      Flordia is changing some of its teaching to say that black people personally benefitted from slavery

          It just doesn’t get much worse than this stance. The only way it gets worse is when they start saying they’re re-implementing indentured labour laws

            You mean like they’ll systematically target black people to send them to prison and then force them to do labor for slave wages?

              As soon as the last person dies that might have personally met a camp survivor they will. They can’t deny the evidence that survivors bring to the table but once people can no longer point at grandma with the number tattooed on her arm, they’ll start playing it down more and more

          You sure ‘bout that? I’m pretty sure he didn’t really bat an eye when slavery was in full swing, hell, if i remember right he actually endorsed it, as much as a fictional character can endorse anything.

                  I wasn’t really evangelizing as much as stating that the christian god endorsed slavery, Ephesians 6:5–8, Colossians 3:22–24, 1 Timothy 6:1–2, Titus 2:9–10.

          The Christian God is a slaver, not a liberator.

          The LORD instructs the Israelites to enslave.

            Oh I’m quite aware, all Abrahamic religions have the same base of messed up morality. I’m not religious. I just find the sort of militant atheist that would make a point of “fiction” annoying.

        Even if you don’t fall into that category, one of the main gotchas of the church is to use one of your most basic biological programmings and tell you it’s a sin. The church teaches that even thinking lustfully about someone is a sin. They tell you that the urge to reproduce is sinful and only they have the cure.

    Hm if black people benefitted from slavery, why not reintroduce slavery then? And while you are at it, maybe white people want to benefit, too? Maybe DeSantis specifically could also benefit. Let’s make him “benefit”. /s

          I mean I get that but you’d still be swimming in the Gulf of Mexico if Florida were to break away from the continent, they wouldn’t change the name to bay of Alabama

            That’s like saying the song would be incorrect because technically they’d be swimming in the Pacific.

            Bays absolutely are still located in the Gulf of Mexico.

          First time hearing about that?

          Imagine having the US having a president that actually cared about climate change. The powers that be couldn’t risk another Jimmy Carter.

      The ironic thing is, we have a quasi-official definition of what “woke” means from one of DeSantis’ goons:

      https://www.fox13news.com/news/what-does-woke-mean-gov-desantis-officials-answer-during-andrew-warren-trial

      The governor’s general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.” He added that DeSantis doesn’t believe there are systemic injustices in the country, reports Florida Politics.

        I guess if that’s the case reps can’t complain about “welfare queens” Because systematic injustice isn’t real
