I am so tired of the CRT and other teachings used to divide our Nation. History good or bad needs to be taught, teach it All!

Let’s begin with the thought slavery began in the US!
The entire world had some sort of slavery, live-in domestic servants , indentured servants call it what you will. Read the Bible, slaves are mentioned there as well, the Israelites were slaves! Greece, Italy especially Rome, had slaves and England killed or enslaved Irish & Scottish citizens. The more one owned people the more wealthy they appeared to be!

Within the continent of Africa, stronger tribes would attack and keep the defeated people as slaves. Africa was well involved in the slave trade business when they learned how lucrative it was!
All European nations took slaves to ‘New’ lands in the now known as the continent of the Americas, including the Caribbean islands.

Now fast forward to US history. What bothers me are how some groups keep preaching the US is racist and embodies it to this day. I think they forget, the Colored person, Negro, Black or African American, did not get out of slavery on their own. Groups of White people were up in arms against the institution of slavery, the Republican Party was created due to slavery. The Nation went to war with White soldiers dying before Blacks entered the fray. White people aided in the Underground Railroad, but you won’t here about that either!

It was a White President Lincoln ( Became leader of the Republican Party) who issued the Emancipation Proclamation and pushed for the 13th Amendment ratified by a….Wait for it by a predominantly White Congress! Hmmm sounds like a really racist AMERICA!

The Civil Rights Act of 1957 & 1960, both passed by a predominantly White Congress & signed into law by White Republican President Eisenhower.

As I have written many times before, there will always be racist people with prejudices from all sides of the racial spectrum! That is just human nature. The question should be was there anything done by the US and or State Government to prevent racist actions. The answer undoubtedly is yes, but not given credit for their efforts. I will be the first to let you know if I see a “colored only” bathroom or water fountain or is denied entrance to a store or restaurant!

There are more mixed- race relationships than ever before ( just watch a few commercials)! I feel there are powers working to prevent us speaking to each other, to share thoughts, feelings and ideologies. We should agree to disagree but remain civil even become friends!

It is really hypocritical with it being MLK Birthday Holiday that people can speak his name in reverence, while demeaning his message in the same breath!

GOD Bless us and America!
