MOST DO NOT WANT TO KNOW
MOST DON'T WANT TO KNOW
Not only were we not taught the history of black peoples in school, neither were we taught the history of the English people, nor of the Christian Church, nor of any other antecedents, meaningfully, except that of modified state-approved, American curricula as propaganda .
Even this would not have been so bad, had not the spirit of learning, of self-discovery and inquiry, had also not been suffocated in so many vulnerable children's minds.
Thus, the consequence is a people who are not merely predictably ignorant of their cultural origins, but who are lacking sufficient drive, interest, curiosity to want to know, nor much of anything else besides!
Most Americans do not even want to know anything else beyond that vapid educational state-approved propaganda programming that they were fed. These deficits in most of its people explain American history.
