultimatums.
@@kyra5803 Good for you ma'am. My point has been made. I will not explain further.
'Black history' should be included in WORLD history, all year long.
In school what’s required shouldn’t be cool stories but what’s going to benefit us in the future. The truth about Problems in history and how they were solved.
I definitely think we have the same problem in South Africa because the history i learnt in primary school and junior high school was just selective. However, with the kind of history that our country and continent has i guess that was and still is convenient for some.
It's been dry January for the whole of my pregnancy... I cant wait until after breastfeeding to have a glass of wine.
Ayyyye denver in the house!!! DPS lol
Yes,in Africa here we have kings and queens
So glad Loni took. Month off from Alcohol. Without realizing it she took a Month off from Sugar. The average bottle of whiskey is made with 20 percent Sugar.
loni such a sweet, kind, old soul lady
Adrienne is right..we here in Kenya know all about the world war, European Union, Asian history, and world population etc etc ...with the way we consume western content we have taken that into our day to day lives like the colonizer is deep-rooted in our society it is insane(neo-colonialism) I personally do not mind but we have neglected our own cultures and seriously adopted western culture sometimes fused with own. We lack identity because our cultures have been rapidly eroded over the years.
I’m finally early☺️
To this day, it makes me so angry that I didn't know anything about Kathrine Johnson, Mary Jackson, or Dorothy Vaughan until Hidden Figures came out. How are three mathematicians who happen to be black and women not considered important enough to have in school curriculum? There are so many REAL heroes in various cultures in America that we have never been told about. Our education system needs to be restructured ASAP.
After hearing these ladies talk about History on THE REAL today... I just have to meet Lonnie, Adrian Jeannie Mai & Garcelleeeeee and I still want to meet Tamara🙂 Wow, You ladies Hit hard on everything topic.
Yessss A. 👏🏼
Black history is too vast to just be about American black history. African history , Aboriginal History, Carribean History, Indigenous American history. We get taught every european history available lol
... every time you come to your traffic light in towns, cities, ect...that is Black history.....
What man has Erykah kept she has three kids from three different men 🤣
LOL.
yes black history should be taught all year
#1... First and for most, teach the beginning of America, the true beginning. Teach children about Native Americans. Teach about their culture and traditions. Teach them about all the tribes and languages still spoken in the United States. Teach American children about how this isn't white land. This is Native American land. Teach them this IS stolen land and we continue to disrespect and mistreat Native Americans.
Garcelle yes !! I wish that in my school did more
Covid needs to go!!! I miss y'all together🙁❤️💯
What year was Hispanic Heritage month created? I don't remember learning or celebrating it while in school. I didn't even know Asian American heritage month existed until few years ago. Black history month is memorable to me because it's widely spoken about in school, public places, and in media. I do agree they should expand it though and make sure it's accurate to history. Maybe they need to add Black history as an elective so we can learn about it in-depth. Schools should offer more electives! I felt like there wasn't much for me to choose from that interested me. School needs a whole revamp! It's a lot to learn and I guess not enough years.
If you’ve been watching The Real since season 1 you’d know that Adrienne and Jeannie both have always been relatively naive. What they’re saying isn’t shocking....
They really All Lives Mattered Black History Month chile I can’t 🙄😴💤
