Tom Cotton calls slavery 'necessary evil' in attack on New York Times' 1619 Project | Slavery | The Guardian

The Arkansas Republican senator Tom Cotton has called the enslavement of millions of African people “the necessary evil upon which the union was built”.

Cotton, widely seen as a possible presidential candidate in 2024, made the comment in an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette published on Sunday.

Cotton’s Saving American History Act of 2020 and “would prohibit the use of federal funds to teach the 1619 Project by K-12 schools or school districts”, according to a statement from the senator’s office.

“The entire premise of the New York Times’ factually, historically flawed 1619 Project … is that America is at root, a systemically racist country to the core and irredeemable,” Cotton told the Democrat-Gazette.

“I reject that root and branch. America is a great and noble country founded on the proposition that all mankind is created equal. We have always struggled to live up to that promise, but no country has ever done more to achieve it.”

I’ve been hearing this from cacs since high school history class, they always justify their evil.

 

[keond]

Exactly why white folks feel the way they feel about us. Im just talking about the white supremacist right now. They dont see black folks as people and humans. Just servants, slaves, helpers. They are very white-centric. Anyone who aint white is a damn nuisance. Slavery to them was just a ends to justify a means.

There's truly no debating anymore with these cacs, just run the fade or curse him out... You cannot negotiate with evil men... Ras Al ghul was right...

Damn his name cotton too wtf this is wild

Reparations needs to be a serious topic ...enough with the symbolism and rallies are any politicians drafting actual legislation?

Jews got reparations, designated land and still get billions every year and descendants can travel there for free

Ados can’t get a similar deal ?
