In a large magnet public school in Brooklyn, I learned about 40 acres and a mule. But this was in the college level AP US History class since I never took the normal class.

Shoot yourself for that one!
PLUS, we do not have any money. All you will get are clothes.  (you really do not have a clue, do you?)
For clarification: go to my post re: the Black Teen pageant for the definition of "you", so folks will not get it twsted.
ON a serious note: I see that the educational system (history teachers) have failed some. Did they not teach the unit that explores the 40 acres and a mule concept? No, it's not a joke, it's a serious matter. I guess the teachers just went to the part where the Civil War was over and the Emancipation of Proclamation was signed and Abe Lincoln was assassinated and that's it... oh well...
