True Black American Heroes

...those of you who are new to knowing anything about black history or who wait for it to be spoon fed to you may want to consider gathering PROACTIVE information. On second thought, nah, effort towards an end not having a not-so-well-hidden agenda would be involved.

This "Oh, golly, gee whiz, who'd a-thunk it" fake amazement that such OLD FUCKING NEWS has suddenly come to light just because Beck or some other pointy-headed "fact pimp" brings this up for fill content to make the 20 minutes his internet tv show runs AND it winds up on YouTube is reason enough to 1) think, make that KNOW, it's bullshit or 2) it's an older than the hills chestnut - the case here.

Just excatly how many of you budding political and history theorists have even cracked a "modern" (post 1985) high school or freshman college history book or done the assigned reading? That's what I thought. And, you might also cast a thoughtful eye towards who buys text books for school districts. That would be the local school boards through a buying group - not the Federal Government - a little inconvenience called "local control." Now, you TPers quit arguing FOR the feds or some other "outside" entity to come in and dictate what should be taught in public schools. Or, you might reconsider your stance on teaching black history to white kids (a recommendation of the US Dept of Education - *gasp*). Your fatuous, ill-informed and mis-reasoned BOOLA-SHEET-AH is another reason to take the matches away from you. The reason you folks of this part of the country don't know much is because the right-thinking protectors of the "good old days" are on school boards across this wonderful (ha) state. Critical thought, things you don't just "know" (wink*wink) and differing viewpoints don't play too well deep in the heart of Texas.

Being exposed to thinking through controversial subject matter at an early age serves well as an innoculation against whatever it is you TPers have contracted from Beck, Faux Noise, the Cock Broz PAC, and other fair and balanced sources of ,ahem, "truth, justice and the Mellican Waaaaay."

You geniuses may now continue on your mission to spin ever more out of control with your spasms of "outrage" at something which has been well documented since roughly 1900. Too bad for you, as well as a comment on where you're coming from, that this is a new thing. Well, just because it's NEW TO YOU doesn't make it new anymore than an infant finding out that a stove is hot.

And, BTW, just for the hell of it - the Rev Al and other "leaders" of the black community made the big deal about this in the 1970s and 1980s. There was even a big push to get this information out during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the late 1950s and 1960s. But - I know, I know - most of you were in the throes of of incoherency, or overt, southern racism, or waiting on becoming a gleam in your daddy's eye back then.

Party on, dumb sh*ts, you've almost mastered filling up space without using content.

Wow.

Ever heard of Florence Nightingale? Everybody in the UK has.

Ever heard of Mary Seacole? Probably not. I never knew about her until my life worked in a building named after her. Look up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Seacole

Oh man, well shit. Are you telling me I haven't mastered it yet? I've been practicing for years. Damn you suck randy.




I got as far as (state dept suggested black history in our textbooks) and had to quit reading. I'm pretty sure this is the only time I'll ever agree with randy so I may as well stop now. Texas and California dictate what school books are for us and then alllll the other states use our model. So apparently someones dropping the ball in Texas.

Marshall Fuckup is uncreative and racist. If you find that funny, go with it. Others of us don't. To each his/her own. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

What we have are a bunch of dogs chasing their tails

His exploitative use of black dialect is just putting blackface on in writing. It's not funny. And, he's an idiot and doesn't even do it very well.

Which is why fuc'ers like you find him entertaining. Grown ups don't.

COF, at the risk of sounding -ist, this is a clear case of the pot calling the kettle - tan.

Go back Glenna, there's plenty in there for you to disagree with. Take the time to savor each and every one.

But, I can't pass on the part about "dropping the ball." Ain't no balls being "dropped." They are quite firmly possessed by right-thinking wizards determined to maintain or roll back the status quo. The real fools are the other states subscribing to the "10 zillion flies can't be wrong - eat shit" school of thought when following Texas' lead in anything intellectual. But, that goes to the expedience of "doing the public's business" and getting better prices for high volume text books. They'd be better off using a 25 year old text with supplemental assigned reading, but they aren't too vera smahrt. Guess some folks ain't heard of this here new fangled thang called the innardnet or other sources of books online.

Besides, Lewis Black grows on you and there's no antidote.

Of course the same could be said for me on certain subjects, But since most of us in here feel the same way I do on this one, that means we are all on a different plane of existence together, so my original statement is still true. HAHAHA That was a trip to write.

I'm white...and I don't feel guilty...just sayin'...

Keeping this focused I must say thanks LovingKayla Glenn Beck digging up this kind of history I would never have believed it. Still not a fan of GB but I tip my hat. I know the thread has been hijacked but Lovingkayla continue being who you are

IBH, sorry I used big words, sentences longer than 8 words and threw in some indisputable facts. This gets you a little out of sorts as we all know. But, my gawd, man, try to get past the third grade with your snappy counters. The pink fonts were, I'm sure, the coup de gras.
