I don't know if we are targeted more, but when you take history class and all the good contributions to the world are attributed to white people, coupled with the fact that most are taught to believe in a white God, I believe this has a huge effect on people's minds.

This could lead a black person to see an association with whiteness and Godhood and God is to be feared and obeyed. Notice how some black people won't hesitate to kill another black person, but will not be as violent to oppressors who oppress us all?

i think the answer must lie somewhere between going to school and teaching yourself things they dont teach you in shcool, while going thru the shit to get a diploma and find good employment oppurtunities.
Ya, I think so too.

The way I see it, the goal of H.S. is to get really good grades and a diploma so you can go to college or university and increase your chances of getting another diploma or degree so that you can be qualified for a good paying job. But school does not teach people relevant stuff.

Like math class. I do not use algebra or any complex math in my daily life. To me that is just conditioning for us to take in info without question.


I have also learned more after H.S. just surfing the internet at college and going to the library reading books with interesting subjects.

I believe education is something one does for oneself.
