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.

after 200 years, the house finally lives up to its name.

It’s almost as if racism is a core value among American conservatives.

Whitehouse is not sane and should not be given any credence

museums should start showcasing trumps epstein and russian collusions in thier exhibits.

How bout we enslave this fucking nazi turd. Drag his fat fucking ass around, go full mussolini.

So, teaching the horrors of slavery is woke now? They are just telling on themselves now.

When I was in middle school, we had to make a list of pros and cons of slavery for classwork. I remember it being homework but I can't see that bullshit flying if the parents knew.

People sang more back then. There were hardly any workers comp claims. And it kept kids off their dang iPhones.

Trump feuding with a history museum. You'd think that would sound the 'fascist' alarm to his supporters, but seems like nothing will.

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...

There we go.

We have to keep drilling in that slavery is bad because there are still so many fucking racists in this country.

Oh no!! Maybe he should go back in time and prevent the developement of chatel slavery, if he's so worked up about the historical representation of slavery in-general.

That said, chatel slavery seems alive and well in the US Prison system. Maybe some of us really are too distracted by the history to bother fixing things in the present. Mr. Mangione allegedly might have something to say about it. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention at that cookout, back on December 4th.

Black people loved slavery. There. I cut out all the euphemisms and just got us to the end goal to save us some time.

It's amazing how all these dumbasses look exactly the same. I knew exactly what she'd look like even before watching the video.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

I thought they were all about facts not caring about their feelings

I am so ready to go home and throw it in much trash Mormon mother's face. I hate that she buys into this shit.

Is it just me or is whitewashing slavery the first step in reinstituting slavery?

You need to take the bad with the good, otherwise you'll never understand how far we've come. We hold on to slavery to remind us what it took, how efforts were not in vain, and to continue work on pushing for the things we believe in. We are here today because of the hardships we have endured yesterday. It's not "white guilt", it's to remind the world that slavery is bad no matter who does it, to teach us what it looks like, and that we all benefit from eliminating slavery, no matter the form it takes.

When we forget those things, we have things like the anti-vacc movement. People who have their own beliefs that fly in the face of reality, who've never had the experiences first hand, and to bend the notion of what is good. It rewrites the legacy of people's efforts, obscures the lessons used to fight, and trivializes the problems of the time. It manipulates both people and purpose and turns it against each.

My own opinion: Nobody feels guilty about slavery. There are only those that feel regret it's not still around.
