Historically Correct or Politically Incorrect?

I saw this today on the news. Thoughts?

Parents, NACCP Upset Over Black Children Allegedly Told To Pick Cotton In Slavery Lesson - cbs13.com

Parents and teachers in Charlotte, North Carolina are furious after their children were chosen to illustrate a slavery lesson during a field trip to a local plantation.

They say the hands-on history lesson at the historic Latta Plantation during a Rea View Elementary class trip Wednesday was way out of line and unnecessary.

But tour guide Ian Campbell, who is black, says he was just trying to be historically accurate when he selected three black students out of a mostly white group to portray cotton-picking slaves.

Campbell told WSOC-TV, "I was trying to be historically correct not politically correct."

The president of the local chapter of the NAACP told the news station Campbell should have put sensitivity first.

"There is a lingering pain, a lingering bitterness, a lingering insecurity and a lingering sense of inhumanity since slavery," said President Kojo Nantambu. "Because that's still there, you want to be more sensitive than politically correct or historically correct."

What izembo said, but I bet people will be afraid to place the race card because of that. If he was white, shit would be all let loose even if he presented the same sentiment.

And its shit like this that sets humanity back far more then the original actions ever did.

Is it historically correct to hang the tour guide for being politically incorrect?

Charlotte NC baby! Whats fucked up is that school is in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte iirc, which is the extremely rich part of town.

Plenty of black people are in some essence ashamed of the fact that blacks were ever slaves in the first place. So it usually invites inmediate outrage.

I prefer the term Indentured servitude, at least niggas had jobs and didnt steal my shit back then.

I don't understand. Why are black people ashamed of the fact blacks were slaves in America at one point? Jews aren't ashamed of the Holocaust. Angry, upset, sad, but not ashamed. Should be proud of survival and escape, not ashamed you were stuck in that position at some point.

Of course, I'm not black so I can probably not understand properly.

[Mizango]

lol

[510Meeze]

Not that many escaped or survived...

They should be proud. They got to move to the best country in the world free of charge.

You're wrong. He's a black woman.

[Mizango]

Neither is Kuya.

Actually Kuya is a passionate black female, have you not seen pictures? That fool is what we call a "dime".
