Incorrect. I went to an HBCU and black history and culture class was required. Niggas failed out of that shit. Don't underestimate how little some black people know about our history or how little some black people care about our history.

I feel you, but this isn’t history I don’t think. If a black person doesn’t know how to be anti-racist against his own people then I don’t know what to say. Maybe they’ll have a flourishing career at Fox News one day.
