Because they are racist, and many were even raised that way (a generational curse). It's not about color, and so many people don't "get it."

Jesus is Lord

All it takes is for ONE and I mean ONE black person to do ONE wrong thing and immediately we're all ostracized. We're immediately all labeled. As if we're a single entity all working together. It's so stupid it's maddening.

PassingThrough

Becuase of stereotypes if anythign and the fact that all the great accomplishments of African American are usually not taught in public school so people don't know about them.

The majority of these facts can be challenged. I'm not talking about gangsta rap or other "genious" inventions her, I don't even doubt...

Everything I need to know about black people I learned from Boogie Down Productions. I believe that if you're teaching history Filled with straight up facts no mystery Teach the student what needs to be taught 'Cause Black and White kids both take shorts When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture Ignorance swoops down like a vulture 'Cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor No one told you about Benjamin Banneker A brilliant Black man that invented the almanac Can't you see where KRS is coming at With Elie Whitney, Holly Selosy, Grand Bill Woods made the walky-talky Lewis Latterman improved on Edison Charles Drew did a lot for medicine Garrett Morgan made the traffic lights Harriet Tubman freed the slaves at night Madame CJ Walker made a straightin' comb But you won't know this is you weren't shown The point I'm gettin' at it it might be harsh 'Cause we're just walkin' around brainwashed The song makes the point that the educational system doesn't focus on the achievements of black people. I know when I was in school I didn't learn a thing about black culture aside from slavery.

To be honest black people built america but they dont get credit for that either ..the white people owned nothing created nothing but the image that they are better,stronger and smarter than every other race i find it ridiculous. The Asians make so much cars,clothes,toys,appliances you name it they probably made it,the Indians owned the america before the white men betrayed them and then stole it, the Africans has all the gold and diamonds but the white men stole it from them,the white men steals from everyone not trying to be racist but if you pick up a history book that is how the white race has survived throughout history by stealing,killing and destroying thats why other races back in the day refer to them as" the white devil" and im part Caucasian so please dont call me racist but if you do i dont care facts are facts.BLACK PEOPLE MADE THIS COUNTRY AFTER THE WHITE MEN STOLE IT FROM THE INDIANS IT WAS THERE BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS THAT BUILT THESE WALLS AND PAVED THESE STREETS WHEN THEY WERE SLAVES.
