What point is the photo making? Is it the “history is being whitewashed” garbage that I’ve heard 1000 times? Interesting thing about history is that you are free to pick up whatever books you want or go online and research. If you depend on school to teach you everything that is their problem
I agree that schools do teach everything bad. Like with slavery I think it should be taught from a global perspective. So many educators just want to endless talk about every bad thing about the west
True. I remember Thomas Sowell had an open question to modern day “activists” about why they don’t try to help modern day victims of slavery instead of endlessly talking about slavery that ended over 150 years ago. I remember being very surprised when I first learned the scope of modern slavery/sex trafficking as well as when I learned in my early teens that African slaves were sold by Africans to the Europeans.
I remember being taught all the negatives. I lost sleep for the short time I was teaching 8th-12th graders US history because I was required to teach the negatives too. Out of fucking Howard Zinn no less.
I was in the deep south and I still got plenty of "slavery was the worst thing ever, the Confederacy were pure unredeemable evil who only wanted to be evil, and everyone from the South is racist retards."
In fact, every history class was Revolutionary War, Civil War, WW2 (Western Front only) on repeat forever until high school.
I learned about slavery and the Trail of Tears 100 times
Strangely, I was never once taught anything about the USSR besides the fact that they fought the Nazis. It wasn't until after I graduated high school that I discovered the full scope of the shit they did.
They already do. Although the descendants of the lady who was the model for Aunt Jemima we’re pretty pissed. Honestly all the issues in the world and this is what they wanted to focus on. But it’s the companies decision.

They should teach that it is still occuring

Same.
After going through public education, I think public school teachers simply shouldnt be paid or have unions.

Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben did need to get removed for racism. Quaker Oats sure is happy his complexion doesn't make him a racist symbol.
It seems like any day now, we'll be treating the party of the KKK and jim crow as saviors of the black man

The woke don’t actually care about black people, they care about sowing divisions.
Yea my parents taught me that luckily
The Actual Quakers have tried to get him removed numerous times. Every time its been treated as a complete joke and dismissed instantly.
And that's a specific religious group whose actual likeness is being used, instead of a vague likeness of a possible person.
