I read an article the other day that said that many school districts nationwide were thinking about altering their history lesson plans to be more "inclussive" so that african american students would learn about the contributions of black people in american history and mexican american students would focus on the contributions of mexian people in history. . . this just pisses me off. We have a checkered past, sure, but let's just teach the facts. I don't see any need to make everyone feel good about themselves.
TopTGP, I agree with you that black people (most of them originally ) didn't come to this country of their own accord but were brought here as slaves. But the ones currently living here are here on their own free will. they, most likely, have a better life then they would living in some 3rd world poverty and AIDS infested country. they have every opportunity to make as much of themselves as anyone else.
I do think our government should do something for them though. They should offer to give them a free trace of their family roots, find out what country they come from originally and when thier ancestors were brought here and then offer to pay their way back if they would rather live there. I think most people would choose here.
