Why do I have to make a case for it? Because you want it .🙄 No, I said I see no reason why it shouldn't be taught. I still don't. |

Shocking news today. A new survey has revealed that more than half of British adults cannot name any black historical figures and only 7% can name more than four. The survey was conducted by YouGov for Bloomsbury Publishing.
Shouldn't something be done about this?
Yes, we should have something like a set amount of time where the history of blacks and their contribution to society could be highlighted for those interested enough to learn about them. We could give it a snappy name like non-Caucasian history lunar cycle. |

I gave you a very good reason, yet you claim you're in a superior position to know best. That's arrogance with a strong stench of racism. Why support something when you don't really have respect for the actual people? Ok, there's a lot to unpack there, but how about we stick to discussing the subject rather than discussing me? You're the one who basically put forward a claim of being an expert, or at least somebody who is in a superior position than the marbles. Now you don't want to talk about it? Fine, I will stick to my assertion. |

Fill your boots . You can have two months if you want , as long as you don’t involve schools and colleges . Why shouldn't schools and colleges have black history on their curriculum? What gives you or I the right to decide that for them? Why should they? What gives you the right to decide that they should ? I have no problem with Black history on the curriculum. An afternoon would cover it , Chinese history a week and Indian sub continent a few days maybe . |

Imagine making a film about Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther, with a white man playing the part, we'd never hear the last of it from the lefty woke snowflakes, the producers, directors and anyone involved they would be demanding they never work again, it's a insult, it's racist .... blah blah blah Yet no outrage when a black person replaces a white person, it's fine ...

So who do you think should decide what schools and colleges do and don't include in their curriculum? |

It’s not my view it’s a fact . You have not only failed to produce a convincing case, you have not provided any case . |

Fine, I will stick to my assertion. I never said I was an expert or in a superior position. Not directly, but that's clearly what you meant. Why else would you mention it? That's a rhetorical question. |

Sensible people.ie people who are not silly enough to believe a black history month is warranted yet unable to make a case for it . |

You have not only failed to produce a convincing case, you have not provided any case . Surely saying "I see no reason" is a statement of fact is simply not factually correct, it's a statement of opinion? I have not set out a case because I haven't advocated for it, I've said I see no reason why people who know a lot better about the subject than me shouldn't include it on their curriculum. |

No it's not what I meant, I'm autistic which among other things means there is no hidden or double meaning in anything I say. I say what I mean and mean what I say, not because I am honest but because I lack the neurological hardware to do anything else. |
