MODERATORS
So my last sentence is correct?
Yes, it is!
For context, PragerU is on the right end and I wouldn't put it past them to release talks about how racism supposedly isn't always a bad thing. This meme is a play on that, I'd bet.
They what?
What the hell would you even argue there? "Hurr durr, free housing!!!!!" or what?
Is there nobody normal on the Internet anymore?
PragerU content advocates that slaves benefitted from slavery because they learned new skills. And that they weren't unhappy, because the alternative was their masters murdering them. So... slavery wasnt all bad... You have to look at what people considered normal at the time. The ill gotten gains that the prior generation stole, should remain firmly in the hands of the master's children.
I shit you not.
If there is a Wrath coming for us, it most certainly will start in Florida. Slavery is evil, regardless of the societal norms of the day. It is fair to label evil behavior as evil. Ignorace was no exception.

Turns out that there was a tiny bit of faith in the reason of man left in me that could die! Can't even ask how takes this bad can find any resonance because no reasonable person could explain it anyway.
Learning about this makes me feel like ignorance is bliss, but ignorance is what breeds these concepts, too. There's no winning over stupid, is there?
They already did that recently in that comic for kids
