Remember the Nazis and the Jewish. The "Chosen Ones by God." It is common for people to believe in sungods and of being the chosen ones. It is called racism.

This is amazing what they went through for us i think we need to have some feeling and stop acting the way we do to each other but i am very proud to have black roots because we are now the best and the chosen ones by GOD.

You ain't kidding. I got in trouble teaching 5th graders that Columbus allowed his cohorts to enslave Native Americans because he was a poor manager. But in my opinion, it's better to get in trouble speaking truth to power (and children) than to allow history's lesson to go unheeded. This was a fantastic project! I just love this video.

I bet most people don't know that. It's easier to teach a distorted perspective of history in schools than it is to account for an embarassing blemish such as the advocacy and institution of slavery. It's sad- but there is a responsibility upon each of us to learn about not only our own culture and heritage but to explore, on your own, the culture of the people you live amongst and interact with on a day to day basis. Thank you for the video!
