Introduction
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to erase, revise, or suppress the history and achievements of African Americans in the United States. This includes legislative efforts to remove Black history from schools, ban books that discuss racism, and suppress discussions of systemic oppression.
Former President Donald Trump played a key role in furthering this agenda by promoting policies that downplayed the realities of slavery, whitewashed America’s racist past, and stoked racial tensions. This lesson will explore:
- The Historical Pattern of Erasing Black History
- How Trump’s Policies Fueled the Erasure
- What the Bible Says About Nations That Hide the Truth
- How This Relates to Biblical Prophecy
- What We Must Do in Response
1. The Historical Pattern of Erasing Black History
The erasure of Black history is not new. It has been a deliberate strategy used throughout American history to:
Control the Narrative: If Black people do not know their true history, they cannot rise against oppression. Whitewash America’s Crimes: By omitting the truth, the oppressors remain heroes. Destroy Black Identity: Stripping history leads to self-hatred and assimilation into false identities.
Psalm 83:3-4 – “They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.”
This prophecy is fulfilled in how the history of the so-called Negro (the Israelites in captivity) has been hidden, distorted, or erased.
Examples of Historical Erasure:
- Burning of Black Wall Street (1921) – After Tulsa, many similar Black towns were attacked and erased.
- Rewriting Slavery in Textbooks – Texas schoolbooks once called slaves “workers” and omitted brutality.
- Blocking Reparations Discussions – Despite centuries of labor and economic theft, reparations remain off the table.
- Critical Race Theory (CRT) Attacks – Labeling any discussion of racism as “un-American.”
2. How Trump’s Policies Fueled the Erasure
Donald Trump actively pushed policies and rhetoric that downplayed Black history, dismissed systemic racism, and promoted white nationalism.
A. Banning Anti-Racism Education & Black History
Executive Order Banning Diversity Training (2020)
- Trump outlawed diversity and anti-racism training in federal agencies.
- Any training mentioning white privilege or systemic oppression was banned.
Trump’s Attack on the 1619 Project (2020)
- The 1619 Project highlighted how slavery shaped America.
- Trump called it “toxic propaganda” and pushed to replace it with “patriotic education” (which whitewashes history).
Florida’s Education Law (2023) – Inspired by Trump
- Led by Ron DeSantis (Trump’s ally), Florida passed a law that bans schools from teaching about systemic racism and forces them to teach that slaves benefited from slavery.
- Trump publicly supported these laws.
B. Defending White Supremacy & Racial Division
Charlottesville “Very Fine People” Comment (2017)
- After white supremacists marched, chanting “Jews will not replace us,” Trump refused to condemn them, instead saying:
“There were very fine people on both sides.”
Attacking Black Athletes Who Protested Racism (2017-2020)
- Trump called Colin Kaepernick and other Black NFL players “sons of b****”** for kneeling against police brutality.
- Instead of addressing racism, he labeled BLM as a “terrorist group.”
Encouraging White Nationalists & Extremists (2020 Presidential Debate)
- When asked to condemn white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys, Trump refused. Instead, he said:
“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.”
- This led to an increase in hate crimes and racial violence.
C. Opposing Police Reform & Defending Brutality
Trump’s DOJ Stopped Investigating Police Misconduct
- He ended consent decrees that monitored police departments for racial bias.
- Encouraged police to be more aggressive against Black protesters.
June 2020 – Tear-Gassed Protesters for a Photo-Op
- Trump ordered peaceful BLM protesters tear-gassed in Washington, D.C., so he could take a photo in front of a church holding a Bible.
Rolling Back Voting Rights Protections
- Trump and the GOP passed laws restricting Black voting rights under the false claim of “election fraud.”
3. What the Bible Says About Nations That Hide the Truth
The Bible speaks about nations that lie, oppress, and erase history to maintain power.
Isaiah 29:15-16 – “Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD… Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay.” America has flipped history upside down—hiding Black achievements and glorifying their sins.
Habakkuk 2:12 – “Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!” America was built on slavery, and their attempt to erase this truth will not go unpunished.
Jeremiah 50:33 – “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together…” Our oppression continues, but Yah will judge these nations.
4. How This Relates to Biblical Prophecy
The erasure of Black history is part of the end-time deception and persecution of Israel.
Revelation 12:9 – “The great dragon… deceiveth the whole world.”
- Lies about history are part of Satan’s deception before Yahusha’s return.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 – “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”
- Trump’s base believes lies about history, racism, and supremacy—a sign of judgment.
Deuteronomy 32:26 – “I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men.”
- The so-called Negro has had his true identity erased, fulfilling prophecy.
In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to reshape the narrative of American history, particularly concerning the experiences and contributions of African Americans. Policies and actions during President Donald Trump’s administration have played a significant role in this movement.
1. Executive Actions Against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives
In January 2025, President Trump signed an executive order terminating DEI programs within federal contracting and directed federal agencies to combat what he termed “radical DEI preferencing” in the private sector. This move was positioned as an effort to protect civil rights and promote a merit-based system. citeturn0search3
2. Investigations into Race-Based Programs in Educational Institutions
The Department of Education, under the Trump administration, initiated investigations into universities for alleged “race-exclusionary practices” in their programs. For instance, Carnegie Mellon University was among 45 institutions scrutinized for potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 due to their DEI initiatives. citeturn0news15
3. Challenges to African American History Education
The administration’s stance on DEI and related educational content raised concerns about the future of African American history courses. In Philadelphia, where African American history is a graduation requirement, officials expressed apprehension that federal actions against DEI could jeopardize such mandates. citeturn0search0
4. The 1776 Commission and “Patriotic Education”
In response to projects like The New York Times’ 1619 Project, which centers African American experiences in U.S. history, President Trump established the 1776 Commission. This initiative aimed to promote a version of American history that some critics argue minimizes the nation’s history of slavery and systemic racism. citeturn0search22
5. Impact on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
While the administration claimed to have increased funding for HBCUs, citeturn0search2 other policy decisions, such as cuts to the Department of Education and challenges to DEI programs, raised concerns about the broader support for these institutions. citeturn0news14
6. What We Must Do in Response
Teach the True History Ourselves
- Schools will not teach it, so we must teach our children.
Reject Their False Narratives
- America’s whitewashed version of history is a lie—we must seek the truth.
Prepare for More Racial Persecution
- The suppression of Black history is a sign that harder oppression is coming.
Separate from Babylon (Revelation 18:4)
- America is falling—our faith must be in Yah, not in this system.
Conclusion
The policies and actions during President Trump’s administration have significantly influenced the discourse around African American history and DEI initiatives. While some measures were presented as efforts to promote unity and meritocracy, they have also been perceived as attempts to diminish the recognition of systemic racism and the importance of African American contributions to U.S. history.
Trump’s policies helped erase Black history, strengthen white supremacy, and fuel racial tensions. The Bible prophesied that the oppressors would hide the truth (Psalm 83:3-4). Yah will judge America for its lies and injustices (Habakkuk 2:12). Israel must wake up, reject Babylon’s lies, and prepare for Yahusha’s return.
Are You Awake?
The erasure of our history is not just a political move—it’s spiritual warfare against Yah’s chosen people. Prepare, unite, and stand on the truth!
