If you are a white person you have that luxury. The vast majority of books you will pick up will paint white people as great. As a Black person I have to make sure I look at things in context. White authors understandably write about white stories. White historians have lied so much about history trying to promote white superiority that they have lost all credibility except for the few that actually tell the truth. Context is everything. Thats why to this day little Black girls prefer white dolls. They get socialized from watching the constant stream of messages telling them white is right.I already explained I got a poor education. I grew up in the hood. Regardless Hans Anderson simply doesnt rate to me. Your turn of phrase is foreign to me because I never had a reason or desire to find out about him. His stories are unimportant to me. Sorry if that bothers you.All of this is of course a grand yet ineffective effort to explain away why he's so undereducated that he hasn't even heard of Hans Christian Anderson stories, that is like basic education for school children all over the world.I dont need a white person to provide morals for my kids. There are plenty of African stories that do the same thing. Face it. Your white author is only important to white people. You must be an idiot to think I would let white authors pollute my childrens minds.
yes----lots of stories written by Africans------same genre
I grew up in a small town-----the library was far away----
had to get there by bus------which required a fare. -----
there were essentially no books at home-----once I got thru
a tattered volume of the poems of shelly. ----I read everything
that I could get my hands on.............it is difficult for me to understand anyone who is so PICKY about what he reads. I was very lucky------my parents never interfered with my reading materials. I read the book "LOLITA" at about
age ten-----because it landed near me. I had no idea why
that book bothered anyone. Because of my eclectic and unrestrained reading-------I used to score OUT OF RANGE---

I think we all here realize that Blacks in this country have had a hard row to hoe, especially before the Civil Rights Movement. However, you limit yourself by passing by great literature if you just read books about Africans. There are many great Russian authors, English authors, etc. whose novels really don't relate to anything White people have done in America, but that doesn't stop anyone from reading them. I can't think of any educated Black person who would just limit himself to reading Black authors like Frank Yerby (The Foxes of Harrow) and pass by some of the world's greatest literature. The important thing for you to do for your children is to encourage them and give them some examples of Black people who have pushed themselves to get far in life. I come from the Bronx, and these Black people had the same type of education that I had in elementary and high school so they both no doubt had to read the same books in their English literature classes as I did. Look at what they achieved. I really admire them. And don't forget Colin Powell -- he also comes from the Bronx.

Personally I think the black community also is also to blame. When they have "leaders" like Farakhan, Jackson, and Sharpton race bating and blaming White People for everything and creating this culture of victimization, you get racist blacks with the mentality of Asclepias with a constant chip on their shoulder.
It is long past overdue for blacks to choose leaders which emphasize universal values that worked in lifting for all minorities, education, family, hard work, responsibility, perseverance, and entrepreneurship.
"A hard row to hoe" is putting mildly. Matter of fact its a downright insulting summation of the issue. I don't see anything useful in most of the literature white people claim as being great. The same thoughts, ideology, and works have been told over and over by Africans way before they ever occurred to white people. I dont limit myself to only Black authors. Limiting would imply I was not getting something valuable that was available only by reading white authors. I have read some books by white people that have turned out to be great works but these people are hidden from the general public and the issues they discussed are uneasily left to die somewhere in the corner. These people simply echo what I already know to be true. There only use is to use as examples that some whites knew the truth and tried to put it out there in the public despite it not being a popular truth. People like Gerald Massey, Godfrey Higgins, Count Volney, Sir Henry Rawlinson etc.Knows better than to take things at face value.you knows better? better than what?

What does the ugly duckling turn into? A Black swan or a white one? Thats just a subtle example of the socialization I was talking about. I barely recall reading Dickens but I know he was a racist. Same with Jack London. Why would I consider their works great? I do beleive their is a conspiracy to poison the mind of people against dark skin. The very word "dark" or "black" seems to conjure up negative connotations. I remember as a kid looking up the word Black and comparing it to the definition of white. It was downright obvious thats what was going on. Since then the dictionaries have changed the definition of Black but not white.If you are a white person you have that luxury.

The word black in Arabic "Abd" literally means slave. For example Abdullah means slave to Allah. What Arabs did to black Africans is exponentially worse than what whites did. Black Africans are being killed by African Arab Muslims because of their color and religion. But you racist blacks never complain about what Islam has done. I wonder why.
Not true. Black was considered the color of divinity by many cultures. India had Black gods and considered white evil. Them same held true for Egyptians as well.What does the ugly duckling turn into?

it's not a conspiracy-----light had been contrasted with dark
as good vs bad thruout the world for thousands of years. DAY vs night. The problem arises only if skin color
becomes ATTACHED to that concept. The most skin color
persons I have ever encountered (repeatedly) are from south-east Asia-----both Pakistanis and Indian, both Hindu
and Muslim -----they had it before the British got there. Even the ancient Egyptians played that game

Meh, we are talking about America, not "White people", where blacks still have it better than any other country in the world. Others with the "wrong looks" like Asians have emigrated here, and now are some of the highest achievers academia and other sectors. Again, it goes back to those universal values that work for all minorities. I never saw Asians form these Nation of Islam hate whitey groups that create this culture of victimization and govt dependence. Instead they rolled up their sleeves and went to work, and took advantage of the education provided in this country.
I also never saw an Asian or Hispanic making sure their children's learning experiences are limited to their own race. Actually I never heard of a school that makes it a point to teach anything that originates from black or African sources only. Unless it's one of these Nation of Islam or Mosque educational centers, which teach racism.
Hans Christian Anderson's stories have nothing to do with "race" in fact they teach independence and tolerance. You are truly pathetic and disgusting.

A Black swan or a white one? Thats just a subtle example of the socialization I was talking about. I barely recall reading Dickens but I know he was a racist. Same with Jack London. Why would I consider their works great? I do beleive their is a conspiracy to poison the mind of people against dark skin. The very word "dark" or "black" seems to conjure up negative connotations. I remember as a kid looking up the word Black and comparing it to the definition of white. It was downright obvious thats what was going on. Since then the dictionaries have changed the definition of Black but not white.If you are a white person you have that luxury. The vast majority of books you will pick up will paint white people as great. As a Black person I have to make sure I look at things in context. White authors understandably write about white stories. White historians have lied so much about history trying to promote white superiority that they have lost all credibility except for the few that actually tell the truth. Context is everything. Thats why to this day little Black girls prefer white dolls. They get socialized from watching the constant stream of messages telling them white is right.
There ya go showing your racism and lack of proper education again. This is the kind of crap they feed the ignorant and vulnerable at these Nation of Islam gatherings where evil white people are blamed for all the misery and problems in the world.
I don't know where this "reading material that depicts white people as terrific" is. Hans Christian Andersen wrote
"the ugly duckling"------that was not even a person. I used to like Charles Dickens----more than half the people he depicts are damned bastards I never got the impression that
MADAAM DEFARGE was a black lady. There were lots of books around in the 60s which had articles in which some very manipulative people INSISTED that there is an American white conspiracy to poison the minds of children
against dark skin. ----I did not know that the conspiracy extended to Denmark
it's not a conspiracy-----light had been contrasted with dark
as good vs bad thruout the world for thousands of years. DAY vs night. The problem arises only if skin color
becomes ATTACHED to that concept. The most skin color
persons I have ever encountered (repeatedly) are from south-east Asia-----both Pakistanis and Indian, both Hindu
and Muslim -----they had it before the British got there. Even the ancient Egyptians played that game
