I feel like the only way to teach them that slavery is wrong is to enslave them. I will personally volunteer to recreate the whipping scene from Roots for everyone who thinks slavery wasn't so bad. Starting with the orange.

Whitehouse is not sane and should not be given any credence
museums should start showcasing trumps epstein and russian collusions in thier exhibits.
So, teaching the horrors of slavery is woke now? They are just telling on themselves now.

The logic:
400 years of slavery but your great great grand grand kids have been taught 1 or 2 farming skills a piece.
Oh, and we will be generous and only charge half price for those 400 years of your food and lodging.
You owe us really...

I thought they were all about facts not caring about their feelings
No, they were about facts not caring about your feelings. Where their feelings are involved, it's the opposite; their feelings don't care about facts.
Is it just me or is whitewashing slavery the first step in reinstituting slavery?
just a reminder that Newsweek is a conspiracy-peddling, right-wing rag that we should not be driving traffic to
Jfc. If this administration rewrites anymore history the US is going to just up and disappear. First it's oh slavery wasn't that bad, then its what slaves? We didn't have slaves. Then we go full circle and have slaves again
