it's culture....not race
In part, it was Frederick Douglass who discouraged Black People from organizing a mass movement away from the South. He was wrong, and untold suffering was heaped upon the free slaves, until the Great Migration, where many of them left without much on their backs but hope for a better future.

Even then, the north didn't want them, as few communities want newcomers who arrive with very little and have great needs.

The Elaine (Arkansas) Massacre occurred a few years prior to the Tulsa Massacre, and is believed to be one of the motivators for the Great Migration. In this tragedy, the Black sharecroppers (who outnumbered white farmers 10 to 1 in Elaine) attempted to organize for better farming conditions, against the typical sharecropper deals, which weren't better than slavery. It was at this point, that many Black people in the south realized Douglass was wrong, and they weren't beholden to stay there until they were all dead.

DeSantis Blocks AP African-American Studies Course for Breaking Florida’s Anti-CRT Law
Worthless crt left leaning and divisive garbage that has nothing to do with education, history, nor advanced studies.

KJP gave her opinion for the first time over this topic and she blew it, spewing utter nonsense.

If you want to take African American Studies, great, take the course and get the appropriate credits. Teach a bunch of leftist woke garbage too, we don't care.

But don't try to pass it off as an AP course or anything claiming actual factual history.

The BS is spelled out in the graphic Manny Diaz sent out, which is posted above. I'm sure that list is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the lies the left-wing lunatics are spreading in our colleges and high schools.

What part is untrue?

I read through the list of objectionable content, and thought . . . what part of this isn't true?

What part of this isn't someone's perspective and life experience?

You may not like their voice, but these are people telling their stories.

And we're not talking 5th graders here. AP courses are junior and senior high school classes.

It’s all false. Contrary to what the leftists and apparently you believe, America is a fundamentally good place despite its warts.

That's your voice, and your experience.

My experience in the US is also sunshine and roses. I've been treated extremely well by the social constructs and power structures. I am very patriotic, and love this country and believe it's the best on Earth.

But I'm very willing to listen to those who have a different perspective, and not call them liars.

But they are liars, and if you ever read the crap they write you’ll find out.
