White people have no problem writing people off based on what they say. It's black people who have this problem cause by nature we're accepting of others. But cats don't wanna understand this.

In my opinion, he didn't hate white people, he just understood that they were apart of the unpleasant black experience in America, therefore, they couldn't be apart of our efforts to mend the community

:ehh: I think that's the most sensible way to phrase it in this thread so far.

true. i grew up in a really diverse area, reflected in teachers and students in local schools. im sure its not taught effectively or at all everywhere
Maybe in Mo county, not in PG, that wasn't taught, not in the general social studies class. shyt was just a little section on slavery, Booker T, Dubois, civil rights and Martin. Unless you took AA studies, which was only available in certain schools. In English class, didn't learn a damn thing about Black writers

I was just about to wonder if I went to school in a bizarro world, because I remember it being required reading in my English class in HS.

Trying to think back on all the things we read in HS for English classes, all I can remember right now is one Greek myths class, Catcher in the Rye, Brighton Beach Memoirs, The Crucible, and Malcolm's autobiography. :mjlol: I couldn't stand assigned reading in those days.
