I understand it, but do you understand that they are not teaching "whites" anything about their culture either? What is being taught is not "whiteness" but simply how to comply with corporate power so you can have a job. How to kiss ass, in other words.

Whites are completely ignorant about their true history. In the immediate past, the history of their labor struggles and abuse as workers. Further back, how the aristocracy (foreign invaders and occupiers) kept them in virtual slavery for centuries. And so on.

They are taught that Rome is their Daddy and so they need to check their credit report often and make sure to bend over VERY far for the bosses.

That's all the "white culture" they have.

A sane educational system would be teaching what you desire for blacks and the same thing for whites, but in fact it is failing both of them. And the whites are even more duped... led to think that this society is theirs, that some sort of white culture is dominant, when in fact they're living in corporate commercial culture.

Even in European cities it is the same, though there is some culture left in the small rural towns sometimes.

Thats the basis of what i'm speaking about, thank you!

How can one in a dominant society based on their color, not indictrinate themselves with what the education system shells out for them, and by the same token the minority not grasp that same mindset, only in an inferiority way, because their is no equal access to their HISTORY and CONTRIBUTIONS to society!

And thats just the education part....lol....smh....then you have everything social that derives from that!

BAPF!

Yes true, but just even that scope of learning is still "DOMINANT" enough to infuse superiority in the mind, and then we haven't even delved into the color mechanism for which has been created and indoctrinated into their way of being!

And its all just the opposite with the minority african in this country!

No balance whatsoever, equals no EQUALITY ON ALL LEVELS!

BAPF!

Yes, balance... of course what should be taught is the truth about all cultures. The bad and good.

The racism in the USA is institutionalized and that means even institutionalized in the inculcated cultures of both black and white. Yep.

We overcome that by knowledge and keeping an open mind. There are always voices in the background telling us: "whites ARE superior," "whites ARE evil," "blacks ARE (insert negative stereotype here)", or alternatively, "blacks are SUPERIOR and whitey should die"...

EDUCATION!!! Believe me I tried. The only time and administrator gave me an active show of approval for teaching cultural truths to students was an Afrocentric principal, with whom I disagreed on a number of points, HOWEVER she observed the African history I was teaching and was very happy to have a teacher who even knew about it... and so did not get in my way when I was teaching Native, Mexican, even European, etc., culture.

Otherwise, even from allegedly very liberal whites, I've gotten a fearful reaction when they heard me teaching about Iroquois history and culture or Africa...

The most ridiculous comment was from a white female teacher in S Central L.A., who told me, Oh Mr. Sinajuavi, don't teach them about slavery, they'll hate us... I said, haven't you been listening, many of them already hate you. LOL

But I wasn't teaching about slavery in fact, I was teaching about black resistance to it... And I wasn't teaching them to hate the whites, rather to understand their own history, and that a white person could be good or bad... you find out by engaging them openly not reacting and closing your mind the minute you see a white face.

So I think that white teacher by her blandness was probably doing far more harm to the image of white people among the black students than I was by teaching them the truth of history, including some of the vile shit whites had done.

I also taught them about John Brown and going back to Europe, Wat Turner, Spartacus, etc.

I actually would see LIBERAL white female teachers peeking around the doorframe into my classroom to see what I was teaching them about the teachings of the Iroquois Peacemaker. They could handle John Brown and Dr. King, but this suggestion that truth and wisdom was coming from outside the frame of their Western experience was just too much...

These same type of liberal whites often will go on all day about how much they love César Chávez and appreciate Mexican people and oh aren't they wonderful and their culture is so fascinating...

...but when an actual Mexican gets around them, they don't know what the hell to do. Me and some others used to sit back and laugh, watching them vibrate with angst.

Well I'm picking on the whites here, while a lot of people, including blacks, Mexicans and others, are similarly vibrating with confusion and reactionism.

Listening to people make excuses and rationalizations for the Arabs in Africa is "amusing"... When compared with the white racist excuses for slavery ("It's not our fault... other Africans SOLD them to us"), I see no difference.

The history of Arab imperialism is JUST as dirty as that of Euroimperialism.

CAPITALISM does not equal free markets or freedom. Are you insane? The capitalists control the market for commodities and labor, there is nothing free about it. It is rigged with government complicity. You'll notice that the capitalists called in GOVERNMENT agents (Police, army, etc.) to smash unionists and strikers...

Capitalists usurp monopoly control of wealth (including resources), then "create jobs" and tell you they're providing you a better life! LOL Trace back their wealth... it all comes from the colonial era, and was stolen.

An EVOLUTION of feudalism into capitalism occurred... not a REVOLUTION. The feudal and imperialist (Roman) roots of modern capitalism are very clear for those who analyze it rationally.

Clear you mind of the conservative brainwash and look at it from the point of view of the vast majority of WORKERS in the world who are still exploited grievously by your precious "capitalism".

Yeah, bozino... and today's "globalization", or "the internationalization of capital", is just another process of the imperialist/capitalist system evolving with the times...

Nothing new under the sun...

COINTELPRO???

That's the Counterintelligence Program unleased not only against the Black Power Movement mentioned by 216 Elite, but against Dr. King and Malcolm X before the Black Power Movement emerged. It was used against the peace movement, the movement in opposition to the Vietnam War.
Perhaps it's primary target after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the Black Panther Party founded by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in 1966.
In my area, we have a political prisoner named MARSHALL EDDY CONWAY, former leader of the Baltimore Black Panther Party who was charged and imprisoned for the murder of a police officer even though he was no where near the scene of the murder. And there was no ballistic trail leading to him whatsoever.
However, Eddy Conway got wind of some COINTELPRO agents infiltrating the Black Panther Party and attempted to expose them to the national leadership. Whether he got a chance to expose them before he was himself picked in a police raid, I don't know.
If you want to know what happened to the Black community over the past 35 years, and why (except in the area of civil liberties, then only partly) our situation seems worst in some respects than before the 1960s, a very important part of the puzzle is that CONSCIOUS brothers and sisters like Eddy Conway, Dr. King, Malcolmx, Fannie lou Hamer were removed and replaced by pimps, thugs, jackleg preacher,half-witted entertainers, as self-seeking negro bourgeois opportunists.
We must build a new MOVEMENT for economic justice and civil freedoms, a movement based on the MASSES of the people. But this time we must be more aware of INTERNAL CLASS CONTRADICTIONS than most of our predecessors were during the 1960s. For the appalling state of the MASSES of our people is due primarily to both the treachery of the negro elite, and the coercive measures of racist corporate imperailist government.
The true parasites are the capitalists, racist and stone age reactionaries like Kuku Munga.
I draw the one quite clearly. If you're not in moral solidarity with the poor, the exploited and the dispossessed, then you're on the wrong side of history.You're either irrelevant or an enemy of the people and an enemy of democracy.
As the old labor song goes: Which SIDE on you on, boys? Which side are you on?
