Except that the idea that the Republicans promote racism is a chimera. A completely fake product of wishful thinking on the part of Democrats.If passed, it would require students learn that Democrats were the “party of slavery,” Ingoglia said.
True. As opposed to Republicans now the party that promotes racism.
I took it as being supposed to make sure that Florida school children are taught the truth. That scares Dems?Is this supposed to scare the Dems? Poor trumptards. You try so so hard.
That some black slaves learned trades that were useful to them after slavery is not in dispute. Why would the plantation owner hire outside blacksmiths, woodworkers, carpenters, well-diggers, and other trades valuable in the 19the century, when they could train some of their brightest* slaves to do it? Why Harris objects to children learning that I have no idea.
If the Florida curriculum is downplaying the brutality of slavery and the wretched lives of non-skilled slaves, who toiled in the fields under the whips of their Democrat masters, while being given only enough food and water to survive, I strongly disagree with that. If the curriculum states that skilled slaves lived lives comparable to skilled free whites, ether before of after the Civil War, I strongly disagree with that. But that was not Harris' objection. Her objection was to teaching the truth.
Some of the slaves who were able to move from the fields to the preferable house roles did so by willingly and with pretended enthusiasm sleeping with their masters. Good God, y'all! Harris of all people, should appreciate that.
