“Black history is American history, but for too long, the story we have told was insufficient and inadequate,” said Governor Northam. “The introduction of this groundbreaking course is a first step toward our shared goal of ensuring all Virginia students have a fuller, more accurate understanding of our history, and can draw important connections from those past events to our present day.”

Governor Northam Announces Launch of New African American History Course
RICHMOND—Governor Ralph Northam announced that students in 16 Virginia school divisions will be able to increase their understanding of African American history by participating in a new high school-level elective course this academic year.
“Black history is American history, but for too long, the story we have told was insufficient and inadequate,” said Governor Northam. “The introduction of this groundbreaking course is a first step toward our shared goal of ensuring all Virginia students have a fuller, more accurate understanding of our history, and can draw important connections from those past events to our present day.”

Black history required for Eagle Scout award, Black History required for graduation of High School, what is next?
Kids don't even know American history just ask them!
You really gotta love this POS. He gets caught being RACIST. Goes to the RACIST VMI. Then bends over backwards with ASININE ideas like this. Trying to show he's not a RACIST. I think he's a RACIST and pedophile. I think that will be the next shoe to drop about this idiot.
Its apart of American History so why not? Should have been told years ago!
Of all people. Hypocrite
Racism class is all it will be.
Northam advocates killing infants.
Being outraged at a history class just shows the guilt within you all.
MLK banged underage girls. As long as we are airing all our legends' dirty laundry, just make sure it is ALL THE LEGENDS. If rape victims knew that, bet they wouldn't much care for MLK statues.
Northwest Woodsman: Should take no more than ten minutes to cover everything one needs to know about Africans in America and negros in general. I must add that I have known a very few in all my years that are decent people who demonstrate proper behavior.
Teach all History of the development of this GREAT country.
Really 1251?
We are seeing “their” history right before our eyes and it is nothing to pass along or educate anyone with. Nope, not good.
Will there be photos of his black face in the books. Or better yet, be wearing his klan attire? For a supposedly White boy he sure is a simple dude. Guess that’s what qualifies him to be in government.
I agree with 12:25... just expand on American history and include it. Why does everything these days need a color beside. Fg racist!...smh..mho
It’s designed to create division
Black history is American history....

How many black boy scouts are there? How many black kids actually graduate from high school?
Does anyone wonder why blacks hate our Southern Heritage, our Confederate history and our U.S. history? They are taught to hate white America in everything we do.
There's a whole month already dedicated to black history.

Do you get a merit badge after letting the Scoutmaster fondle you? Do you get a merit badge after letting the Scoutmaster jump in the sleeping bag with you?

I agree with you but I will argue that VMI is NOT racist. Just because Pedo Northam was fortunate to attend doesn't mean it is racist.
Comments like this make me question why I even fought for this country. Whatever Northan was or may still be at least he's willing to change for the better of all American's unlike the people with these comments.
@12:09 Black history is American history POS

I have a feeling you are a freaking LIBTARD!!
Black history is taught all year round and they also force black history down our throats every single day in February.
I don't need to know anything else.
I've learned all I need to know about black history after the slaughter of Cannon Hinnant by a black man and the media refuses to talk about it every day.
#CannonHinnant
#SayHisName
Students will be expected to do the following by the end of the course:
*Identify and understand the African origins and developments of the Black experience in North America;
*Evaluate how African Americans have shaped, contributed, and have been shaped by the institutions, policies, and laws established by federal, state, and local governments;
*Evaluate and interpret the various paths of civic responsibility that led to quests for equality, justice, and freedom for individuals and communities facing barriers and oppression based on race, class, and gender; and
*Analyze and understand how the institution of slavery in the United States shaped beliefs about race and the supremacy of one race over another and influenced America’s economy and politics.
"Analyze and understand how the institution of slavery in the United States shaped beliefs about race and the supremacy of one race over another and influenced America’s economy and politics."
This right here^^^ is the real reason for this. They want to teach how Southerners were racist people and they want to justify removing our Southern monuments.
what page will he be on? cant wait to see the caption under neath
Black is where it’s at baby. Just ask your daughters.
2:39 that is just a scoutmaster taking a personal interest in the boy or boys.
Many of them don't have father's in the home and the man was showing them he loved them.
He whispers in their ears, stroaks their hair, rubs their backs. He might also hug them, and kiss them on the cheek or neck. Maybe even have them sit on his lap, is this pedo behavior? Joe Biden does it.
Bullshit to this no good baby killer!!!!
When will we have a mandatory course called. How to civil and black in America.
Or, how to be black and not a criminal
How about. Blacks can be fathers too.
1:28. Yes. There is video of him on a show saying that the mother and doctor will make the baby comfortable until they decide wether they should let it live or kill it.
12:24 Did he wear his black face while announcing it?
12:57 Not being outraged this was announced by a man who wore a black face shows how utterly unintelligent you are. Point fingers all you want. But you are a self righteous hypocrite. 🤷♀️
2:39 No but he probably got to watch 2 lesbo “scouts” get it on in the adjoining tent. ;)
Now can we do a “How to fix the black culture” Course???
I'm sure you would know exactly how to fix black culture!
Time for White History Month in Virginia !!!!
The weak White Cowards in Virginia had the perfect opportunity to run him out of office after the Black Face Scandal but the caved in and gave up. Coward Republicans!
It would be a much more memorable course if Northam taught it himself, in blackface, of course.
Virginia needs a WHITE American History Course !!!!!!!
Well now damn it, what about the Irish after all the British practiced on us first before importing Africans. What about all the children ages 8 thru 16 years old who many never saw their next birthday, because they were worked to death. What I just said is fact ,the info exsist in the Washington Archives.
You people need to stick to the subject😤
