John Oliver takes a look at how the history of race in America is taught in schools, how we can make those teachings more accurate, and why it’s in everyone’s best interest to understand the most realistic version of the past.

ReplyNice segment, but looks like John’s lighting is just him in his high school photo, or maybe it is.
ReplyIf you really look at history, george Washington was a horrible horrible person. Actually many of our presidents are way too worshipped.

1:56, wait, but if the U.S history curriculum used at schools fails to mention the Tulsa massacre, wouldn’t that mean that most black people wouldn’t know about it either? Just curious here, I’m not from the U.S, so I have no idea what history education there looks like and how interested certain groups are in their own history

And I actually kinda find US history so sad to the point where it’s boring global history is my kinda thing
ReplyI hate history, not because it’s not interesting, but because I don’t want to have an existential crisis.
ReplyJesus Christ… as a German, I have to say all of this is properly fucked up.
ReplyRepresentative Omar is an intelligent and thoughtful person if I had a daughter I would be proud if she was like the representative
ReplyYep, this accurate. This is the problem with American history and race. People would rather pretend these things don’t exist than face the truth that America while a great nation, has a both wonderful yet terrible history. Too many people are too happy with singing the praises of Americas past but too silent when speaking about it’s atrocities. Always using the Lincoln, Martin, and Obama defense to avoid any topic when it comes to race.
ReplyGeorge Floyd pistol whipped a pregnant woman and he died of a pulmonary condition, not strangulation and had fetanyl in his system. There you go kids, you can grow up to be a piece of shit and the world will turn you into a hero/martyr
