No child left behind was a mistake. The way I know these people think the earth is flat and that the Illuminati is real. I’d like the age of conspiracy theories being so popular to be over

Press x to doubt. I’ll believe or when I see the car fax.

33% of Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows… it’s fucking sad, and insane. I am, and pretty much since elementary school, have been, embarrassed to be an American.

America has done such a horrible thing not investing in education. I think they have been defunding education over the past 40 years..

Adria

Not the K West of HT…. The second hand embarrassment I feel from watching this girl be so confidently dumb on the internet is unreal.

That lady’s spew actually made me feel less intelligent, and a little dirty (not in a good way) yikes…although great rebuttal, rebuke, retort, etc..Bob‼️💯‼️

Small story: i hooked up with this guy in his car once and afterward we just started talking about life and stuff. Somehow we got on the topic of niggas and black people. He told me he wasn’t a nigga (he was clearly black) and that he learned this after he came home from school one day and told his grandmother about how he learned in school that black people were slaves that were bought and captured in Africa and brought to the US. Then his grandmother told him that was a lie and that black people, his(our) people are actually native to this American land. I said how is that possible when there are american indians/natives that are native to here and he said that those indians arent from here they are from mexico and they’re just mexicans that immigrated here. I said then why are there black people in africa. He said that the white people were native to europe and africa and when they came here they didn’t want us here so they either enslaved us or sent us to africa because they didn’t want that land anymore. The entire time i’m just like i just let this nutjob eat my ass… i hope i dont become stupid. He continued on talking about other conspiracies about how americans are brainwashed and everywhere else in the world has different history than us and they know the truth about black people and slavery and who’s actually native here. I try to tell him well that’s not really true. Yes, the american government does try to shield us from some information and things but there are people, independent organizations separate from the government that have taken on the task of holding documents of history, doing the research, seeking truth in information that helps us write history and truth. it’s not perfect but it helps things be verifiable. and i additionally tried to tell him that different countries do have different standards and ways of how they teach history it’s not america vs the world, it’s literally every single country vs eachother. the winners in history are the ones who typically write and dictate what the history is and the opposition within the world and in those countries put in their information too and it’s not usually two sides it’s multiple opinions and views that start to validate and back up consensus narratives of what most likely happened. He didn’t understand that perspective and it was truly worrisome and scary. You bringing this up from tiktok (no longer have it i gave it up in january after that whole bow down to trump situation) is crazy that people are actually thinking this way and just confirms the experience i recently had.

There are so many fantastic bios of Harriet Tubman but there is a new book - Combee : Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom During the Civil War by Edda L. Fields Black that i cannot recommend enough. It covers her leading a major military operation in the United States when she and 150 African American Union soldiers rescued more than 700 slaves in the Combahee Ferry Raid during the Civil War. This raid was the inspiration for the Black lesbian group the Combahee River Collective in the late 1970s too. Easy link: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/combahee-ferry-raid

spit out my coffee at the "underground" definition -cmon Bob the historian* *history buff

Marchmain

This is worse than Porsha Williams thinking the underground railroad was an actual train that ran underground.

Malachi Cleary

What the heck if she talking about 😭😭

Anique McMillan

She really needs a timeline and a high level overview of the civil war. Bc she’s in another dimension with this 🤣 she’s time hopping

leafy

videos like that girl’s just reminds me how desperately we need better media literacy. i work in a public school and the blatant misinformation i hear from TEACHERS is wild. it is so incredibly easy to go down these rabbit holes of conspiracy theories, lies, and propaganda because so many folks do not understand how to tell if a source is credible. 😩😩

D

The way I have no time for these hottep pussy magic black is king conspiracy folks

Pete Hoyt

The consistent incorrect usage of ‘Mason-Dixie’ was a bit distracting. But it’s WILD that this is where we are in America. 🤦🏻‍♂️

thomas reddy

Solid history-based rebuttal. Bob does history well! Loved the empathy at the end.

Tamario

Bob doing the Lord's work

Tiny crosson

when you loud and wrong but you wanna be woke so bad

Jack

clip this into like 68 parts and let the tiktok girlies eat it up

Lillian

Hoteps and Hebrew Israelites are literally the bane of my existence

beth h

Honestly this just makes me think the Republicans in red states are winning their goal of dismantling the education system and it's sad. Appreciate your thoughtful response Bob 💜

S La

Bob, thank you so much for this. I hope this gets to them somehow but I doubt they'll watch

Breo

I would love to see more content like this!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 history is so interesting to me, and it’s easy to digest when you break it down Roberta ! Por favor make morrrrre

Angela Jane

Yike, Bob. That was hard to watch. You did a good job keeping the tone calm and sticking to facts. I don't have it in me to even be on any social media because of the chaos and misinformation- it stresses me out too much!

Empress Akilah

I hate that u even had to make this. Anti intellectualism will truly be the death of us. The people so dumb to just run with some internet talk about her not being real and believing it, are the same ones she would have shot lol

Alex

Your kindness in trying to explain this was kind of amazing. I could not deal with someone that confidently wrong. I'm also still not sure that person is *that* stupid or if it's a grift of some sort.

Clint R.

Great video. FYI … it’s the Mason-Dixon Line

Evamb

That video was so depressing. Makes you wonder why even send kids to school if they don't learn a damn thing. This woman's post made me worried for humanity. Thanks, Bob, for your kindness and intellect.

Maya 💜✨

Oh lordt. Bob was the first person i thought of when i saw that bs on tiktok...

Jay Las

The incorrect overuse of "ironically" was the worst part imo Loved the video Bob thank you

sab

People say the same thing about helen keller... it's actually crazy

Kimrific

It's crazy that its even a thing. They must be drinking the same water as flat earthers, holocaust deniers, and incels.

THEY Agenda Productions

This reminds me of that episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta episode where Porscha was tryna figure out how they got a train they a church, cause she thought it was a literal railroad 😭😭😭

Kimrific

As someone with a history degree, its very easy put on your thinking cap and come to the wrong conclusion. You could see this beautifully painted oval pot and think it is a gravey boat. Turns out it is a bourdalou with the residue of piss from the 1700's. Bob does a great job of sharing information without shaming or judging which is very difficult for hidtory people to do.

CeeXee

She must have been trolling. Reconstruction? Buildings?? Yeah a true jokester

Jinj Divine

It bums me out this video is even needed. I love the book.

Alana Rodriguez

This was kinda wild but also I kinda loved like the history style video!! I could listen to bob explain the most random topic and still be SAT for it. Lmao 💕

Prince Vince

I was SCREAMING at my phone…why did this make me so upset that people believe this person

Nicol

This ignorant heifer made a rebuttal video? I can’t . Bob, thanks for trying to help educate these dumbasses. People this stupid make me sad. Not everyone should have a mic.

paola maranan

That this video is actually necessary is heartbreaking. This is what she understands based on Black history actually having been available in schools. What the hell is going to happen now with the active efforts to eliminate our history? We can’t all be doing this DIY Dollar Store “research” and “analysis.”

Jeremy Weatherspoon

She is loud and wrong. Confusing the Underground Railroad with the Tuskegee Airmen is WILD!
