    He's a right winger. He believes it's the way to rule.

    I am reminded of my sister who once said without pause or irony to me, "I am so tired of [n-word]s complaining about racism."

    I'm not saying let's dwell on the awful stuff, but erasing history and "The Blacks people learned some mad-azz skills when they were slaves poorly-paid workers...."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell

    This gentleman is a respected scholar, not "a far right extremist" that spouts "total BS". You may not agree with everything he says, but it is important to not only live in one's own echo chamber.

    There are other sources that give more details - I don't have time to search for it right now - but I doubt this is made up or cya kinda of thing.

    Point is if they discussed it, and it appears that they very well did, there's no doubt they realized this could be an issue - and yet still chose to go forward with this language - and the AP AA course does not mention anythiing about black benefiting from slavery or black sourced violence at the Tusla massacre.

    This is debate is becoming archaic. Folks who really give a **** about this should open source detailed instruction on youtube like the Kahn Academy.

    I'm sure there are plenty of college grade lectures relating to AA history and ethnic studies online for infotainment, though I'm thinking more about the rigors of 3rd party (non-binding) accreditation with a track towards acing the AP exam.

    With AI, you could conceivably post course instruction/transcript on github, then let the speakerbot lecture straight from the script. This allows for revisions for AP compliance without much downtime, like a Wordpress for video, but geek tech and old fashioned education are like oil and water...

    The irony is the people who give the least **** about it probably are the ones who need that type of education the most.

    What part of what Thomas Sowell says do you think is "right wing" or "extremist"?

    Some substantiation of your concerns would be helpful.

    You don't need to know about AA history or even American History to become successful. I wish we reinforced knowledge and appreciation for civics and personal finance more often.

    Since we're a sprawling nation with 6/8 distinct regions, I guess nationalism should be taught, which fits in with history but yeah, don't really need it to be an adult...

    Oh no honey. I was referring to privileged kids not thinking this :[​IMG]

    Is a result of other races being inferior.

    Education should be more than teaching about how to be individually successful in a capitalist system.

    If it was just for the purposes for career advancement then the founders wouldn't believe public education as a requirement for a informed democratic society.

    Income is a better indicator of education, poo bear.

    Household wealth can be derived from inheritance and estate transfers.

    No shame being late to the game.

    That is, unless you give up to an unfair world and comfort yourself with hohos and ding dongs.

    Every right wing outlet has used his name so much I can't keep count. It's ****ing hilarious...like he represents the average negro.

    When the median white household has 10x more wealth then the median black household that is a massive massive difference in level of equity and assets.

    That means 10x more risk tolerance to invest or start a small business and significantly less fear about things like eviction or rising rent rates.

    Ya that makes a massive difference in outcomes and what type of environments the median choe experiences.

    Income says less than wealth

    It's just utterly stupid to put slavery had benefits into anything. Like what were they thinking?

    And of course you’re never triggered or hateful.
