When you say "Lack of education and knowledge of our history is how they keep us down." what exactly do you mean?Lack of education and knowledge of our history is how they keep us down. "Bread and circuses"
Welfare and reality shows
We need to educate the people, especially of propaganda and micro aggressions.
We need to be less reliant on their media and use our own which is why youtube, Twitter and tumblr have helped spread information and network to make a difference. Social media is a great tool. The coli counts as social media.
We also need to take care of our own. Give back to our community.
It can be something small.
Whenever my mom needed to clean her house or her closets she'd get the neighbors daughter or someone else in the community. And of the clothes she didn't want, they got to keep for themselves and their family. Hire black kids in the community to cut grass, shovel snow. Teach them the value of hard work. Give back and mentor.
A lot of kids don't know any more than then what they see around them. They don't think a positive future is available to them.
I agree that changes need to be made to the way history is taught (which I'm passionate about because I believe it's the key to progress and I also believe sociology classes coupled with history should be mandatory) but whenever I see some of the gripes about it on here I feel as though they aren't actually looking at the stuff in the textbooks which I'm acquainted with as someone who graduated this year, how much it is in relation to other topics, and what people take away from the lessons in proper perspective.
