Why schools do not teach about the genocide of the African and American peoples?

[rondorondo]

During the colonization of the African and American continent, many crimes against humanity have been committed (murder, expulsion of people, deportation, forced labor, slavery...). About all this is said little or nothing. Many European countries have participated in this and have literally destroyed many people, especially on the American continent, and have never publicly acknowledged their crimes. Communion of Aztec culture and the destruction of the Inca civilization, forcing African tribes to work in mines (the most brutal example is the Congo) the biological attack that occurred in North America against the alliance of the tribe of the Great Lakes during the time of the chief Pontiac does not learn and is not mentioned in the schools? Is it considered that these victims are less valuable and do not deserve to be spoken about or that Victims were needed to create a "better and more civilized world"?

First off, history is written by the victor. To keep that in mind I agree that the truth of history should be taught in all schools today not just those of European descent. The Aztecs were brutal and did kill most, if not all, their neighbors for slaves. The African tribes killed, sold, and kept in slavery members of other tribes as well as Europeans. Arabs did the same. Europeans did the same. When the Europeans came over to the American continent they had diseases that they were immune to but the natives were not. This spread unintentionally amongst the populace killing millions. They did even use it as a weapon when realized. Keep in mind history is brutal and violent on all sides of history.

Am not sure where you are posting from. Probably the Americas or Europe, but in Africa we are taught the history of slavery, imperialism, genocide in Congo Zaire as you mentioned and the apartheid in Southern Africa as well. But your point of no acceptance of crime and apologes is not wholly true. Countries like Denmark and Holland have mostly pleaded to their old colonies on atrocities caused during their trade and reigns on them. But a lot needs to be done, the wealth smuggled to Europe could be returns and somw of this nations will benefit from that immensely

They also don't teach about the true story of September 11. You cannot really learn history at school.

Hm, probably it is not taught in schools in the country where you live. I remember when I was a schoolboy we were told at school about all of these horrible things.

[MisO69]

From what I've looked into the Africans have been enslaving each other way before white man got there. The Native Americans did similar things.

It seems like you want to demonize white folks for crimes while ignoring the fact that its human beings that perpetrate these crimes. Skin color or ethnicity has nothing to do with this. Its one group oppressing another group. Its how we humans have survived thus far.

[Sundark]

History is not objective. It's written in a way it needs for the government. We don't know many things that are secret or told oppositely.

[rondorondo]

for the same reason your people might choose not to concentrate on teaching shakespeare or the english civil war, these events might be central to your national history and story but they are peripheral to ours and not necessarily things we chose to focus on. in other words they are of greater importance to you than they are to us. how about you stop blaming europeans for why your countries are shit places to live? the chinese and koreans had a terrible time of it under japanese occupation but you don't see them letting their countries go to the dogs while doing nothing but whine about how evil the japs are.

 
 First I come from the Europe so that I do not blame the Europeans for the situation in my country. And i learned Shekespeare but also Dostoyesky,Goethe,Viktor Hugo..   But if we are talking about Great Britain, do you really think that they have become dominant  in the 17th, 18th, 19th. even in the 20.th century thanks to fishing and coal mines? I do not think so.

The real genocide happened in Australia and Americas, and not in Africa. The African population is now close to 1 billion and 99.9% of that is indigenous. On the other hand, there are hardly any natives remaining in Australia and the Americas. And perhaps that is the reason why the governments want to hide the history of genocide.

I am not sure where are you from but In my country, Our children have been taught about these genocides and my people are always condeming these bloody horrible genocides. Probably , your country is one of the countries who slaughtered African- american people. It is pretty obvious that your country's authorities want to hide history.

africans back then killed and ate each other like lions and krokodiles, back then a religious genocide was concidered a good thing actually, the religious genocide/war and inqusition was then followed by the erection of churches and the construction of counties emperors etc.

Because they won't tell theyr own people they actually are rich for abusing on the old times on other kind of civilizations.

the genocides in africa were religously motivated, the people there also surpressed each other and the entrance of european powers was for the lower parts of the society (similar like bitcoin in communal prisons today) an opportunity to escape (they baptised themselves and had chances to rise in the society), look for example on the indian christians, those were former lower casts untouchables, basically the bottom of the pyramid.

furthermore you miss an important part,

for religous people this world is some kind of a video game, god places you in it to have fun, or to do a religious goal and after that, you are awaking in some kind of ultimate civilastion of lots of fun, where everyone has his own global bitcoin cryptocurrency monopoly alone for himself!!!

Confrontations existed everywhere. Even in Europe, the French were fighting against the Brits, and the Russians were fighting against the Swedes. Similar confrontations existed in Africa as well. But the Europeans made matters worse by providing arms and ammunition to the warring parties and encouraging one tribe to exterminate the other.

The history is written by the winners. These are awkward topics, they try not to raise them. In addition, the United States seems to be compensating for Native Americans and African Americans for the suffering of their ancestors. Conditionally, of course. This harm can not be compensated.

Why schools do not teach about the genocide of the BRITISH by the ROMANS ..

W.L.M =B.L.M = Shut the fuck up everyone was slaves and still are in all colours ..

Boo hoo Romans killed us and i want my rights..

Ok the Romans killed us and made us slaves BUT they gave us WHAT?..
What did the ROMANS give us the BRITISH ?..

Now if you go to AFRICA it's not like they help each other out is it as if to say OH look at those black Africans they behave better than white people..

So why does the next VILLAGE kill and burn the children over a fire also cut the woman's tits off ?..
I mean they are so more civilised than the whites are ..

How long before an AFRICAN would of invented space flight?..

How long before the British would of build roads?..

Now if you look in the USA many many blacks do really really well ..
Sports stars pop stars in the white house as president so if black was so bad in America they wouldn't even be any rich black folk..

I find many black people still moan over slave trade as if to say they are hard done by..
When if they went back to their native land they would be well worse off..

You cannot say AFRICAN AMERICAN when you have not even been there ..
And when you say your AFRICAN AMERICAN your saying you can choose both when really go and take a look at AFRICA ..

You kill the next village down the dusty road ..
And your leaders are the most corrupt leaders ever ..They are DIRTY RATS..

You say we whites are bad GO AND LOOK AT AFRICA..Corrupt murderers that's your leaders..

So i say if you live in the west as a black person you got the same rights as a white person so shut the fuck up..BOO HOO slave trade ..

White IRISH was slaves the same time you black slaves was ..
IS IT COZ I BLACK ..No it's because your a thick cunt ..

[snkneo]

There's just so much you can teach. So many subjects, topics, etc.

Also people can't really handle things, black or white, so it would just become a polarizing topics.

[buytheeffinD]

Simply put because schools are there to brainwash your pretty little brain into thinking the world was only a certain way. It is sad we don't make it more encompassing of the whole world but rather a niche part.
