No, no, no. According to the new guidelines by Texas Florida Virginia etc there wasn't slavery it was "involuntary relocation". You can't tell White kids that Black people were enslaved, beaten, raped, murdered, families separated, human beings treated worse than animals because that might make them feel bad. So you have to sanitize it and make up new words and lie and say things like, it wasn't that bad, they kept families together, they were just more like hired hands and they were treated pretty good.

It's disgusting, it's horrible that African-American people had to go through this and for hundreds of years were treated so horrifically. And now to have these POS try to sanitize it and make it something that never occurred because they don't want to look at the history because there's many scholars will tell you when you study your history and you feel bad that helps you to correct it and make sure that it never happens again. But when you sanitize it minimize it lie about it guess what it happens over and over and over.

Your numbers should be higher from 1400's till now.

Count all the races that were under some type of, Industrial or Indentured servitude, American Indians, Chinese, Irish and Jewish, Arcadians, Mexican and African slaves of all colors, etc.

It's not going to get better. Now people hate others they have never met or interacted with.

Need to study more history and not destroy any of it good or bad.

There is little difference between subjugation and Subsidization

I think you got the political derangement. First step: Stop watching MSNBC. It’ll take a few years, but slowly the conditioning you’ve received at the hands of partisan propagandists will wear off and you’ll realize that one side isn’t evil, but both sides are lying duplicitous conmen who care only about winning office. Good luck!

First of all I don't watch MSNBC, I read books. History books you might give it a try. First-hand accounts of what it was like written by the people who were there at the time. You can spin it any way you want but the fact remains that millions of people were enslaved for hundreds of years. Civil War was fought over whether or not we could continue treating human beings as property. The South likes to reframe it just as they're attempting to do today and say they were defending their homeland but the reality is it was all about whether or not as a country we're going to allow that important policy. So you can spin it any way you want my good friend I know what path I choose.

The partisan propagandists are the ones writing the textbooks. This is why American schools children rarely learn the truth unless they seek it out on their own.
