Such racist insensitivity (in this day and age) still succeed in inflicting the covert punch that many are intended to do, long after any amount of apology is designed. So I think that those black parents have earned the right to force the school to now teach the truth about slavery's compounding impact on black and white in this country. Since it was supposed to be a math lesson, they should come up with their own examples of how money and privilege compounds over centuries. That school has inflicted an outrageous psychic injury on young children who couldn't defend themselves against a hateful system that covertly and systemically continues to indoctrinate and contaminate the minds of humans in many ways every day.
When such incidents are caught; that constitutes just a miniscule fraction of what gets downloaded successfully, to keep up its intended influence for decades and centuries to come. The sad thing is that that teacher could've been or might be black. But this is how powerless black people with supposed power still are. So that even when they're put in positions to inflict psychic harm on their own, they simply have to go along in silence, in order to keep their jobs.
So this is my suggested question: #1 "If one slaveholder had two children in 1700, and managed to obtain ten slaves who made him wealthy, and he made a Will that passed down his wealth to each succeeding generation of children, how much wealth have those original ten slaves accumulated for that family who're still continuing the family business today, which has changed names over the centuries? Obviously my example is not complete; definite numbers need to be provided for those kids to work with.
Question # 2: How much wealth would the descendants of those original slaves have today, in a system that continues to penalize and obstruct them in all kinds of ways, to ensure that slavery is continued by other names? And how much would their compounded share be today, if their rightful reparations were obtained?
It’s as simple as that. Let us leave white society with their Freedom of Speech rights, while we exercise ours also. So when Politicians, Educators, and other Civil Servants continue to covertly inflict the blows of slavery on the collective psychic of black people, (especially the minds of our impressionable, already hurting youths) let us flip the script to clearly showcase for those who want to plea innocence, to understand. Yes! Let us turn those opportunities into school lessons that get entered into the curriculum and textbooks, for now and evermore. Again, let us leave white society that is still subconsciously acting from the programming that their Law Of Exclusion once had for blacks. Which is; that blacks should not benefit from the society which their labor helped to create, therefore, it was the right of every white person to enforce such an injunction in every possible way. Thus today it is psychologically enforced, by continuous psychological warfare in Churches, Schools and bodies of Government throughout the land.
