Pretty soon, because America was conquered by the white man, any contributions any American made weather the American is black, brown, native American or Asian, history will argue that people like Martin Luther King, Tupac and so forth were white people. Some will argue that people like Tupac and Martin were native American and some will argue that people like that were black or probably Asian . This whole social construction thing just sounds like propaganda which will promote that the theft of contributions, land and identity is just one of those things.

Did you just put the "contributions" of Tupac up there with those of Martin Luther King?

Aside from putting those two together in the same sentence......this whole paragraph is borderline ridiculous.
