Why is Winston Churchill taught to colored kids, in a
manner where we are supposed to admire that racist man? He is responsible for
the Bengal Famine of 1943. It is funny how I did not find that peice of history
in his autobiography. Why would they teach colored kids to look up to these racist
men? Does that fall into somewhere in between they teach us how to hate
ourselves and worship those who hate us?
I once had a teacher who would tell us how Barrack
Obama was not the right choice for president. How he would vote for D.L.
Hughley, but not Barrack. I could tell this guy did not like
the African American candidate,
so he throws in some comedian, who was not on the ballot as a scapegoat
to his racism. He also once said that Mexicans and Puerto Ricans were the same
thing, like there was no real difference, boy did that anger me, but like any
dumb kid, you figure if you say
something it might affect my grade. I
still got a C , when I feel I should have gotten a better grade.
I remember a time when I was 7 or 8 years old, I once
was day dreaming and I did not salute the American flag, and the teacher made
me do it by myself after everyone had finished, and I was shy so I did not do it,
so she sent me to the principal's office, and that man asked me if I did not do
the flag salute because I was a Communist, or he asked if I was a Jehova's
Witness? I did not know what a Communist was¸ but it sounded like he was accusing
me of being something bad, so I being a kid just started to cry.
I can remember another racist teacher I once had, who
kicked an African American kid, because he was standing in a leaning position
during the flag salute. His foot was sticking out too much for her liking and
she kicked his foot back into place. I never forgot that. What has that flag
done for his people, that he needs to honor that flag. He is a child of 11 or
12 years old, she could have explained it to him, that she thought it was
irreverant, or maybe the kid was smart enough to know that he was being played,
and he knew exactly that that flag had done nothing but enslave his people and
kept them down like a colonized people in what supposedly was also there
country.
Today there are standardized testing they are pushing
kids who test poorly out of the system, they want to push these kids out of
school so that the schools can receive more funding. These kids are entering
something called the preschool to prison pipeline. Everything is about money
now, and these racist teachers will have no problem complying to the demands of
this greedy , racist, capitalist system.
