I went to blackety black private schools

I went to African American cultural centers each year to celebrate Kawanza

I went to weekend black history seminars in middle school

I had the ENTIRE collection of the Golden Legacy illustrated black history books - http://golden-legacy.com/


I bring up those things because I am still learning a lot about what happened. If anything, what I realize now is how much shit is dropped

Example: American Revolution & the connection to the second half of third verse in the star spangled banner -

"No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave."

Written by Francis Scott Key the district attorney under Andrew "Jackie Baby" Jackson - who then influenced Jackson to appoint his brother in law Roger B. Taney the motherfucker who wrote the Dred Scott decision 🤯

NONE of that shit was talked about in school.
