I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year. Being Black was not by choice it is my inherited schwag gift, it’s the skin I was born in. Being a 59-year-old black woman to me means I must bestow astounding plaudits on my African ancestors and preserve the footprints of their heavily laid tracts of tears, sweat, and blood embedded deep into the soil of this country. For they were dragged to America as purchased commodities to cultivate the land, owned by the rulers of England who had collaborated with the rulers of Spain to import and export goods to their newly stolen land. I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year. Being Black was not by choice it is my inherited schwag gift, it’s the skin I was born in. That lowly depiction and detracting stigmata on blackness given to me by our oppressor; as he beat me teaching me to hush and stay in my place. I’ve learned to ascend high above the heights, to wear those bedevil scars and my blackness with pride. I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year. Being born Black is a schwag gift where you have no right to choose, unlike those who were given the choice to be or not to be a parent. I Am A Woman 2... A Whole Woman! I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year. Being black was not a choice given to me unlike those who consciously decided to be Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, or Queer. I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year. Nor is being born black like pledging or swearing an oath when joining a club, political party, or gang. Nor is being Black a Religion that one chooses to part take in. I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year. Neither was Black History Month constructed for the Native American Indians; the rightful owners of the land. Neither was Black History Month constructed for those asylum seekers from Mexico, Asia, and Europe who CHOSE to come to America by any means necessary to seek better jobs, housing, and higher education. I'm an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year. But as I roister in my celebration of Black History Month, I can’t help but wonder if the last-to-be-hired vine workers' great migration to this land and the adding of these muddle attachments that have nothing to do with being black nor black history to me they are of the devil’s devise! Devise concorded to detract my ancestors’ tracts (that are full of ambrosia treasures) so that strangers and the last to be hired vine workers may be dripped with my black children, children’s children's fatness from my ancestor harvest. Well, I rebuke you Devils in the name of Jesus! No longer will I be your beast of burden! No longer will you continue to place every crumb-snatching vine worker's burden on my back. As of today, I lay down those burdens that are not mine to carry. And I laid down my bellicose sword and quit adjudicated in their honor. My relentless fighting and marching in the street protesting their causes is over... As of today I only adjudicate when those who look like me honor and civil rights are being denied. And I only raised my bellicose sword to protect me and mine! The others must work for their own harvest; lead protests for their own causes; and fight their own fights. For God's vouchsafe to me and my ancestors “those strange vine workers and crumbs snatchers shall not reap my harvest and if I steadfast I shall crown my latter year with thy goodness, and my pathways shall be dripped with Thy fatness for my Black Children’s children children's!” Salam and Amen I’ll be Lagom… resting in God’s promise. I'm Black and I'm Proud to be Black. I celebrate being Black every month of the year. There is a paradigm-shifting, shining a scintillated light into greed and hate's darkest places, surrogating justice where the injustice of radical ideologists lurks...

There are two different things: Questioning slavery as an institution and being opposed to being a slave oneself. There are countless examples, in all civilizations, of freed slaves who acquired slaves of their own as soon as they got a chance. In fact there were even civilizations in which people who were still slaves had slaves of their own, while actively working at freeing themselves. This being sad, I don't believe that DeSantis is right, because there were a few groups such as the Quakers that opposed the institution of slavery prior to the American Revolution, but generally, the second half of the 18th century is around the time when some people started questioning slavery as an institution.

William the Conqueror outlawed the slave trade in England in the late 11th century. The result was there were no slaves in England by the early 12th century. Long after that law was no longer in the books slavery still didn't really return to England in any meaningful way. This even resulted in a case in 1772 (Somerset v Stewart) whereby a slave that ran away from his American master while visiting England was freed by the courts on the basis that "The air of England is too pure for Slaves to breathe" or something like that.

What a load of ignorance and lies from DeSantis - The British were, by the late eighteenth century, the biggest proponents of the abolition of slavery worldwide, having previously been the world's largest slave dealers. William Wilberforce had written in his diary in 1787 that his great purpose in life was to suppress the slave trade. The Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, tabled the Act Against Slavery in 1793. Passed by the local Legislative Assembly, it was the first legislation to outlaw the slave trade in a part of the British Empire. The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 provided for the gradual abolition of slavery in most parts of the British Empire.

I lived in Los Angeles in ‘71, where it was a melting pot of cultures in our neighborhood. I was eleven. My best friend was African American, and my crush was Mexican American. We all played together, all over the neighborhood, and we were at each other’s houses. Then we moved to northwest Georgia. For over two years, I couldn’t understand why everyone was “ugly” to each other and fighting. Then I learned about slavery and the Civil War, in the 8th grade. I think it’s a mistake, waiting until middle school, high school or beyond to learn about this. Northwest Georgia in the early 70’s was NOT a melting pot! Maybe if they learned the true history of all America’s people, they would have more understanding and empathy for each other, and not just emulating bullies, over something they think they know about, but do not. Besides, the most compassionate humans are young children, until elders (older children or adults) brainwash/manipulate them. One more thing: it doesn’t matter what you want/don’t want your children to learn in school, they will learn it, one way or another, and usually the things you don’t want them to learn….they learn from other kids, usually from their elders or tv. I was shocked by the things other kids were telling each other, in my child’s first grade class. Our children don’t live in a bubble. We can’t enforce censorship of the world. But we can teach our kids right and wrong, and empathy, so they have a strong foundation of being a good, caring human being.

She couldn't speak or write English, but she was disturbed by my humiliation, she signed it with her name. When I handed the teacher the letter and read it she grabbed me by the neck and called me a liar and took me to the principles office. She said it was obvious I had written the letter, but the principal said quietly....Many of theses parents are not fluent in English but they care about their children just the same....I've never regretted writing the letter for mother.

As an elementary school student, and one of only 5 or 6 black students in my entire school in the 1960s, learning only that my ancestors were enslaved, then freed; followed by the Civil Rights movement left me upset and confused. I thought "there must be more to black history." In high school, at a private lecture I learned about the Royal Dynasties of Africa (In Egypt, Kush and Nubia.) That gave me a totally different feeling about myself. It gave me a sense of self worth and value. DeSantis in his ignorant statement that no one cared is ignoring how all non-white students feel about themselves and events that still effect how we are judged to this day. If we learned more about the value of the various cultures that make up America, children might grow up having more self respect and respect for others who have a different experience in this country due to discrimination.

This along with taxation and other issues lead to the war. Also, WW11 Was not to save the Jewish people, discounts the Pacific part of the war and also the invasion of Europe and Russia and a lot more going on. Just goes to the fact we need better history lessons.

Another reason is that in other countries slaveowners received monetary compensation for giving up their enslaved people (Biritish colonies). There was also a period of "apprenticeship," which was really a 'grace period' where former enslaved, who were officially freed, worked without pay as 'apprentices,' giving former slaveowners the time to change to contract laborers. This apprenticeship was basically slavery with a deadline. After that people were recruited from countries like India, Indonesia and China to work in the plantation in the Caribbean in some countries in South America. However the conditions of these contract laborers were similar to slavery.

So the abolition movement DID start in various American (independent) states at the time of the Revolution. Please study history.

I taught 20 years and at multiple grade levels such as 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 9th and retired teaching 12th grade. Teaching is as hard as it is rewarding, schools are being under funded in many communities. I have seen the best in Illinois and the worst in Florida and I know I was good at teaching because my students were never left behind. My old students always came back to visit even though they moved on to higher grades or peaked their little heads through the door to say hi during class chang overs. I still have lots of teacher friends and they are dismayed by the politics that are eroding our educational system needlessly making their jobs way more harder and more complicated because of the blatant misrepresentation of their curriculum. Their already underpaid and overworked yet because they love their kids most stay. I will continue to educate young minds through my work with fact based hypothesis and give them the tools to think critically on their own.

That's an Italian name. He wouldn't be a slave owner because they would look at him the same way. If anything he would be in indentured servitude. Your name is common sense. Use it

I'm 66 and I attended a catholic school. We learned about slavery, as a core subject, in 3rd grade. We were also taught critical thinking. We were all better for it. And kinder.

Being taught not to question or ask questions is nearly the definition of tyranny. Exactly the mantra and way in which slaves were treated by their owners.

Scott Jennings is full of it.He's reflecting the question.

Let me tell you a story. A few years ago an elderly white widow had a black man move in next door. She was frightened because she grew up in days of segregation. Yeah, wasn't that long ago. She was brought up (as I imagine many white kids were) to fear black people. She was quiet and the fact it was a small country town he presume it was because she was racist like many of the people he'd dealt with. One day the man went over to the lady's house to introduce himself. She was stand offish However the man offered to mow her yard because he noticed it had become overgrown. She said yes. From then on they never spoke again, yet the man would mow her lawn any time he mowed his. After a few month and in the heat of August this woman would approach the man ,who was visably feeling the heat, with a glass of iced tea. She would thank the man and break down and tell him how she was raised and didn't agree with what she was taught and would then proceed to apologize. They were friends and neighbors until the day she died. True story! Now you dissect that social dynamic and figure it out and place it in your life and realize racism is spawned from prejudice. Stop living up to the prejudices and be humane. This shit ain't hard. Might take time and kindness but it ain't hard.

I'm from a former British colony and abolitionists in the UK were starting to question slavery from late 1700s. That why we got emancipation way before America and there wasn't a civil war about it lmao. Trust me, the American Revolution wasn't as big of a factor in ending slavery for other colonies. America was quite comfortable with slavery till the mid 1800s especially with the cotton Gin. If it wasn't for the events leading up to the civil war and the war itself, America would have abolish slavery way later. So idk what this man is talking about.

This comment shows a lack of knowledge about American history. Slavery in the United States was abolished in several northern colonies early on, the first was Pennsylvania in 1780. Vermont abolished the practice in 1777, however it was independent and not a part of the US until 1791. You make the claim it would have been way later had it not been for the Civil War, that isn't a fact.

@@vladtheinhaler8940 Are you sure about that? Cuz it is true that the northern states did abolished it and it did had abolition movement, I would give u that, however the south was very comfortable with slavery. Do you really think they would have given it up easily? They literally SUCCEED AND WENT TO WAR when there was a chance slavery was gonna be abolished. Lincoln literally didn't had any plan to abolish slavery, he thought it would die out naturally (highly doubt it would have soon) but the fact he expressed abolitionism they were out. Now tell me if those states were willing to go to form their own country and go to war cuz one of the reasons was that the leader said maybe we shouldn't be hitting people to pick cotton but he wasn't actually gonna do much about it, do u think slavery was gonna die out quickly in the South? The north was mainly concerned with the economy when it came to slavery, they didn't need slaves as much. But after the cotton gin it was pretty set that slavery would remain in the South for a while.

CRT is mainly a law class and taught in colleges/ universities. Republican politicians are using it as a scare tactic for their constituents and mainly white voters! Most, black people have parents grandparents or older relative that hav told them about the early days to current events of black life in the USA. Books by black authors are in abundance plus the internet! My grandfather made me aware from his service in & after WW II, living during Jim Crow, segregation ,black people disappearing, and neighboring town's link to the klan(a sign as you approached the town "welcoming " you in). My grandparents allowed me to watch "Roots " the entire series and I admit I became estranged from several of my causcian classmates we reconnected...but it was never the same. I did every book report, paper, or project I could to highlight black people from then on in my educational pursuits!

In1834, Britain passed the Slavery Abolition Act, which prohibited ownership, purchase and sale of humans as property throughout its colonies.

Excuse me? Didn't the British end slavery BEFORE the U.S.? Didn't the Haitians question slavery big time?

Is responsible for raising weak minds with no sense of pride or understanding of how all History shaped America. You can't improve something if you don't know it is wrong and needs correcting. Learning requires being subjected to some unpleasant things. Kids are smart enough to learn from the mistakes and change course. These people are doing a huge dis service to the kids, by omitting facts and hiding the past truths.
