Should Slavery be Taught in Schools?

[drkaje]

of course it should be taught, it's still a common practice world wide; especially in the Religion of Peace

Let's face it: School has basically become daycare for low income families. We're probably setting too high a standard expecting kids to be educated.

HA! Agreed.

Any retard with the internet and a computer can make Wiki entries.

And get them deleted in a second if they don't conform with the current system of lies.

[mr.turbo]

Nope...all true


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ellison

wikipedia was found to be about as accurate as the other encyclopedias (oxford, brittanica.)

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7070/full/438900a.html

as for this fellow specifically he probably did own slaves but no one claims this is typical so it's not meaningful. You may find jews who were nazis too it doesn't mean anything because it's an absurd anomaly.

[Rusty Trombone]

Wikipedia is mostly correct.  And when a bad edit is made,it usuallygets corrected within a few minutes.

I don't get it,how do they keep an eye on this amount of content?

Also the holocaust should be taught as one of the biggest scams ever. Bigger than 9/11.

I've tried typing this slowly in the past but it doesn't seem to make any difference:

Wiki

is

not

a peer-reviewed

source.

This guy existed....there's a landmark in the area where he was born you moron

You sincerely don't understand that N=1 means nothing?

Read a book or do a little research about how hard it was for freed slaves to stay free, indentured folks to have their contracts honored, the transition from indentured servitude to slavery for blacks (but not whites) before jumping on Adumbass' bandwagon. I'm not naïve enough to believe being more knowledgeable on the topic will help. It might stop you from taking whatever popular position is advanced in order to fit in better or look intellectual.

A few black guys owning slaves or having indentured servants doesn't mean shit. It was how people lived back then.

Kids should be taught American and World history in school. Ignoring history will only increase the number of dumbasses.

Wiki is fine for looking up shit quickly. No one with a brain would use it as a legitimate source to prove an argument because it announces that the argument has no foundation in actual thought or education. Peer review means other experts had a chance to read your article, conclusions, study, etc...and examine how conclusions were drawn.

FWIW, You can be wrong as fuck with an opinion based upon peer-reviewed material but at least there's some thought process behind the mistake that can be fixed with better information.

[YngiweRhoads]

i'm not sure about slavery - but slayer should definitely be taught in schools

qft

Lmao at Vince thinking a Wikipedia page is peer-reviewed.

You do realize that you can scroll down further and there are source links, tons and tons for each article.  You can then verify those sources.

Why do you not realize this?

It depends on the families.

As with anything, generalizing is problematic.

Take my kids for instance. I require they do well in school. If they don't there are consequences. I'm sure there are some kids they go to school with that just don't care, but that's the issue of their families, not mine.

Mine do well and get pushed hard because education is important.

[TuHolmes]

Exactly.

We generalize a lot, but you and I both know how we are in our families and how other families are as well.

Generally, I assume there are more people who "want" to do well, than people who truly don't care.

Especially the child's parents and what not.

Do they realize that you are a moron?

[mr.turbo]

Do they realize that you are a moron?

by your argument we should teach German history by focusing on Jew Nazi's such as the "ideal soldier" Werner Goldberg.

hahah fool.

[drkaje]

Do they realize that you are a moron?

I have two teenagers.

It's implied

[BBSSchlemiel]

I don't think it should. It's disempowering for black kids to hear that their ancestors were slaves treated like animals and creates resentment towards those who had nothing to do with customs and laws dating back 400 years. It also creates subliminal feelings of superiority for white kids to hear that whites owned blacks for 250 years.

Other than instilling misguided guilt in liberal white kids whose ancestors didn't arrive here until well after slavery was abolished, what's the point?

Yes, we should. We should also learn about the ongoing, PRESENT-DAY, slave trade in which Africans enslave African children in the chocolate trade.

We can also get a bit of history about the Berber slave trade in which white women were sexually enslaved by Northern Africans. And then a little dose of  the Jewish-Israeli slave trade of Slavic women, as well as the enslavement of millions of Italians, Germans, Balts, and Slavs by Jewish commies in the gulags of Siberia to be worked to death on the White Sea Canal.

Yes, let's learn it all. It's a two way street.

Thanks for trolling, TA!!

Thanks for trolling, TA!!

It's not feigned ignorance for the sake of being argumentative. Someone who understood the difference wouldn't make such a post.

[The True Adonis]

Thanks for trolling, TA!!

I'm not at all though.  You wouldn't have posted such a stupid ass response had you known that there are sources at the bottom that are clickable and that you can verify for yourself that are contained in each article.

Try it out.  If you need additional help, I can assist.

It's probably a little easier for my kids to believe education is important because such a high percentage of the people around them went to college.

[Papper]

Yes. You should teach kids to be slaves. Would do 'em good.

[BBSSchlemiel]

Also the holocaust should be taught as one of the biggest scams ever. Bigger than 9/11.

What about a real holocaust: 50 million Europeans croaking and tortured at the hands of commies.

[Papper]

I think some are just meant to be slaves, their mentality screams for being controlled by better knowing masters.  Or else they act like savage apes and endanger people.
