No [BLEEP]. What do you think you're teaching anybody here?

The point was that blacks gained skills they could use to benefit them. When they eventually were able to work for themselves, they utilized those skills and were doing well with them. Not all, but some. They were progressing in every way right up until our broken [BLEEP] welfare system destroyed their family unit. It's a well-documented fact.

Just because a certain group of sociopaths want to manipulate people for votes instead of trying to give them a sense of common purpose and individual capability, doesn't mean anyone else should be forbidden from pointing out the ways blacks were proving resilient and independent. The people who wrote this curriculum used the model of Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery," according to one of the black, African American history professors that helped write it. They do not shy away from the horrors of slavery, or the difficulties blacks had to endure. Any attempt to say otherwise is just manipulation.

Here... from NPR. A link, since you can google everything except something that educates you:

The people complaining about it are ignorant and see blacks as victims only as far as I'm concerned, which makes them bigots. Why else should we be forbidden from talking about black accomplishment in the face of great oppression? I guess only the LGBTQ movement can have pride. Blacks can only be victims.
