The Ignorance of America

While history proves and let the records show that: 1. the enslavement of human beings was global 2. many ethnic groups/cultures of people suffered at the hands of those in power 3. “slavery”was also not specific to Africans, I am sure her reference to “slavery” is ethnocentric in nature and is referring to what occurred to Africans here in the USA. (Refer to number 1) That having been said...you can feel however you want to about the stay at home order but when you compare a month to 6 week government imposed lockdown for your safety to over 400 years of a brutal enslavement, an international trade and kidnapping, amputations, castrations, torture, rape, lynching of human beings, the drowning of millions of my Ancestors in the Middle Passage...you have gone too damn far!!!!!! We have seen the blatant racism and heightened xenophobia before and since this pandemic surfaced. The arrogance and ignorance of these Americans is embarrassing. This is why African American history NEEDS to be a part of American History curriculum not just reserved for February. Chadra Pittman I found this image on Facebook on April 24, 2020.
