Growing up outside Atlanta, Stephen Weatherly says around 95% of his knowledge of African-American history was learned at home, from his mom and grandmother.
One lesson about his own races history in America that still sticks with the Vikings defensive end came from watching Roots, the television miniseries based on the story of Kunta Kinte, a Gambian man who was sold to an American slave owner. Weatherly was in middle school when he watched with his mom; she was the one who explained to him the meaning behind the famous scene in which Kunta Kinte is tied up to a tree and ordered to be beaten until he accepts the name, Toby, that was given to him by his white slave master.

Grown men who follow these bums and their games makes the job of #MAGA much harder.
:: start a magazine called Whitey ::
Call it “Blanc” and feature Euroweenie metrosexuals (cough!).
Run articles about Jihad Farooq Qari and his coming of age in BFNahm. Feature Macron and his struggle to become a politician. AL Gore’s seminary years as a misunderstood 3-point Calvinist. So many white guys out there that the left can’t bitch about.
Genealogy is one of my hobbies. I love history.
I tried to watch Finding your roots on Amazon. The first installment was with one of the Marsalis brothers and Harry Connick Jr. It was a PROPAGANDA filled episode with the usual “every single black person to ever come to the US was a slave”, “the Civil War was only about slavery.” This SJW program is a continuation of the lies.
'Inspire Change (da channel)!!'
There.
Just another reason not to watch the NFL. One only has to read The Bell Curve to understand what is really going on. Even Darwin in his famous book commented on sub-species of humans!!
The NFL should spend money on teaching kids how to read since the schools are majorly failing the students in this regard. But I guess that’s the intent: keep them illiterate lest they learn the truth about democrats who won’t allow them to leave the plantation.
What they should be learning is math, reading, and communication skills. But I guess to the liberal mind, feeling good about oneself is priority 1.
Just go to Google and search American inventors. Apparantly they are all colored.
Krapperdink’s kneeling for the anthem was immediately visible, and could be reacted to.
This on the other hand is going to occur below the radar, with long-term corrosive effects.
I think we were better off before NFL owners “fixed” this problem.
The only ones to benefit will be the heirs of Howard Zinn.
Sales of his loony books are going to go through the roof.
No better way to learn black history, than watching a BS, Hollywood TV series, based on a BS novel.
I watched a few episodes the first season it aired on PBS. Held my nose because it was hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., of "beer summit" fame. I don't remember exactly what caused me to stop watching it. I spent many years researching the black soldiers of the Civil War, met some of their families alive today, and shared research info with them, along with historians who were writing books on the subject. So, I probably stopped because I found the info they were providing wasn't exactly true. When the story came out that Ben Affleck's ancestors had been slave owners, and that he had coerced Gates not to include the fact in the show, then I knew I had been right in my feelings. You can't report history as fact, if you're going to leave out the important stuff, even if you don't like it.
Will it teach kids the best place to beat your wife/girlfriend?
If it promotes positive role models and racial harmony, ok.
If it promotes grievance, racist hate mongers and division, not ok.
Did the show he remembers happen to mention or show who captured him and forced him to the coast and the slavers?
How do you think it feels having a stupid plaque and memorial area on our Annapolis pier for this fakery?
