Who taught black people that slaves built this country?

It seems widely believed among todays black community...thus white people privileged from it...
Why is it believed?
Builds animosity...
Then we had Obama telling America "you didn't build that" (because government provides so much)
It's all so confusing

It’s taught in public schools.

It's literally part of public school curriculum

I wanted to tell that to the thousands of Irish immigrants that died from yellow fever digging the New Basin Canal.

In fairness there was some labor on Whitehouse?
Otherwise my guess is Slaves did very minimal building sans wealth for a very select few plantation owners.

Interesting...
Wasn't taught when I went to school in 70 and 80s.
Some people benefited from slavery...
But that doesn't translate into what we have today.
Those dots do not connect

Because slaves were too valuable to risk using them.

Not only that. It’s taught that capitalism is evil.
I had no idea the type of shite my 5th grader was being force fed until this quarantine.

The people who benefitted lost everything thing in the Civil war, this country was built off intellectual minds and headstrong Patriots

Please elaborate if you’d like. I’d be very interested to know what they’re teaching kids

Does anyone have a copy of this curriculum or quotes from some history books.

Not the railroad. That was mostly built by Chinese wage slaves.

It is absurd.
Slavery is a stain but it is a short chapter in the history of our country.
The building of our country is much more complex and has many variables. I may be called a racist for this. So be it. I no longer care.

Every white person was a plantation owner, obviously.

It is now a core part of political messaging that America is fundamentally and irredeemably racist. And that message is being pushed by both the political and economic elite.
Reason being, if the original sin of slavery means that America is truly broken right down to her core, then none of the failures of today can be blamed on those who currently hold power. As long as we’re focused on hating the other side of the isle, we’re not focused the systematic destruction of American jobs or the industrial-scale buying of political influence. Nah, who needs to worry about those minor side-issues while we’ve got 400 years of racism to rewrite!

It drives me crazy that this notion will almost always go unchallenged.
The very real issue of uncompensated servitude aside:
Without out those ships built in Bristol by white men, that sail with the help of instruments like the compass invented by the Chinese, and the astrolabe invented by the Greeks, to textile mills in European cities established by whites, located in industrial cities created by white folk...that cotton is still sitting on some dank arse Mississippi River dock.
