Why are you going all Karen over an AP class? shite doesn't affect me or you, you just wanna bitch like a Karen about it.

Do you want to discuss this like adults, or do you want to keep calling me names?

I've answered the question twice now as to why I think this is a bad idea. Besides the issue of limited time in school to teach vital, fundamental courses in math, science, language, etc it acquiesces to the woke BS that is ruining our country. There's no other reason to single out one ethnic group in the USA other than to promote an agenda

Yes, I'm 100% on board with this. African American studies should be one of the very first this country needs in order to turn it around.

We can start with math shall we?



If 3% of the population commits over half of the deadly crimes in this country, how many out of a hundred persons would you expect that to be?


A) 3
B) 33
C) Non binary
D) Russia
E) That's racist!

You’re free to go study that history at those institutions thriving in places like Dom Rep/Haiti, Western Africa, Central America, etc.

You call it woke but complain about being tagged as a Karen? Priceless. On a board that routinely tags any dissent from the MAGA line as groomers and pedophiles.

This like many other things are optional. It won't impact core curriculum, so doesn't impact your Karen arguement about limited time.

As far as singling out one ethnic group that's just silly. Many schools teach additional courses based on these ethnic identity of their students. Hmong language and culture is available for students in heavily hmong areas. Likewise many schools offer culture classes for other majority minorities like koreans, Chinese, vietnamese, and I would wager even Filipinos.

So why does this one ethnic group have you going all Karen over it?

I llive by a great philosophy. If shite doesn't affect me, I don't get all uptight about it. You should give it a shot. And im certainly not going to cry about what some school 3000 miles away is offering in its optimal course curriculum.

It’s far more than half. The 53% number Is based on murders where a perp is arrested. When the “unsolved “ are considered the rate is way higher.

Why does it have to be a class in school? Why can't government schools focus on "reading, writing and arithmetic"? All of these other things can be learned outside of English, Chemistry, Physics, Civics and Math classes. All of that information is available on-line or in libraries and can be self-taught (simply by reading and comprehending). Sports could be club/neighborhood or town centered activities independent of the school system. Students go to the school of their choice if possible or the one in their part of town. Costs would plummet and quality of education would skyrocket.

Will colleges give credit for a score of 1 because everyone answers MLK Jr for each question?

This is an AP course. You should already have completed Ebonics 101 as a pre-requisite.

If they presented a true and unbiased study of African American’s in the US it might actually open some of the lemmings’ eyes…

Unfortunately, I am certain it is another “white man bad” romp through history…

I'll repeat my hypothetical question from the OP: Why not AP Pilipino American History? Or AP Mexican American History?
some demographics are more easily coerced into violence than others.

The communists think this is what they need at the moment

I’m sure it won’t be long before every “marginalized” group has their own AP history class because “the white man only taught you their version”. Gay history, Trans history, non binary history, Differently-abled history, etc.

The entirety of the head of the supply chain was black tribes who slaughtered and enslaved other black tribes



sounds like indigenous tribes here also who fought each other over lands and took slaves. see apache and comanche

There continues a slave trade through Africa and the Middle East and Asia.




slave trade today is alive and well in libya, niger, and sudan.
