So the Smithsonian can’t show that slavery was bad?

[martin]

Does the Holocaust museum focus to much on how bad the death camps were?

Haven't been there but I bet they downplay the fun part.

It a HOLOCAUST MUSEUM. The Smithsonian isn't a slavery Museum.

Sorry but 400+ years of American history for black people IS slavery. You might have missed that if you had Top as a history teacher.

 

[Jarod]

Why don't they focus on the "good" stuff from the death camps then?

Sounds like PP's logic.

There were no good parts to slavery. If you think there were then why don't you go offer yourself up to be a slave. There are still places in the world where it happens.



LOL. If you think that AI is a good support for teaching then you weren't a good teacher. Sorry, sweetie. AI is simply too prone to errors at this point. Besides, a teacher should know the subject sufficient to teach it accurately.

Ergo: you must not have been very good.

QED.

There was no A! when I was teaching...
I didn't teach our African American History classes...
But my students had every opportunity to learn about their history....we could walk or take the bus...
Or just listen in and about the neighborhood...
Today, there are more resources than ever available...

I'm hoping that the person on this thread who thinks there were "good" sides to slavery will be able to find the silver lining in the death camps as well.

Well, that's not correct...

 

[FastLane]

Yeah, it doesn't contain the Pro-Slavery KKK-type stuff. Guess they are intolerant of intolerance.

You mean the organization that the Democrats started? Yes the Smithsonian has KKK exhibits. So they have you covered.

CLEARLY.

You'll be fine...

Are they highlighting the "good" parts to the KKK? I don't think so.

Very clearly...that's what i just said...

An example of bad education.

 

[QP!]

I guess we have to show both sides of slavery? The good and negative?

That is what Florida says and has added to the curiculum.

I mean... why focus on only the negatives like 'lack of freedom' when the slaves 'got work skills'...


... that the slave owners benefitted from.

 

[TOP]

There were no good sides to slavery.

There are triumphs and achievements that are widely celebrated and taught...that's part of the history...
Those are good things...

You better call them and tell them the good parts like when the lynched Republicans for signing up Blacks to vote. Those Democrats were a nasty bunch.

 

[AProudLefty]

Good things. Not "good side to slavery".

Bad to learn the truth about the KKK eh?

The Cambridge Guide to African American History

Klansmen, beside other diehard groups, violently resisted Reconstruction. Still defending the South, they fought Union Army occupation, Republican governments, and blacks’ freedom. Donning hoods and using secret titles, they took an oath to defend Christianity, the Constitution, and the white race, especially their women's purity. Loyal to the Democratic Party, the Klan enlisted men and women from all classes. Targeting Union Leagues (freedmen's political clubs), night riders harassed and often killed black and Republican voters and officeholders, burned black churches and schools, intimidated teachers, and stole elections. In the 1868 elections, alongside Knights of the White Camellia, they murdered 1,000 black and white Republicans in Louisiana alone.

We don't want the subject to divide us...like it is here...
Let's consider the best way to tell the story...

Education wasn't good to you, eh?
