Morgan doesn't want to live on their plantation.

His name says it all..........Maybe we should call him:

"We're not there yet, Morgan."

No, SOME of us aren't there yet. And some of us are.

The ones who aren't seem to have vested interest in maintaining the myth, irrespective of its validity.

the only way to eliminate racism is to just stop talking about it.

All the other stuff has been done.

He is not a historian. He is projecting an idealism. We should leave this debate to historians."

Then sit down and shut up, Jesse.

Mr. Freeman, if I understand correctly, did not suggest we wipe early Black American history from our conscience. He expressed the idea that we should not identify individuals, or give special attention to a group of individuals simply because they are of a particular ethnicity, especially when the intent; by political motivation, is to divide.

...Rev. Jesse L. Jackson says. "...He is not a historian. He is projecting an idealism. We should leave this debate to historians."

Jesse Jackson is one of the worst at practicing exclusion. Do you recall his comments regarding Project 21? Jesse Jackson: "Who are they? What are they to this debate? Why should we listen to them? Who are they?"

"Unless blacks are given due credit for what they do, we need to continue teaching black history, for both esteem purposes and edification."

Somebody wasn't listening. Morgan said that black history should be studied all the time, not just one month out of the year.

Islam, mired in the 7th century by choice, and blaming everyone else for the repercussions of that choice.

Some blacks in America, mired in the 19th century by choice, and blaming everyone else for the repercussions of that choice.

I wonder if this has any impact on why so many "American" (2nd, 3rd, 4th, generation, plus) blacks convert to the "Religion of Peace".

What's interesting in all this is when I was a young girl, I was the only one in class who knew who Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver and of all people Jackie Robinson were. It wasn't because it was taught in the classroom but because my mother encouraged me to READ books about them. I also had a better knowledge of the War of Northern Aggression than most kids in my history classes because of her.
