5th grade teacher here.

One of the projects I do in class is to create a travel brochure for a country. Highlighting places to visit, one of which must be the capitol. (Kinda like those you see in hotel lobbies for the local attractions.)

Every year...every damn year..."WHY WON'T YOU LET MY DAUGHTER QUIN'TELLIESHA DO AFRICA AS HER COUNTRY!"
I do my best to explain, as I do every year, and eventually I just give in and then 4-5 days later, Quin'telliesha comes up to me and says, "I can't find out who the president of Africa is." or, "I can't find out what the capitol of Africa is."

"Take it up with your mom," Is my reply.

As an aside, in elementary school I remember having to color a blank map of Africa and the upcoming test was to match names and countries.

This came to mind recently when I looked at a map showing where Niger was. I was amazed at how many names had changed in the last 50 years or so.

Case in point, the Congo. I have lost track at this point, but variously French Congo, Belgian Congo, Kingdom of Congo, Republic of Congo, Zaire and on and on. And those are only the ones I recall. There is a list as long as your arm of various names over time.
Then it split into two chunks with confusingly similar names. As Billy Connolly would say, "Pay attention because it will all be different tomorrow".

good job you were there to attempt to enlighten those blacks, eh? But they didn’t learn despite your great white wisdom.[emoji20][emoji20][emoji17][emoji17]

Is that what you took away from his post? Or was that an attempt at a joke?

He seemed to be making fun of the educational standards of the minority community he is a teacher in. It it pretty hard to figure out exactly what he intended by that. Not sure what the made up exceedingly black sounding name was supposed to mean.

In the way presented it seems to be a funny story where you are supposed to laugh at the stupidity of the black parent.

Well if we're going to be ridiculous, might as well do it fully: shouldn't African Americans know a bit about Africa?

That is what makes his position as a school teacher in the community so good, he is part of the very system that failed them. It is more important that they learn about the history of important white places after all.
 
Amazing. Even when you're told what to expect you don't see it. Didn't you notice when I told you I was being intentionally ridiculous?

It really seems to me like you're simply unable to understand arguments, period.
