Learn Your History. . . [I Want to Share Little Known Black History Facts]

If you have never taken college level African American History, you are doing yourself a disservice. Schools don't teach you what you should know. Not only black people need to know this, but white people as well. Our history is shared, no matter how terrible it is. Education is the quickest route to understanding. What they teach us in school is so whitewashed and watered down. You need to know the nitty-gritty. The shit that keeps you awake at night. You need to know how slavery, prejudice, and racism is still infecting the black community today. Yes, I support trump. Yes, love white people and all people. But, if white people love us, then they will do what is right. Educate yourself today. That is enough. If college is not accessible to you, there are plenty of articles and youtube videos available for those who want to learn. Take it from me, it is not easy to do. This history will be painful. For both black and white people. But, just because something is scary or painful does not mean we should ignore it. Black lives and all lives matter. This is not just black history, it is white history as well. It is also present day. Help yourself and your neighbor by building compassion through knowledge. If you follow my page, I will share black history facts once a week for the next few months. I will also post some documentaries that will assist with your learning!

Thank you so much saucy
This is one of the most reasonable posts I've read in a long time. Thank you!
I agree with you 100%! I believe that ALL LIVES MATTER!! Nobody deserves all the hate that is going around. We're all human and that's it!! I don't care if you are a different color than me. If you treat me with respect then I'll treat you with respect. Nobody should be treated any differently just because of the color of your skin!! There's always going to be both good and bad people in every race.

i am a firm believer that you shohld study past history so you dont make the same mistakes in the future. History may hurt and may not be nice but we shohldnt just erase what we dont like. study it and learn from it.

Do you mean African history or American history with a black focus?
