That has been the case throughout history.

Or, is it that you are “unsatisfied” w/the degree of Black history taught? In predominately black districts where such history may be THE primary focus, is that “acceptable?”

Being that that degree is miniscule, I’m sure that many would be “unsatisfied”. And the curriculum in the majority black districts are the same as in the majority white districts.

Exactly. Those claiming that black history is taught throughout the school year are either from a different world from me or are dillusional. I shared the same sentiments as Chris Rock when he said that black history in school for him = Martin Luther King. And that was it. For me it was slavery and Martin Luther King. Beyond that, I grew up believing that people who looked like me had accomplished nothing significant to this country nor world.

Or, is it that you are “unsatisfied” w/the degree of Black history taught? In predominately black districts where such history may be THE primary focus, is that “acceptable?” As acceptable as a rural virtually all-white ditrict that may not cover much black history at all? Somewhere in between?

If all school systems and parents did this, Black History Month would not be necessary.

Just check the history it.

Who didn’t want Morgan in the White House rather than the Clintons? I know he is an actor who portrayed a brave and intelligent man, but what an actor![/quote]

I loved him in that role as well, Bonnie.

As for how history is taught today. I think schools are often getting it wrong no matter what race they are talking about. Why do we expect them to get it right when it comes to blacks? They will teach what will prepare kids for the liberal agenda.

Spotted this over at La Shawn Barber’s blog this morning:Morgan Freeman: Black History Month is “ridiculous” It’s a little early for Black History Month, but I thought I’d share. I don’t really like actor Morgan Freeman, but I wouldn’t mind…

In this post I tried to remember the admonishment from Judge Leonard White (Morgan Freeman) at the end of The Bonfire of the Vanities.

What’s not to like and admire about these statements from one of my favorite actors? (I started to type, “favorite black actors.”)

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

Personally, I think Freeman is one of the best in the business. He can elevate crap to respectability, make good films seem great, and (with the right people around him), help make great films classics (see Unforgiven).

In this way, I think Freeman is almost exactly like Gene Hackman (another all-time favorite), so much so that I frequently think of him as the “black Gene Hackman.”

That’s why Unforgiven is so great: Clint + Freeman + Hackman = Classic.

Sorry to deviate from the topic a little. I just love this guy as an actor. (Never did see Glory, though.)

As for him calling out Black History Month for the stupidity that it is, good for him.
