Cardi B has hit out at “one-sided” history lessons taught in U.S. schools.
The “WAP” star – who is the daughter of a Dominican father and Trinidadian mother – has taken to Twitter to educate Americans about the history of her ancestors.
One more thing I want to make clear to Americans.Colonization did not just happened in the USA .Actually the first diaspora boat and slaves arrive in The Dominican Republic.Our Haitian & DR brothers & sisters were put against each other by their colonizers Spain & France .

“One more thing I want to make clear to Americans,” she wrote. “Colonization did not just happened in the USA .Actually the first diaspora boat and slaves arrive in The Dominican Republic.Our Haitian & DR brothers & sisters were put against each other by their colonizers Spain & France.”
The hitmaker then bemoaned the U.S. education system, suggesting the population isn’t sufficiently well-informed about important historical events.
“I wish I can speak more about history and the one sided history these school be giving us,” she continues. “Besides this whole ‘Latin lesson’ that I’m giving ya there is soo much I have learn that if I speak on it I feel like the government will OFF me .I’ll just talk to myself about it tho. (sic)”
Cardi is no stranger to speaking her mind on social media, and previously insisted she will continue to do so.
