This will need to remain a personal observation as I don't share detailed personal or family info in a medium like this, but I have a close relative who has been a public school history teacher in a poor, urban area for the last 25 years. This week my relative was informed by their department head that starting next year US history students at that high school will no longer be taught about Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, and several other Presidents because "... they owned slaves."
Woke-ism and ignorance, rapidly becoming two sides of the same coin.
That's not likely to be ..... you guys seem not to understand, the system of slavery had many prongs... none as severe as what happen to black people, but poor whites from various different countries were worked for less than enough to live on to any quality standards, and that could be done because it was easy to low pay people, and threaten them with being replaced by slave labor. If anything poor whites should have been the first group to stand up "against slavery", and bond and work with black people not only to end slavery but to fight together for fair living wage pay.
See... I don't think many of you guys get the fact, that when I write, I have as much concern and interest to see poor and working poor whites advance as I do for seeing black people advance. The two groups are linked together and one used against the other by wealthy people who know, the "divide and conquer game" is a win for the wealthy, and has been for centuries.
I don't ever see working poor and poor white people coming to this understanding, but it is time. Black people are not an enemy of poor whites or working poor whites. History has showing that these groups built this country "together" and the wealthy profited from their combined labors.
I speak a lot against white nationalism and white supremacy, because it abuses both white and black alike, with more violence thrust toward black, but economic violence and social class and caste violence against poor whites and working poor whites. again, that system is profitable to the wealthy.
So... its far past time to stop the promotion of racism and see it for what it is, its a system used to enrich some at the expense of poor whites, working poor whites and non whites and the focus goes to attack black people, as a means to keep the system of racism in place. It needs to be vanquished from this society.
The wealthy have pushed voter repression, that too works against poor whites, working poor whites and minorities, and when white people in these groups see it they will then become awake to stand up, they need to become "woke" if that words makes people understand the need for change, then they need to become "woke".
Woke is a term that refers to awareness of issues that concern social justice and racial justice
Now, you and others should ask yourself, why you are not "Woke".... instead of buying into the programming that continue to create a serfdom class for poor and working poor whites.
You create threads meant to sow discord, because you seem to get some kind of twisted delight out of it, while you are a member of the poor and working poor white group that continues to suffer the challenges. If you were not among this group, you likely would not be on this site or any other, because the well to do and wealthy don't spend all day, on these kind of forums, because they already control the narrative by the power of their money and their ability to influence poor and working poor whites by other means.
I share here, to help share in the promotion of "information" that can bring the mind to pursue understanding, awareness and historical information and respect for civil and civic principles of America and American Democracy. My posting are examples of those principles, and anyone is welcome to go through them and they will find that theme throughout the whole of what I write here and on other forums. .
It is Republicanism's leading Right Winger Mentality that does not want the full scope of history taught, but no matter how hard they try to smother over the truth, the truth cannot be destroy by man's denials, omission of discussion, or his fight against its exposure.
