Republican hopefuls Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are expected to make slavery a big topic for their debate tonight ahead of the 2024 Iowa caucus with one candidate claiming slavery was beneficial while the other pretends it never happened.
I’ve had someone tell me black people should all (even the ones from other countries) thank every white person they see because “they’d still be savages if it weren’t for us”
I still don’t know how to respond to that level of stupid.
As if it were not the white people who were savages throughout the colonial history and even the modern history. Calling other people savages just because they lived in a better harmony with nature and not chasing materialistic wealth while simultaneously fucking up the environment.
Problem is, that headline is not out of reach because “slavery was good for black people” HAS BEEN SAID BY DESANTIS
