"3/5 Compromise was actually anti-slavery" Black woman w. Prager (VIDEO)
- Thread starter valet
- Start date
democrats back then in the south needed to win elections vs republicans/whigs in the cities (swapped values)
claiming their slaves as votes was similar to union block voting initiatives in the early 1900s

According to her it affirmed Black humanity
1. First off f*ck Prager U
2. This seems to sidestep the argument about the 3/5ths compromise into an economic one; that it had nothing to do with their status as persons, but their status as slaves.
I'm not placated by the fact that abolitionists agreed to this clause; even if it acknowledges the personhood of slaves, it was the opinion of the US judiciary that descendants of African slaves weren't citizens, and thus had no rights. This wasn't solidified until Dred Scott., but had essentially been the operating principle of the US since the beginning.
Furthermore, in the Dred Scott case, the SCOTUS ruled based on race specifically, so the decision implied the idea that "all men are created equal, and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights" doesn't include "Negroes".

Breh it’s not that serious. PragerU, is a conservative “think tank” type thing that espouses racist, sexist, zionist, homophobic, pro-imperialist BS regularly. The guy who founded it is a supreme bigot who hides behind his right wing “values” as a means to promote such disgusting mess. Ignore these videos lol

Every time I see a video from them it's so fukking try hard. IF THE FOUNDING FATHERS VIEWED BLACK FOLK AS EQUALLY HUMAN THEN THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A NEED TO "COMPROMISE"!!! That's like passing a new anti-voting rights law and then claiming, "The new laws on voting restrictions are actually pro-voting, not anti-voting. I mean, we're still allowing some people to vote, right?"
She did low-key admit that if left to their own devices, racist White Southerners would have tried to keep slavery forever. I wonder if Praeger's audience is bright enough to pick up on that, and realize that that's THEM.
