Oh Florida. When did you go wrong. So , so wrong.
Bush, 2000 election, sold its soul to aging conservatives to retire in the delusion they were right all along about… you know… those people etc
The outrage of one paragraph saying some slaves developed skills that helped them in post-slavery life, that’s in a 216 page history book is absurd haha.
This is why so many people distrust our ‘news’
What’s absurd is that the meaning of the paragraph is nothing to you, but the number of words. In a book full of words. That’s why you’re not taken seriously. What is meaning anyhow? Aren’t all books just collections of words, and there’s lots of books so lots of words? Do collections of words have impact, meaning, or can I just say write/stuff and it doesn’t mean anything? You are a fucking clown. You sure get your knickers in a twist when a single word comes up you don’t like. Hell, a fucking acronym and you obsequious boot lickers lose your shit.
First Florida takes away their own history by censuring or banning history books and classes both primary and continuing, turns around with a new history book that has none of that other shit, but tiny widdle paragragh about how slavery was good for you. That’s why we think you’re fascist mouth-breathers.
it’s certainly true that the slave trade existed in Africa for thousands of years, but it existed everywhere else for just as long. for the skill development bit though? I suppose I could see how picking cotton/farming the land could promote good muscle growth, and working outside in nature is beneficial to your overall health… and I’d guess that being provided with minimal rations could force you to learn how to cook.
African countries didn’t declare their existence with the phrase “all men are created equal”. Slavery was this countries’ original sin and we deserve every criticism for refusing to abolish it until we had to kill each other for it. Next time you could also “see” use the brain that’s connected to those eyes
Facepalm - trying to justify teaching that slavery was in any way good…
