COMMUNITY United States Politics Thread: Trump's Second Term

Knock_Twice said:
Did you see any black men talk about how the immigrants were taking the jobs in construction when Biden and Kamala was in office?

Was that a thing or did black men get jobs on the average?

We can do this all dayum day, for one boogyman post you make about Trump, I can make 2 boogey man post about Biden. They just canceling one another out bro.

That was bad too. Now what? Like I said, I don’t defend illegal immigration.

But what’s worse? Immigrants taking minimum wage jobs or white men taking well paying jobs?

To answer your question, No, I am more so to believe it comes from Trump before it comes from Kamala. I don't see a black immigrant granting something to a group of FBAs and they themselves or their own ethnic group doesn't get anything. Not happening.

To address the school situation and the so call removal of slavery and Jim Crow, let me ask you this, without naming the Holocaust. Who else did the US pay reparations to, what other victims?? And when you find out those answers, those groups, Did you learn about it in a English 4th grade textbook?

You do know that they don't talk about the many things that I listed in the Black History Month Thread.
You do know they don't talk about everything in a 3rd grade text book but that doesn't mean that it didn't happen

You can hide history but you can't erase it

The Asians that were put in the WWII internment camps received reparations. No I didn't learn about them in 4th grade but they didn't get the money then either. By the time they got the money, the history of what had been done them was well known and being taught about. Native Americans received something akin to reparations, and we definitely learned about them in school.

I'm not really sure where you're going with the rest of your post. The point I was making was that when you remove topics from common discourse, you make it easier to ignore them. Everybody is acutely aware of slavery now and we're still having a hard time getting reparations. How much harder do you think the fight will be in 50 years when there are people in power that don't really understand how bad slavery was because they were taught using books that referred to the slaves as immigrants or something like that?

That history about them internment camps was being taught to their own by their own You don't think those stories were taught to their kids and kids kids by their own folks? Do you think those victims were worried about white folks teaching their history?? Um No they weren't

My point is, it's up to black parents to teach black children about their own history. That's my point.

With many folks teaching things online, X, Ticktok more and more information about the greatness of black people will continue to come out.

I've learned more in this time about black folks than I did back in the gap when I was in school and those books had slavery and Jim Crow in it.

And let's be honest, they don't go into depth of what Jim Crow was all about and slavery.

The textbook gives a Disney side of the slavery era and Jim Crow era. You have to go outside of 'school' to learn about the real depth of these eras of history along with other eras of black history.
