Black history should include a discussion of the black men who fought with George Washington. There were also black men who fought against Washington with the Tories. I would guess that history won't be discussed. That history does not gift you with $13.6 million in one fell swoop. I watched a presentation on documentary channel called "what do black men think". The synopsis was the their problems were caused by government largesse and black leaders perpetuating victim hood.
