Bushwick 6th grader Ciro Ortiz has been spending the last few Sundays with a stand at the Bedford Avenue L stop, giving straight talk advice to straphangers the way only an 11-year-old can.

Like any superhero, Ortiz has a tragic backstory, which in this case is that he’s bullied by asshole kids at his middle school. Even in the face of that though, Ortiz’s mother says that he takes his profits and buys food and snacks for kids who can’t afford them. Truly, this is a child too good for both middle school and this Earth

Be the change, Ciro. From one bullied kid to another, you are doing the exact right thing. I love seeing young POC doing things like this. Proud of you!

Prof. Michelle R. Smith (Facebook.com)

An Ohio professor couldn’t ignore the things her student had to say in the essay about slavery and the impact of it on the lives of black people. Her student said slavery was “a positive thing… because people learned to fight for who they are.”

“In conclusion, through slavery people have learned to stand up for what they believe in and show off who they are. Many people see slavery as a negative thing because of all the damage it had on people, physically and mentally. But in the end, slavery was actually a positive thing for the world because people learned to fight for who they are. It all started when slaves were brought to the colonies in the 1800’s. Men and women were forced to live in terrible conditions as farm hands and some as house servants. No slaves were given the privilege of reading or writing as that might cause [sic] to learn how to escape. They were encouraged to raise large families and the slave women would be taken by their masters for sex. However, slaves would use the underground railroad [sic] to escape and many did. This simple act of courage changed the world. This started the beginning of a long flight for equal rights because slavery started segregation … Racism really came about after slavery however, slavery was something that really opened up people’s eyes.”

Here’s the professor’s response to that:

“Maybe all these angry Millennials are right. Maybe we do need a White History Month after all.

Because maybe if we taught the history of slavery and Emancipation and Reconstruction and Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement in terms of what white people were doing during these periods rather than what black people were experiencing. If we used the ‘great deeds done by great [white] men’ paradigm with which Western history is generally taught — if we completely subverted the black narrative the way we do the indigenous narrative, say, in teaching about the geographical expansion of the nation — then white kids would actually know what the fuck happened.”

This incident just teaches us a lesson of how history is interpreted by undereducated kids. They need to know what REALLY happened and why we’re still fighting. Give your kids a book about slavery for Christmas, teach them real things. Help stop this madness spreading. This could not be a positive thing:
