What Would The World Be Like Without Black People
What Would The World Be Like Without Black People
Mom told her son, “Let's do our chores around the house and then take a trip to the grocery store." His job was to sweep the floor. He swept and swept and swept. When he reached for the dustpan, it was not there....
You see, Lloyd P. Ray, a black man, invented the dustpan.
More to come so stay tuned!

Love it. I wish all parents knew this history and could teach it to our children . They need to see and hear this daily so they see their greatness as scientists, mathematicians, inventors.......and much much more.....#spreadthetruth

I think the bigger question we should all ask ourselves is WHY don't we know these things? Why don't we know the Statue of Liberty was originally a black woman? Why don't we know the Star Spangled Banner has an extra verse referring to the killing of slaves? Why is history like this hidden until you search for it? Why do we cover up history? There should be no "black history month " because the history should ALREADY been taught throughout the year! And 75% of people say racism doesn't really exist anymore

this is also why I’m getting my doctorate in policy. Those who are in “power” can make EFFECTIVE changes but don’t and won’t. Many are out with their own agenda in mind. There will NEVER be a week or month dedicated to Caucasians. And why? There is a month for Hispanic Heritage, a month for Black History and a month for Women History....so what’s the issue? We are the minority and are treated as such. Educators are told the curriculum that must be taught and they teach it. It’s a drop down approach. We can’t and shouldn’t leave education up to educators and policy makers. Because we know how important we are, or the lack of importance that is exhibited, we must continue to educate our children, or families/friends and take teachable moments even without being a teacher. If we leave it up to “the powers that be”, we, our children, our loved ones, will continue to be left in the dark.

I think your taking my post the wrong way, I'm not bashing anything besides the inequality that still exists, nor did I think we need to leave educators to all the teaching(which is why I homeschool so I take control of my child's education). So I'm sorry if you think I am against you, in fact it is quite the opposite, I'm not posting for drama, just trying to empathize with a group of people who get left in the dust over and over.
EDIT: just to add a fun fact, in the next 20-30 years Caucasians will become the visible minority in the U.S.

no ma’am. I’m not. I’m responding to your comment. We are saying the same thing here. I didn’t think you were posting for drama. You seem just as concern as I am, hence is why I’m making it (or trying to make it) a daily post. Believe me, I see you, feel you, understand you, and know what you are saying. I’m in agreement with you. 😘🤗
And I also believe that the fun fact will occur sooner... if it isn’t already there.
