This is a follow-up to a previous post. In my opinion the systemic racism narrative being pushed is a vehicle to revive the Black vs White agenda. This can only divide this great nation.

Black Americans especially the children need to learn ALL of the history, not the limited sections that BLM wants to feed them.
Slavery and indentured servants were institutions well developed in Europe, African, and Middle Eastern nations well before anyone thought of the coming to North America!
Africans enslaved Africans and ultimately sold Africans into the lucrative slave trade!

Now fast forward to the American experience, yes there were White people who were “slave owners” that were evil and cruel, however there were those that clothed, fed and even educated those slaves under there control. That is why so many Blacks wanted to run back to their slave masters. There were Blacks who owned slaves, with the reasoning, they were protecting them.

For those want to push White hate, look at history again…

The Emancipation Proclamation passed by a White President 1863 – The 13th Amendment passed by White politicians 1865 – Civil Rights Act vetoed by a Democratic President but overrode by a White Congress the second time 1866 ratified 1870 – 14th Amendment ratified 1868. All this took place before the First Blacks elected to the Senate and House in 1870!

Since then more Blacks have been elected to Local & State positions, to Congress and eventually as President of the US. The questions, should be asked.. what have they done for their constituents.
Good, Bad or Indifferent, our HISTORY, All of our HISTORY should be taught and learned from so we as a Nation can learn from past mistakes and see the progress we have achieved. “ Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. Due to our failures to heed this warning we ARE now reliving the riots of the 1960s and those that followed.

All children regardless of color, race or creed come into this world without prejudice and fear. They play with whomever will play with them. Hatred and prejudice is taught and it needs to stop now. Teach them well. Teach them with honesty. Teach them humility but they all have inner strength and abilities to succeed. Give them the tools so they can succeed, not words of hate and divisiveness.

This Nation is not a racist Nation but a Nation that has racist & prejudiced people of all spectrums. In fact this World is full of racist & prejudiced people. Prejudice may never be eradicated but it can be over come with honest conversation and healing.
