I re-read Miseducation of the Negro for the 4th or 5th time about 3 months ago, and continue to marvel at the accuracy of it 80 years after it's publication where the issues facing Black folk are concerned. I look forward to participating in the carnival. A timely topic.

The original carnival was set to debut in early July, but I had a lot of offline problems and commitments emerge then. I can set up the details there as well and link it on this entry.

It is a subject I hope to deal with, more in depth. But, Yes, we have been mis-educated and the same is happening to our children. Someone recently wrote that when it comes to "racism", the younger generation "just doesn't get it". One of the reasons they don't "get it" is because of who is doing "the teaching". There is this line of teaching: "Racism is race hate bigotry, and anyone can be a racist"... not that racism is based upon the ideology of white supremacy. Newspapers and other mass media now perpetuate this idea that black ministers, such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, are racists. They even have some older black folks thinking the same. But young black children have subscribed to this falsehood. Hence, whenever they see a black minister protesting some issue of racial discrimination or injustice, they are unable to see the rationale of the minister's action, because they are conditioned to think of them as "opportunists" and "civil rights pimps". Therefore, when black ministers do stand up on issues, they do not receive the respect and support they need from the younger generation. THIS IS DUE TO MIS-EDUCATION, otherwise I call "Brainwashing". Thank you for posting this carnival. It is a subject I hope to deal with, more in depth.
