DeRacist is really a dumbass fascist pig. Enslaved Africans already had skills before they were taken captive including pottery making, weaving, wood carving, etc. Metal working, black smithing and bronze smithing was thriving in Africa for thousands of years before colonialism and the slave trade.

Slaves taken to the Carolinas were sent there specifically because of their knowledge of rice growing techniques, women brought rice and okra over in their hair and they were planted here. It's not like they were bringing in unskilled labor, that is factually incorrect. And what DeRacist is also wrong about is the fact that enslaved Africans did not receive payment for their skills, they were slaves, the majority lived and died in bondage.

And no, the two parties did not switch sides. It does not make sense to believe that, after Republicans spent over 150 years fighting for black civil rights and won, all of a sudden they stood up, crossed the aisle and switched sides with the Democrats.  It did not happen. 

 

In fact the racist Democrats that the Republicans were fighting declared that they would rather vote for a “yellow dog” than a Republican because the Republican Party that was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party was and still is the party for blacks. 

 

As author Michael Scheuer wrote, the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.

Slavery was jobs program.  Good to know.  Then they were freed and allowed to join trade unions, right?

Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history. Now, what can we do to prevent their descendants from voting?

[jimmyjazz 45,952]

I had lunch with my 20 YO daughter today.  She's a junior at UT.  I told her about this Florida curriculum, which she hadn't heard about, and I pointed out some of the numbers I posted earlier in this thread.

Her response?  "Shit, Dad, even a large fraction of the 'emancipated' slaves had to work off their debt as sharecroppers.  These people are nuts."

I mean, a college junior knows more about American history than those who are trying to rewrite it.  (That's probably wrong, they KNOW the truth, they just want to bury it.)

His desperation to get out from under Trump's shadow, and his desperation in general, is almost breath-taking, but it's almost understandable - he'll be out of office by the time 2027/2028 rolls around, unless he's willing to go back and run for a House seat in 2026 (and there's no guarantee he could unseat an incumbent Republican in Florida).

At least with Abbott you kind of get it - he would be almost 71 in 2028, and nobody is going to vote for a 71 year-old in a wheelchair, not when there's going to be a shit-ton of Republican candidates who are 20-30 years younger than him.

The part I don't get is that DeSantis is still young.  Trump is working to destroy him with the MAGA crowd, and it'd be in his best interest to step back, get a House seat, make noise in Congress, and then make another run.  Then again, demographics maybe working more heavily against the GQP than a lot of us expected, and those swing states that Trump lost to Biden mostly likely are done being swing states and will be solidly blue come 2028 or 2032, especially if a lot of (R)s keep moving elsewhere.

How long until they start figuring there should be reparations for all that training those fine white families bestowed on those base slaves?

White people, and in particular white southerners, have suffered long enough. They gave everything! Think of those who died in service to their slaves, to protect their fundamental, human right to teach and confer benefits unto them!

We went to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis a few weeks back. The first exhibit (while you’re waiting for the intro film) is about the history of the slave trade. It has life-size sculpted figures huddled in chains and recorded sounds of cries of agony. It left me shook - and Desantis should be forced to sit in there for a while and take it in.

Turns out the entire list is trash. Just a list of  random black people with skills,  most who weren't even enslaved. Oh and inexplicably they added George Washington's sister on their list of random black people with skills. A state's purported AP equivalent curriculum is based on trash like this.

It's mind-blowing.  I mean, it's utterly mind-blowing.  "OK, let's all acknowledge slavery was horrible . . . BUT".

No.  No "buts".  Disallowed.  It was horrible, period.  This incessant need to ferret out perceived positive kernels of corn in an A&M bonfire-sized pile of fecal waste is offensive beyond belief.  That said, here we are, and the base will lap it up.

Look, those slaves just didn't have what it takes to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and strike out on their own. So the people "housing them" had to offer them some sort of skills that could be used later after they finally stopped mooching off the kindness of others.

Someone should give the Maxi Pad treatment to DeSantis.  I have a friend that once wrote an exceptional song about our favorite Texas senator but don't think it has seen the light of day, yet.  

Sludge was a confusing name... this seems to work better.  Also, saw a band called Curl on Saturday night indoors at Mohawk.  So absurdly loud.  I imagine Die Spitz is a similar experience in that tiny room.
