"What they're worrying about is your kids learning about what white people did." Michael Harriot looks at the changes to school curriculums in places like Florida and Tennessee and finds that states aren't erasing Black history; instead, schools are leaving out white people's role in Black history. #BlackHistory #ErasingHistory #americanhistory

As the saying goes... imagine your history being so horrible and diabolical that you have to hide it
It's not hidden, it's just not a big deal.
@@MustardSkaven Genocide, murder, rape, human trafficking, pillaging, theft and planet destruction probably aren't a big deal to those who perpetrate it or benefit trillions of dollars from it. The denial, revision and omission is the essence of white fragility (and the propensity to just lie about everything).
NOT HIDDEN WE KNOW ABOUT SLAVERY IT IS EVERY WHERE ITS CALLED TRAFFICKING TODAY & UN FORTUNATELY IT HAS HAPPENED IN EVERY NATION TO EVERY COLOR & EVERY COLOR HAS OPRESSED A PEOPLE. NOT HIDDEN CANT BE YOU KEEP CRYING ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW BUT YA LEFT OUT MANY THINGS. BLAH BLAH BLAH
Have never heard anyone object to saying “enslaved people”

Write a book and I'll be the first to buy a copy insert all of these interesting subjects and topics from your podcast.
As a white man.....the only thing i worry about is not being able to have a "check-box"....I feel left out and discriminated against. Think about it...Check here (seven boxes)..if you are black, native american, indian, hispanic, american samora, island pacific, or a woman. There's NEVER a check box for "white man"....and the discrimination is worse if you're white, short, old, ugly and bald. In my opinion there only needs to be ONE BOX....that says check here if you are a "white male"....that makes things easier for everyone else having to select what they are.
Uh, the default is White, that is the assumption unless you check a box, White people are the expected norm, and I disagree because I have never seen one of these that do not include White and it is usually in first place of the list.
L0ser mentality
Imagine, thinking people are responsible for what their ancestors did delusional
correct..thank you
Imagine living out of the advantages that your ancestors passed down to you and refusing to acknowledgement it. Clueless.
@@gordonclare2036 We see it all the time when we fill out state-federal- government forms for need/assistance...there's never a for us poor white men at the end of the form where they asked about your race. Everyone's on there,even women...just the white caucasian male there's no box for us..have you ever thought about that? We are the most discriminated against....no help for the white man, white farmer,. black farmers got their loans forgiven-FREE, how is that fair?...and if your fat, ugly, bald and white...you don't count, you're invisible.

I'm not American but I have a question: what's stopping black people from teaching their kids about black history? I'm British-African and even though the UK schools only taught about the Transatlantic slave trade (from a UK ad Caribbean perspective) I only learnt about actual African history at home. Can't African Americans teach their kids at home? Then it wouldn't matter what De Santis and whoever try to do
We teach them at home as well. You get rid of a lot of stereotyping when black history is taught in schools , because you have people from Different countries that are in our schools as well, And their parents won't be teaching them our history at home, plus they can learn about black's being doctors, lawyers, mathematicians, Brain surgeons, and heart surgeons etc etc ect... The myth is black people are lazy, but once we stopped working for free "them ppl" started that BS.
@@sassyevans5116 Yeah thanks for that. By the end of the video I realised the main issue isn't necessarily what they teach black people but what they teach non-black people. The whole thing is pretty serious
Cry baby talk goes no where when we have traffickers & slavery going on now all over the world.
@@yblackieok I just read your second comment. For a second I was wondering how you could ask that first one after viewing the video.
I Am going to be nice here, because you didn't listen to what MH is saying here. February is a whole Black History Month. Black folks are amongst the most inventive people on the planet. Black people created a whole college educational system when we were forbidden to learn to read and write. Have you heard about Historically Black Colleges and Universities, (HBCU). The forbidden course was an A.P. Course meaning Advanced Placement ciurse where students would be able to receive college credit while still in high school. There are many advantages to AP courses that now cannot be earned in Black studies but earned in other disciplines, so the non-Black students who desperately need this information won't engage it because there's no reward for passing an A.P. course. 😮
Maybe if we become aware of our divinity then we don't see racism, prejudice and bigotry I think it's time we grew up This reality is full of suffering and fear Isn't it time to heal and move on and learn about what it truly means to be human beings with compassion and kindness Irish were slaves for 300 years in America, Australia and other places maybe if it was acknowleged we could get passed this How many generations will we pass racism down?
Avoiding speaking about it is how it is passed on. You must imagine some country where everyone is colorblind? That's definitely not America. We see race, and if you live here you see it to. Just not speaking about it doesn't change its understanding and use. Systemic and institutional racism are real, they both describe how racism doesn't need to be acknowledged and will continually create a racialized America with every generation.
The USA's unique color-based, constitutionally sanctioned, perpetually inescapable, race-based human trafficking system reduced human beings to chattel, so cease and desist comparing it to Irish indentured servitude. That's just disingenuous. You are on the wrong channel with this oversimplified rhetoric. If I am interpreting those run on sentences, bad spelling and lack of punctuation correctly, you are asking the wrong people to "get over it and just be human". For centuries, white generations have passed down their inherited racism; each one gets busy passing it to the contemporary ones. You can see it in elementary schools so that's how many, at least. People with innate bigotry have no divinity. Neither do those who expect the targets of their hate to "get over it". Just stop this now.
Want to know how LONG racism will last?!? ASK THE descendants of the EVIL ones who created the inequities and exploitation. You can't ask the child being abused WHEN is the parent going to get it together and stopping being a terror? I swear BETWEEN religion and social norms SOME people will NEVER get it. 🤦😳
We are talking about chattel slavery of which the Irish never were in the US or in Ireland pre 1800's when it was known as the Plantation of Ulster! The Irish came to the US voluntarily.
So you believe that racism isn't still deeply embedded in today's society? Maybe the concept of racism should disappear when racism does, particularly when people are still having to endure it every day.
