So today I was told by my "friends" and teachers that blacks contributed absolutely nothing to the building (physical) of America, perpetuating their preconditioned belief in racial superiority, and even going so far as to say that blacks have no noteworthy history! I have tremendous amounts of historical evidence to negate those statements, and disprove their theory of "racial superiority", but I find trouble in knowing that even those who I thought were my friends, and the teachers I trusted with my education would deliberately try to make me believe that I was born into a race that contributed nothing to the world, and was good for nothing but picking cotton. Ive come to the realization that a great majority of whites think this way either consciously or subconsciously...some just hide it better than others.
