The white man's education makes me sick

For my friends who have been keeping up,
Im in this class again.
It sickens me that white people teach thier children this bullshit
Last month we discussed European Superiority
now were discussing why Africa fell behind.
In our discussion today the girls are saying that the Africans were shifty and not to be trusted
then another girl says that the European slave trade crippled Africa (finally)
then another girl 'You cant blame it all on Europe, I'm sure there were other factors and that even if the Europeans never came they still would have fallen'
this truly makes me consider placing my children (when I have them) in a mainly Afro-centric school. I dont want them to be taught this shit.
I Just dont understand why we ALWAYS focus on European History. I could even see if the class was European History or even American History. But this is supposed to be "Emergence into Global Society" i wasnt aware that Europe was the global society.
What about Mansa Musa's Haj? The History of the Aztecz, Incas, and Mayan?
I'm sure the caste system in India would be wonderful to learn about or how Japan kept its Isolationist values and kept peace for more than 200 years..
But noooo... Were forced to learn about the industrial revolution
or that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue
he thought he was gonna fall off the fucking edge of the world
thank god i have a mind to think outside of this shit,
and its so unfortunate that others are blindly 'learning' this shit
ugh
it makes me SICK.
