Reverse CRT: Florida Upstages Texas In History Class Teaching About Slavery

Nah Republicans wouldn't have incentive to do that. Their racism towards Jews is about them "scheming" and being puppet masters. Their is no motivation to have that type of narrative. Remember their purpose for including how some Black slaves learned skills that benefited their ancestors is a way to instill the notion that any modern wealth divide based in race is due to individual lack of gumption. It's a way of saying that Black people don't have an excuse because the hard working slaves found ways to benefit their ancestors.

SO ya I don't even see why a GOP admin would include that hypothetical you referenced in a curriculum. There is no narrative that they are trying to push that requires such a line as you suggested.

GOP isn't racist just because. There is a personal self interest factor that drives them. Their goal is to maintain the current socioeconomic hierarchy. SO they want the American public to not have sympathy for the wealth divide so they want to brainwash from a young age in a school setting that these systemic issues have no effect on socioeconomic factors of various races and communities and that any divide is a pure result of communities failing themselves.

(1852) FREDERICK DOUGLASS, “WHAT, TO THE SLAVE, IS THE FOURTH OF JULY”

imagine playing this in front of students…these people are demonic

 

Many of the Founding Fathers thought slavery was wrong including some like Jefferson who owned slaves it is a certainly fair to call them hypocrites for doing so. The Great Compromise is probably the most controversial part of the the Constitution and the Founders knew it themselves. Most felt it was necessary to preserve the fragile union at the time and some did feel that all they were doing delaying an inevitable civil war over slavery.

Christopher Columbus in his time was actually considered a dreamer and bumbler who lucked into discovering the New World. He was reviled and considered even by the Spanish as too cruel. That is quite an accomplishment given the Inquisition was going on at the same time. That he likely was fine with race based slavery isn't surprising considering he was fine with exploiting and abusing even his fellow Europeans.

 

I haven't seen the Prager U video and can't watch it right now but Frederick Douglas felt left out of the dream of liberty as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

From his speech in the link:
"But, such is not the state of the case. I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak to-day? If so, there is a parallel to your conduct. And let me warn you that it is dangerous to copy the example of a nation whose crimes, lowering up to heaven, were thrown down by the breath of the Almighty, burying that nation in irrecoverable ruin! I can to-day take up the plaintive lament of a peeled and woe-smitten people!"

 

That wouldn't be allowed to be taught.
