I don't believe in racism, however I do see where some of my peers hate comes from. There is alot of violence against whites that goes unspoken of so if they choose to be angry and hateful I won't ask them not to be however I would ask them not to be violent to anyone. As for your ridiculous claims let's debunk a couple: This isn't American education "systematically" not talking about any of this, you need to understand, the entire world doesn't talk about any of this, perhaps because it doesn't exist? Why would we talk about Egypt so readily but not these "advanced civilizations from the past?" Trade routes across the sahara, to where? Saudi arabia? It's a desert on the northern tip of africa. We know they weren't trading with that region of the world because we'd know about them from history and the bible and ANY other religious text. Or In cultures like the IVC which is one of the earliest known civilizations. They did not teach around the world, look at any culture of that time Africa was not apart of it. Your next point is to find information; man I gotta tell you you can't trust everything on the Internet. It's Internet 102, so I won't hold it against you because you're not there yet. Also let me explain to you "the dark ages" which isn't even historically accurate as Europe during these commonly called "dark ages" wasn't dark at all It was actually full of life and progress that just wasn't recorded as well so we refer to it as such. It is actually the medieval ages you are thinking of, and let me explain. We built castles like NONE other in the world. We built cities and dynasties that lasted hundreds of years. And finally, it was only a few hundred years ago, not thousands. Also I should throw in the "modern technology" that's thanks to Americans. Literally 170 years and up till recently. The informations out there all you have to do is look. Cars, railways, planes, computers, electricty, nuclear energy,
