        2 Black Teens Make 'Impossible' Math Discovery Unproven For 2,000 Years
I absolutely love it when our young People accomplish something positive. America and by extension the world paint all Blacks in a negative light. Even this will be scrutinized and belittled as a non-accomplishment! The American majority has always deemed us intrinsically inferior, yet we haven’t deemed them intrinsically evil. Judging by the death and destruction they’ve left in America in the…

Know Your Ancestry. Know Your History
Tumblr media
If you do not know your history, you will suffer at the hands of racism, discrimination and microaggressions.
You will experience self-hate, low self-esteem and hatred towards your own people. And you will never know why. You will want to be white, hate your hair, and make fun of the nose and lips that are so characteristic of us.
After you study, listen and learn, you will realize that all those feelings were a byproduct of assimilation. Of trying to fit into a white world with white standards that cut you out from the beginning.
When you understand that, you will stop trying so hard to fit in and instead you'll be yourself and walk into your power. Most importantly you will see your beauty!! And the beauty of others like you. And you will teach others too.
Don't underestimate the power of education. Although it does not protect you from suffering discrimination it will protect you from absorbing it and believing it.
I am proud to be black. But it wasn't always this way. It took work. Growing up in the diaspora can be lonely. So work too, so you won't fall for these traps.

Long before that, U.S. Black biologists had started cracking the glass ceiling of academic credentials. Graves credits Alfred O. Coffin as the first Black American to earn a biological Ph.D., awarded in 1889. He began a slow, intermittent series of Black Ph.D. biologists, who also struggled to get jobs befitting their credentials. Even now, while nearly 14 percent of the U.S. population is Black, Black scientists make up only about 3 percent of the resident Ph.D.s working in a biological discipline.
8 Other First Black PHD Earners
1876: Physicist Edward Alexander Bouchet
1907: Entomologist Charles Henry Turner
1915: Physiologist Julian Herman Lewis
1916: Chemist St. Elmo Brady
1921: Botanist Thomas Wyatt Turne
1925: Mathematician Elbert Frank Cox
1930: Anatomist Roscoe Lewis McKinney
1942: Geologist Marguerite Thomas Williams
His parents were born in 1920s Virginia. His grandfather started the migration north after a tip that the Ku Klux Klan was about to target him. His moonshine was getting too competitive with white suppliers’.
“Both my parents grew up under the constant threat of the lynch rope should they in any way sass a white person,” Graves writes. He was born in New Jersey in 1955. “
Graves attended largely white-majority schools that didn’t see his potential. His mother, Helen, was the advocate who won him his education.
