Ron DeSantis again reiterates “People acquired skills in spite of slavery, not because of it, & then they used those when they achieved their freedom”

Pudding fingers is so daft he doesn't know (or care) that the slaves already had skills before coming here.

White lies will not drown out my ancestors history.

:camby:

The US economy exploded due to the stolen contributions of the slaves. America would look like Russia today had it never stolen people's with specific skillsets the US needed to grow.
Otherwise why didn't cacs just kidnap slaves in Latin America next door rather than traveling across an ocean for them. There was something the slaves had the south Americans didn't and it wasn't muscle as cacs would have you believe.

He's not even remotely telling the truth. The ppl targeted for trafficking were chosen, among other reasons, for their farming skill. Many of the food African slaves farmed are still traditionally farmed on modern West African coast. They didn't teach us shyt but how to be slaves. We are the only good in human history who is expected to take our tragedies on the chin and look at the "brightside" of them. Did Hitler teach the Jews how to make glue and use the stove? Native Americans, how negotiate land deals? Japs, the dangers poking a larger, stronger enemy?


There's a great video about how America treated us after emancipation. New laws like vacany and loitering were invented to put our "skills" to good use.

Because African sellouts already had a thorough system in place in which they sold their own people.

Just weird because the slaves who came over were not robots with a blank slate. They already knew how to plant multiple crops, some were blacksmiths, hunters, cooks etc. I'm baffled why he wants to die on this hill beyond appealing to a vocal minority of voters who won't even decide the president next November lol.
