The whole "race thing" has generated a lot of commentary. I am not a scholar but I enjoy reading and have always questioned the gaps in our education and the Real History.

Black History is not Black, it is American but shunted off into the corner peddled as an "other" story so you don't have to pay attention to it, because that is their story not yours. That is false, this is our story as Americans.

Maybe some of this is too ugly for us to comprehend today, but this is where we came from and "we've come a long way baby".
