Black History: The Missing Chapters in American History

http://www.degvideo.com In 2008 a black man was elected president, and although Barack Obama was the top student in his Harvard law class, there is still the impact felt by lack of African American history taught in the public school system curriculum. Growing up in America most students go through the school system learning the history that has made this country so proud and great. Black history is American history, and it still remains the part of our history that is being taught sparingly, leading the next generation of American children to be disconnected from the great strides we have made as American people. This film takes a closer look at this issue and how we can use education as a springboard in order to fill some of these historical gaps.

Schools & colleges will never tell the truth period let alone true "black" history. If they did all hell would break loose. People want the truth not lies. Wake up you are being lied to people.

Racism is leaving out the truth of history and saying europeans did everything.

"You don't need to tell me about phenotypes, stereotypes or racial constructs"

Put your ego away and listen to your own statement. If you know so much about racialist constructs, then why still use terms like "black or white"?

then you stated

"We have to defeat racialism by addressing people from a cultural stand point first. "

Well at least your heart is in the right place, but the way to defeat racism is to look upon people as individuals, not from a cultural standpoint.

@mlmkwm HOW STUPID - Intelligent Whites won't deny blacks have made contributions to America HOWEVER to say they have contributed "just as much as white people but never received credit for there accomplishments" destroys any credibility your argument puts forward. And it's "Their" NOT "There".

@MrDjSeamless325 Like what??????

[mlmkwm]

@MrDjSeamless325 Thank you sir for displaying your ignorance. You have just proved why Black History needs to be included in grade school textbooks as a part of American History. Could it be that blacks and other minorities have contributed just as much as white people but never received credit for there accomplishments? Before you answering the question, consider the fact that we still celebrate Columbus Day.

Blacks who made differences in the world = about 12 or so... Whites who made differences = about 12 million...

As a American of Mexican Decent i totaly understand the hurt pain and suffering Americans of African decent had to deal with in this country.White people will never understand it.But we as Americans of different backgrounds really need to have text books and things like this for The Mexican/Spanish People that where already here and the segragation and land that was basicly stolen from them by the white man! I know this because it happen in my spanish ancestry family almost 150 years ago

This video is so ridiculous that it could have been made as a "tongue in cheek" joke. The silliest thing of all is black history month. Really, black history hour is more like it. There just is not much black history to study. They have contributed so little to mankind that trying to fill an entire month with their accomplishments is futile. I guess that is why they picked the shortest month of the year for it. Political correcctness is hides the truth.
