What is going on in this picture? What the fuck is going through that black man’s mind? Is this some sort of sick joke? What’s the lesson here? Revenge? Teaching white kids to feel guilty for something that happened hundreds of years ago that they have absolutely no association with? This is the fallacy of reverse racism.
Why do black people hold so much contempt for whitey?
HEAVEN FORBID THAT wHITE CHILDREN WHAT BLACK PEOPLE EXPERIENCED FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS
HEAVEN FORBID A BLACK PERSON TRIES TO EDUCATE wHITE CHILDREN ABOUT WHAT THE SLAVE TRADE DID TO THE BLACK POPULATION
HEAVEN FORBID THAT BLACK PEOPLE TRY TO TEACH wHITE CHILDREN ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL EVER.
Go fuck yourself. If you have to ask why Black people hold “so much contempt for whitey”, then you are completely ignorant about race relations as a whole.
And, oh my bob, some schools actually teach Black history, and some don’t just put the focus on happy and smiling (read: shucking and jiving) Negroes? There were more Black people than just Dr. King? Well, we can’t have that, can we? No! This must be reverse racist! Also, adiedlfjalskdjfa!
That’s the problem, uncleuzi, you don’t know what the context is. You can’t speculate with such negativity when you have no idea what’s happening. The teachers are standing right there. That man has obviously been brought in for a purpose. There is obviously an actual lesson being taught here, but you weren’t part of the class, so you can’t know what it was. And going by the makeup of the class, the parents likely had to give permission for their kids to participate in the exercise.
Your anger/annoyance is wholly unwarranted, as those kids are not actually being sold into slavery. They’ll take off the chains and yokes, and go home just as white and wealthy as they were before, and be just fine.
FYI, I don’t have contempt for “whitey”. I have contempt for Whiteness and white supremacy (which doesn’t always wear white robes and hoods, btw). Big difference.
Honestly, I think for most people, a lot of our history is difficult to fathom. Not just because of white-washing, and toning done of the horrible things throughout human history, but because what is normal today is SO very different from what was normal and accepted in a past time. Sometimes I read articles or see ads even from the 50s and 60s, and I’m like… OH MY SHIT, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!? Because I just can’t fathom that someone would think that X is OK. Part of the job of education is to help students understand not just what happened, but why it happened, and its impact on society and even the modern day. And it’s hard to do that when our paradigm for what is acceptable behavior has shift SO drastically. I see NO PROBLEM with an object lesson that gives students even a small illustration of the “dirty” side of history. I can’t even contemplate my ass in a corset and big bulky skirt all day, and having to be “nice” and shut up and deffer to men… much less what life was like for people who had even LESS rights and LESS assurance of human dignity than I would have, as a white woman. If it gets even ONE of these kids to think critically about history, and where we’ve come, and where we are going, then it’s a good thing. WAY more present and has WAY more impact than just reading about it in a book, where we can divorce ourselves from the visceral reality of our shared past.
just leaving this here
Yeah, it must be reverse racism and “contempt for whitey” and not, you know, a history lesson or something.
Here’s the context, as far as I can see: this is obviously a classroom. The kids are in school uniforms. It looks like the adult is either a teacher or was brought in specifically for this demonstration. So I would imagine that what’s going through his mind is, “I am teaching these kids about a dark period in our history where we treated real human beings like this.” Not “LOL I HATE WHITEY, THANK GOD I SNUCK INTO THIS PREP SCHOOL WITH CHAINS TO SHOW THEM ALL WHY BLACK PEOPLE SECRETLY WANT TO KILL THEM!!!”
OP’s abject racism is just astounding.
