It's amazing how some young people are ignorant of our past.
Its amazing how I'm sittin here LOOKING FOR BEYONCE in that pic...then realized that this thread is MONTHS old, and A&E has changed the picture since then, THUS changing what was linked from it....
Hey guys errbody needs to cheer up...because as soon as February ends the picture and all the activities they planned along with it will be gone until next Feburary :roll: :x
sad yet so true... :x ...people just don't realize how important our history is...I learn about George Washington year round but only hear about Frederick Douglass, Benjamin E. Mays, The Black Panthers, etc. in February...that's not right on so many levels...
And to take it even farther than that...The only people you get to learn about in school is MLK, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X<<(Maybe :? )....Like all of Black History revolves around those 3 people....What about Marcus Garvey, Stokley Carmichael, Zora Neale Hurston, Madame C.J. Walker....what bout these people????.....Without people like Madame C.J. Walker there would be no Oprah....Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison owe alot to writer like Zora Neal Hurston....Ya'llknow what Im gettin at....If ya'll wanna get a real lesson in black history call grandma and grandpa....they were the ones we see in the old news reels gettin sprayed with water hoses and havin dogs attack them......ask them if the police only did that during February????
Whew....Imma sit down now and hand it off to somebody else...

That is something that should be taken into someone else's own liberty. Do any of you know who Mikhail Gorbachev is? Probably the single most important man in all history.

That would be the former president of the Soviet Union (Russia). He almost singlehandedly led to the end of the Cold War in the mid/late eighties and eventually ended communism.
Around these parts, he's praised for helping end the Cold War, BUT, a lot of Russians dont much care for him because of their country's collapse.

I probably know more about Gorbachev than you do. Born in 1931, he was the last premier of U.S.S.R from 1985 to 1991. Inacted the policy of Glasnost, which opened up Russia to capitalistic ideas and economy. He carried the nation through the worst nuclear accident in history at Cherybol in 1986. He helped mend relations between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Became good friends with Reagan and came to a pact to start the destruction of nuclear arms, in which virturally ended the Cold War. The spread of democratic themes in Eastern Europe led to the overthrow of autocratic governments in Romania and eventually East Germany. After the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the U.S.S.R virtually collasped from a weakened economy that resulted from stockpling and building a military power and ignoring a deplorable economy. On 25 December 1991, Gorbachev resigned from power and the Russia we know today came to being with the ascension of Boris Yeltsin as president.
Gorbachev ran in the 1992 election, but only won less than 1 percent of the vote.
If you were trying to impress me with that, saying you know more about Gorbachev than me is a BOLD statement. Say, since you know so much about Gorbachev, he gave a small summit speech in 1990 after he won the Nobel Peace Prize. He mentioned something concerning Locke and Hobbes.
What was it, oh-so-smart one?

Well I do know about John Locke and Thomas Hobbes (The Leviathan), and I did know he won a Nobel Peace prize. However, I did not know about the summit speech that he gave. However, I did not like how you fixed your fingers to type such insulting words as "Have ya'll even heard of..." Don't come at us like that. It also trips me out how you act like you know it all and really don't know shat about us and how we benefit from academia. What I need you to do is to get off that superiority-inferiority complex and accept that some of us are aware of world events and the past than what you think. I got my eye on all of you.
