Critical race theory: the truth Slavery happened in the US but it also happened everywhere else in the world and virtually every civilization was enslaved and conquered at one time or another, not just blacks. It also happened over 150 years ago when most of your ancestory didnt even arrive in this country yet. Unfortunately Slavery was normal for that time period as was searching for witches. Also, your great grandparents, grandparents, and parents had absolutely nothing to do with slavery. You have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. Unfortunately slavery still goes on today in Africa though. Everyone, White and black should be proud of their race and not dwell on atrocities that happened hundreds of years ago. Also, using slavery as an excuse for violent behavior will not be tolerated. Did you also know that hundreds of thousands of very brave white men from northern states died in battle because they were freeing the slaves during the civil war??? True. Did you know that many confederates faught just because they lived in the south and they were protecting their land, not necessarily slavery? Remember, all civilizations were enslaved at one time or another, it was normal for the time. Did you also know that white people in South Africa are being slaughtered and their land is being stolen by blacks? Also black Africans are being enslaved by other black africans and that is going on today!! White people made tremendous contribuions to society, can you name only 100? I know its an easy task. Remember, whether you are white or black, if you work hard and make responsible decisions, you will do very well for yourselves. If you make irresponsible decisions and somehow claim its not your fault and its due to systemic racism, you are a loser amd will never succeed. This is the Critical race theory that should be taught. Its called the truth. One final note. Did you know that prior to the ending of segregation and prior to the civil rights laws, black crime was MUCH lower than it is today? Its true. You would think it would be the other way around. How does more freedom equate to more violent crime in the black community?
its not ok but it was in our past and we cerainly arent going to do it again. We also had the Salem witch trials, does that need to constantly be talked about as well?
