-If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racist.

-In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights...you would call us racist.

-Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them. they all got sent to court for being racist but the african-american, Latino, and Asia clubs were not even questioned.

-You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

The problem is time. There isn't enough time for the curriculum to be too focused on any one aspect of American history longer than necessary. Blame time then, not racism...

What do you mean it's time? There's plenty of time to learn plenty of subjects =\

I'm a prime example of it... my goal is to be a certified Scholar, and not just in one subject but as many as possible.

i understand that there's not time, but it's annoying when every year they go over the same exact thing over and over and over and over and over, we always start at the same place and stop at the same place. we study the pilgrims getting here everytime, we study the kings and queens of england every time. repeated over and over.

in high school a kid in my class asked why we spent one week on africa and a semester on europe. and the teachers reply was that africa just didn't have as much important history. i understand that that's not the majority of teachers opinions though.

they should teach more history from all around the world i think, instead of drilling the same things into our head over and over.

at least here in america, i don't know how they teach history everywhere else

The problem with America is, it's selfish. It only cares about itself and anything that effects it. So America in a sense does teach World History, but only parts of the world that revolved around America.
