Yup. While you and I may be preaching to the choir, I don’t think a lot of people truly see how bad these videos are.
It’s not even just the disinformation, though that’s terrible enough. The blatant racism is off the charts. If you thought the “blacks benefitted from slavery” thing was bad, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. They weren’t just saying that. Their main talking points in the few short minutes I saw were:
Black people benefitted from slavery as it was better than the tribal warfare back home that got them captured in the first place.
Every major civilization was built on the backs of slaves
In some places, white people were used as slaves.
Somebody had to do it, and they looked good for it.
Even if it was bad, it was how 'Murica was built and the ends justify the means.
Nobody alive today was born a slave so hey, it’s all good now.
And I only watched a clip that I saw on one of either the CNN or MSNBC videos on the subject. I can’t imagine what sitting through an entire video would be like.
I truly feel sorry for Florida’s students who are going to have to learn this bullshit only to go out into the real world, find out that a Florida education is now worthless and that the real world isn’t Florida.
