    it is pointless and frivolous to repetitively teach generations and generations of hatred and stupidity that once was. This type of repetition is only prolonging racism and anger in the hearts of young kids and their parents alike

    thats what you said, so by that standard we shouldnt teach of the holocaust either because there are jewish students and they shouldnt hear about how millions of their people were murdered out of pure hatred and stupidity. IMO that was far worse than slavery, slavery was a terrible thing for us definitely but how many slaves were mass killed.

    ignorance is what breeds racism, not knowledge and your solution to the problem of racism is to not teach the bad things that happened in the past.

    again i will say that the math problem was inappropriate. however, it is not racist.

    If you will please redirect yourself to the previous pages and re-read this entire thread you will see that I concur that the problem was in fact inappropriate and not racist, But if you REALLY REALLY read and pay attention to all the things I've posted you will see that I was rationalizing for the people that not only do not know that there were different colors and races of slaves, but for the parents and the grandparents of the parents that had slavery involved in their family. These people will see this as racism please re-read everything again and let it soak what I've been saying because your misconstrued concept of this debate is failing hard. And as much as I would love to continue this debate I'd rather be playing MW3 so I'll ttyl

    Ding ding ding.

    Knowledge is the solution, not the problem.
