Now I know this is majority white folks, and honestly Im not suprised but this is why our research is important, because not only are our people miseducated about their history, but even white people are ignorant about African American history. They don't even know that blacks fought in all the American Wars, or that Blacks toiled to build the white house and to get the American Colonies on the world scene, They don't know about Jazz, Soul, Rock and Roll or the Harlem Renaissance.
All I gotta say is when I start teaching MY students will be VERY, VERY familiar with Black African as well as A.A history.

I'm surprised none of the Black students called him out on his Black face shenanigins. They were just as ignorant as the White students it appears. I'm never offended by ignorance but I was indeed taken a back. A bit shocked even but hey, whatever. 9/10 Americans are idiots and I knew that before watching this clip.
