Native Americans also owned and sold Black slaves.

And, before the 1800’s, several Native American tribes are documented to have enslaved other Native Americans from different tribes.

Perhaps a sequel to this film is in order?

“12 Years A Slave Owner”

It's about a cruel Black slave owner who is shamed in to freeing his slaves by a kind and loving white abolitionist.

When I saw the title of the thread I thought “Oh, that’s about first grade through twelfth grade in public school” because that’s how I viewed it going through the grinder. Well, eleven years, since I got kicked out...

Now I’ll read the article.

The purpose of “teaching” using this movie is to program the students to accept the government’s worldview. What decent people think of as “education” has nothing to do with it.


Best post of the thread.

I’ve posted on other threads that some parts of the North are worse than Southern states in this regard; in my area the whites are people who either fled the northern cities as they fell or their descendants. They have a similar reaction to blacks based solely on skin; I guess that puts racists on both sides of the equation.
