I'm going to have to play the devil's advocate here. How can you say, before blacks were brought to america you were royalty? I'm sure there were some kings and queens and all that forced to come to america, but I would bet that most were commonfolk, people that were out working and were ambushed. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know much about black history prior to being brought to America. I just think saying that is like saying everyone in England is royalty.

Also, I do think what they teach children about American history is horrible. Columbus didn't discover America, the Civil War wasn't about slavery, and the Emancipation Proclamation did NOT free any slaves! The only ones it freed were the ones still in the CSA, and you can't make a law governing another country. I didn't learn any of this stuff the right way until high school.
