Black History and Malcolm X

I am so glad that I don't have kids in public schools these days because I'd probably end up being locked up for murder, convicted of physically throttling some of the ignorami who pass themselves off as teachers and principals these days.

What's wrong you say?

Well, it's Black History Month and fourth graders at Public School 201 in Queens New York had to do papers on a prominent Black person.

Many of the kids chose Malcolm X. 

Their teachers, backed up by the principal told them they couldn't write about Malcolm because he was a bad man who advocated violence and therefore was not good subject matter during Black History Month

The inference being he wasn't “good” black civil rights leader material. Translation, he wasn't a house negro, trusted and not dangerous to white people. therefore little black kids should not revere or know about big black rebellious men.

This would never have come to light if the kids hadn't started complaining to their parents who in turn demanded answers from the principal, who said she'd look into it. Didn't say she'd fix it, only that she'd look into it.

You can read the whole story right here.

Malcolm X a bad man? Denmark Vesey was bad....Gaspar Yanga was bad..The dudes who led the Stono Rebellion were bad...John Brown was bad....Nat Turner was bad.....Madison Washington was bad...some of these dudes were field negroes, one a crazy white man and another a crazy creole....All a part of Black History..

Malcolm X bad? He never picked up a gun...but he did say the rest of us should take our equality by any means necessary.

Know your history.

Martin Luther King Jr advocated non violence yet he found commonality with Malcolm X..They were walking the same path..

Know your history.

Good or bad ain't got nothin to do with history..

It just is...

I vote we fire some dumb ass teachers and principals....

History without holes...Learn it and free yourself...
