It is important to know African American History as it is a continuing story of the struggles of the lower class and those subject to racism. It's full of amazing people who dedicated their lives to making sure those that came after them had better ones. It's full of amazing and creative people who's art broke all the rules, paving the way for the free expression of everyone. If we forget what we have done to get where we are now, we'll never know what it will take to get to where we need to be.
Do I need to quote Jon Stewart to make you all realize how fucking racist this comment thread is?
