Teaching White Supremacy with Donald Yacovone
Donald Yacovone, lifetime associate at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, discusses his book, "Teaching White Supremacy: America's Democratic Ordeal and the Forging of Our National Identity." He talks about the evidence of white supremacy’s deep-seeded roots in our nation’s educational system by looking at nearly 100 years of school textbooks. Yacovone finds that racism seeped in through Lost Cause narratives, exclusion of African Americans from the Slavery story, and flat out lies about the Post-Civil War period of Reconstruction. The most damning and surprising aspect is that these textbooks were written by and for Northerners after the Civil War, thus proving the point that White Supremacy was strengthened not eliminated in post-War American society.
DONALD YACOVONE is a lifetime associate at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, the author or editor of eleven books, the winner (with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.) of an NAACP Image Award for The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross in 2014, and a recipient of the W.E.B. Du Bois Medal from Harvard University in 2013.

    Hmmm. Just because a book is about a zebra, what it is starts with B! Not Z. Any of them who found books with the author’s name starting with the letter - yes. Title? Yes. Subject? Not unless it is the designated library location - “A” could be books in the Animal section if you have one, but it isn’t an animal. My taskmistress opinion (ruling?)

    Will you be doing more on Etruscan art? I feel a gap in my education when it comes to the Etruscans. It seems like many things that are "Roman" are named or are historically Etruscan. I was really stuck by the "lifelike" figures both carved and painted in their tombs, as contrasted with the Egyptian formal, standardized physiques. While the Etruscans had systematized facial features there was a certain energy in their hands and front facing hair styles. I find it interesting that the double stack of pillows shows up in the painted and the carved tomb beds. I don't think I've ever seen pillows before that resemble what I am familiar with in daily life. The neck pillow of the Egyptians looks very uncomfortable, more like a hat stand or store display. Do you know, has anyone tried the experimental archaeologist's step of replicating the Etruscan beds or furnishings? Thanks so much.

    Who K* ( Cruified ) Jesus Christ a Mexican, Chinese, Blackman, African, Indian, Asian, Eskimo, Indai, who rejected him the Jews and who K* Jesus Christ the white race not because of what he preached but simply because he didn't look and act like Dillion? ?Ruth ? It's impossible to make friends with White America Overall but on a individual basis it's possible? You can't make friends with them even Cruified Jesus Christ and that was the Son of God and he forgave them but they still hate anyone not born white ask Derrick Chauvin or Dillion Ruth.

    With a great deal of respect please review your thesis regarding women’s tooth loss related to pregnancy. The concept of calcium loss as a cause of pregnancy loss of teeth involves the mutation of endemic bacteria related to oral hygiene practices coupled with refined sugars .., In the time period referred to then tooth loss for all people, health status aside, was due to the lack of scientific thought regarding pyrogenic bacteria prior to the 18th century. Just a thought .. loved the dialogue. Dr. Thaddous Archie

      @healthiswealth6237 Před rokem

      @Yolanda TweeDeep the concept of race, solely based on skin color is fairly knew. Before the 1600s to say someone was a Christian was synonymous to saying that they were White. Whiteness is an ideology. It comes from a distorted view of the Bilblical Scriptures. In the Bible, white is pure, clean, free of defilement, or even sin. Anyone with a knowledge of the Bible knows this is not true, because we are ALL descendants of Adam, and have inherited sin, regardless of our skin tone. However, logic has never prevented a social construct from being taught as fact. Chris Rock, the comedian, joked once that a poor white person would NEVER change places with him, even though he is rich. The reason is that being White in our society supersedes all else, even a rich black man.
