Is history all that matters or even the most important?

I have been suggesting this:

Amazon.com: Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics (0639785330844): Stan Gibilisco; Stan Gibilisco, Stan Gibilisco: Books

I had a White man that hangs around a Black website tell me it's a great book but no Black people have said anything about it.

The history of the last 500 years has been a record of what people with technology can do to people without technology and the people without technology can't do a damn thing about it. This excess emphasis on Black history is a waste of time.
