Florida to teach the positive aspects of slavery in Black history

[tahuyaman]

Forever.

Truth doesn't matter to cultists; they cannot think for themselves.

It would be sad, but their destructive drag on society is so great that it's really more like a public health risk.

Could Pfizer develop a vaccine maybe...?

So if you can be kidnapped, stripped away from your family, taken away against your will to another country, forced into a life of labor where you're not paid and provided scraps for food and clothes just to keep you alive so you can keep working but... at the same time, you get to learn a new language and live in a better place, it's all worth it??

Then why aren't you signing up for that to live a better life?

Another question... Nazi's brutally slaughtered some 6 million Jews (along with millions of others) ... but that led to the birth of Israel. So the Holocaust was a good thing because Jews now have a state of their own?

Were you a slave owner at the time, would you feed your slaves scraps of food? Have you ever been on a tour of a mansion where they owned slaves? If you were, you must have noticed they really all ate the same food.

For the captured dudes, if they survived, they had benefits. Such as those whites would need once they were freed. Again, visit some mansions where slaves lived. You would lose a lot of that bigotry.

They got a free ride over from Africa so its only fair that they should pay that off.

'They' are all dead today and so are their slavers. Give it up.

Suuure, uh-huh.

Food

The standard rations enslaved people received were cornmeal and salted fish, which they harvested themselves.

I have been at Mt. Vernon so know the whole story. Notice your tidbit did not say they ate table scraps. And you refused to tell me if you owned slaves that were expensive, would you feed yours table scraps? Mt Vernon has a round building where they walked horses across grain to get out the grain. As to cornmeal, slaves could shuck corn and collect the corn.

Markle, your comparison is a nothing.

We are talking about America, our culture, our now and future as well as the past.

There was nothing good about it.

Nobody is claiming that there was something "good" about slavery! What the two black Phd scholars were underscoring was how resilient blacks were even in a dehumanizing system like slavery. You on the left are SO determined to see "RACISM" in everything you even see it in something that paints blacks in a very positive light!

Leftist-Democrat-Racists don't want blacks to be strong so they try to convince them they are forever weak victims like good little slaves That way they can 'promise' government help and harvest their votes.

Let's see ... I have a source or you to choose from. I'll go with what my source says. Thanks anyway.

Despite making that very claim in their State's 'independence' charters.
They put it in 'em, because they meant it.
They wanted slavery to continue.
And were willing to kill to keep it.
And did kill.
They killed free American citizens...thousands of 'em, to continue enslaving.

You don't even know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a concept that liberals simply cannot wrap their heads around, whether it is street crime or full scale war >>> SELF-DEFENSE, you bozo.

I'm talking about approximately 300,000 southerners who died in the Civil War fighting to defend their home towns from invading Union soldiers. Many of them (especially in southern mountain states where there was no cotton and no slavery) captured by union soldiers, were asked, "Why do you fight ?". 90% of the answers were always the same >> "Because you're here."

If you see hundreds of guys coming your way, shooting at you, blowing up your buildings and bridges, burning down your churches, what do you do ? Say "thank you" ? Offer them lollipops ?

In many of the mountain areas of the South, in the 1860s, people were so poor and uneducated (no TV, no radio, no computers), they didn't even know that black people or slavery even existed. Most had never even seen a black person in their whole lives. A FEW mountain towns might have had a rudimentary newspaper, but most didn't, because few of those folks could read or write.

Most of them fought as civilians, many dead bodies found barefoot holding their rifles. Others who were lucky enough to get uniforms (complete with boots) from the Confederate army, were known to have said >> "This is the best suit of clothes I've ever had."

At a micro level...maybe. Some Rebels in some areas.
But the more fitting question is: Why were the Union troops there?

And for that we need to step back for a wider view...a macro view.
Those Union troops were there because the Confederate States attempted to tear asunder the United States of America.

For example, South Carolina ordinance of secession:
"that the union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States, under the name of the "United States of America," is hereby dissolved."

Tear it apart, and 'dissolve' the US because......because they wanted to expand slavery to new territories in the west, and to ensure that in the eastern south --the states where slavery had embedded itself into the culture and economy, well, that slavery would continue to exist.

On a MASSIVE level (maybe 75% of all southern fighters) knew nothing whatsoever of the Confederacy, never head of Jefferson Davis, never laid eyes on a black person, didn't know slavery existed.

You seem to be absorbed with thoughts about slavery and the Confederacy, and that's OK, but most southern fighters knew only that they were under attack from some guys wearing blue suits, and they were going to fight back with everything they had in them.

Slavery and cotton production was not at all embedded into the culture and economy of a huge part of the south. It was generally confined to coastal plain areas, and unknown in mountain areas. Those mountan areas cover major parts of states > Virginia, all of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, N & S Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Arkansas.

I'm now upping my offer, and anyone - not just the delusional OP who refused to do so - can take me up on it.

For each and every poster who can show that this curriculum states that enslaved Blacks benefitted from slavery, I will donate $1,000 to the forum.

If not, the poster/s making this false claim must donate $1,000.

I'll now sit back and wait for the liberal silence.

Any takers yet?

You'd think it would be an easy layup for them, given how they're just certain of the facts...

 

[Oldestyle]

Don't be stupid, John. I never said that slavery wasn't about racism. What I pointed out was that the lesson plan those two black Phd educators came up with for Florida isn't racist and that Kamala Harris was race baiting when she claimed that it was! I'd love to see her sit down with those two black historians and explain to THEM why she thinks that they're racists! I'm sure they'd get a chuckle out of it.

She probably couldn't explain it because that would require talking, and as usual, she would be laughing (at nothing) all the time.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yeah, the plans are racist.

 

[Oldestyle]

Yeah, the plans are racist.

So I take it the two black historians who created the plans are "racist" also, John?

 

[lennypartiv]

So slavery is a good thing then?

There were good aspects to it, right?
