Yeah, but have you considered that both sides bad?

Can't have those uppity workers understanding what you're trying to inflict upon them...

They are probably still getting funds if they teach how positive and helpful slavery was to the victims, and how important slavery was for businesses to be profitable for the owners.

It makes them uncomfortable to talk about it. Or acknowledge it's lingering effects. It's much more uncomfortable for the people suffering the lingering effects. But that's not what's important./s

It doesn’t make them uncomfortable. They just don’t want people to know that they’re still doing it.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Well that is why it makes them uncomfortable. People knowing what they're doing:-)

Didn't you hear? The past was always better, and Now is always the low ebb in the decline of our civilization until we return to the values that made yesterday great.

If the past is somehow to blame for the problems of today, that might mean there was something wrong with the past. If that's the case, then maybe other things from the past have problems, including things that I like or benefit me personally, or that changing would imply a lot of big scary changes that I'm not ready for.

That's why attempts to talk about little mistakes from the past like chattel slavery, indigenous genocide, phillipino genocide or endemic discrimination and institutionalized racism are just attempts by bad people to tear down perfection and keep us from returning to a simpler, better time where those mistakes never happened.

Olivia Benson would have voted for Trump. Stabler would have voted for Biden. (Not Harris, he wrote in Biden)

There isn't Just One Source article. It's been nearly 4 years worth of articles. Across many different publications. Look up anything where conservatives mention woke. They use it as a code word. In context to mean either addressing issues of racial oppression and disparity. Or gender discrimination. Sometimes both in the same usage.

1 out of every 5 Black voters voted for Trump.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

So 4 out of every 5 black voters voted against Trump.

[-] LMagicalus@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

3 out of every 5 white voters voted for Trump.

If a wishful white Trump voter voted voraciously, how many votes would a wishful white Trump voter vivaciously vote? More than one, I bet.
