If anything, the teaching of slavery should be more explicit. Same with the teaching of Nazism.
These are extraordinarily violent topics, and you can’t teach them adequately if you’re not conveying the horror the victims experienced.
If it weren’t for slavery, we wouldn’t be able to celebrate freeing the slaves. Checkmate, liberals!
Normally, I’d say this:
But, for this one, I want to add this:
for being a guy from NY, Trump has lot of southern ideas
I low key want Trump to explain slavery. We all know it’s going to be dumb as fuck but I think we need to hear what’s rattling in his fermented brain.
Have you ever heard Trump trying to explain anything that is plain wrong? The whole “inject bleach into your veins” thing? I want to know what he would say so that we can trace back where he’s getting it from and who is pulling the puppet strings.
the puppet master of our best case scenario:
I mean, it does go against the narratives necessary to keep the empire running, especially when the world is becoming multinodal as the power distribution shifts and Americans will suffer the yoke of oppression more and more to keep the ones in power happy.
Well that certainly aligns with someone who would be best buds with a guy who trafficked women into sex slavery.
Where are the Epstein files Donnie?
best friends with his fellow pedophile and rapist who was a professional child sex slave trafficker
just wanted to add precision
White House has become an insane asylum for the criminally insane.
I think you meam criminally racist.
Just criminals.

It’s just great if you own a cotton plantation. No wages, barely any rights, and the only laws you need to know are the ones regarding buying and selling slaves. It’s basically a win-win-win for everyone. Your plantation flourishes, downstream gets cheap cotton, and America becomes great.
Currently USA seems to be headed in that great direction once again, but this time there are also white slaves. They get just enough money to survive while spending every waking moment for quarterly revenue and dividends. This time though, you don’t need to worry about your slaves running away, since these gears of the corporate machine have literally nowhere to go. Hope is a luxury they can’t afford, so they’ll just bend the knee and work until they die.
When the remaining few employee rights get removed and unions get outlawed, the transformation into a slaver country is complete, and America will be Great again! Once again, slavery is the foundation.
“We gave less fortunate people from Africa, who were living in huts made out of mud, a chance to build a country. Not only for us but for themselves. We gave them purpose and hope. Made them hard working members of society! They were the founding fathers for the black communities you can find all over today’s America. They should be thankful, because we gave them an alternative to starving in a sandy desert!”
Excuse me, I need to take a shower now.
Wild that all of Africa is a “sandy desert” in which everyone was starving when we arrived. There was me thinking it was a huge diverse continent full of life and bountiful natural resources.
“Nope, sandy desert. All of it. Barely livable. Even hostile, some would say!”
Close, you forgot to add the religious element to it. We showed them Christianity!
I hate that I know how those fuckers think.
They brought the light of Christ to darkest Africa
True, how could I forget. They should whip some faith into me!
I volunteer everyone that says slavery was not too bad to spend a year as a slave!
Chattel slavery was a specific, extra-fucked up kind of slavery. A year would not suffice.
that doesn’t work because you don’t get the psychological aspect of slavery nearly as much
of knowing you will be a slave for the rest of your life, and so will your children, and so will their children; unless you escaped, that’s how american slavery worked
I wouldn’t be surprised if some ghoul went on fox news to say it sounds like summer camp and they would love to go on a vacation. Words have no meaning to a fascist, they’re just a tool to provoke and exhaust you. We’re still waiting on that cunt Hannity to get waterboarded like he said he would.
Should be a law that forces anyone that defends slavery to be sold into slavery.
Starting at the top.
Gotta lead by example.
Unfortunately, the only example the current POTUS knows how to be is a complete piece of shit.
