It doesn't help that, in the fervour to amplify black contributions, there is a lot of embellishment, appropriation, and even outright lies, often at the expense of White pioneers. I know we won't agree on this point, yourself clearly being a proud black man and myself a proud White man, but that is the sense that I have around this topic now. If I'm being frank, I find that I am conditioned at this point to treat these claims with a great amount of suspicion, as they often appear to be motivated more so by racial interests than historical accuracy.
- blackqueeriroh 1y agoCan you please, in order to add effectively to the conversation, provide some links to the contributions of Black people that have been embellished, appropriated, and fabricated at the expense of white pioneers, please? At least five, thank you.
- jrm4 1y agoOh. Yeah, sorry man, you're rightly getting downvoted to hell here because you're absolutely wrong; it's the reverse that's more often true.
