You need to take the bad with the good, otherwise you'll never understand how far we've come. We hold on to slavery to remind us what it took, how efforts were not in vain, and to continue work on pushing for the things we believe in. We are here today because of the hardships we have endured yesterday. It's not "white guilt", it's to remind the world that slavery is bad no matter who does it, to teach us what it looks like, and that we all benefit from eliminating slavery, no matter the form it takes.
When we forget those things, we have things like the anti-vacc movement. People who have their own beliefs that fly in the face of reality, who've never had the experiences first hand, and to bend the notion of what is good. It rewrites the legacy of people's efforts, obscures the lessons used to fight, and trivializes the problems of the time. It manipulates both people and purpose and turns it against each.
My own opinion: Nobody feels guilty about slavery. There are only those that feel regret it's not still around.
I am so ready to go home and throw it in much trash Mormon mother's face. I hate that she buys into this shit.
We have to keep drilling in that slavery is bad because there are still so many fucking racists in this country.
Black people loved slavery. There. I cut out all the euphemisms and just got us to the end goal to save us some time.
Controversial, but efficient. I appreciate your work.
time to stomp some Nazi Republicans? please?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?Yes! Are they fucking retarded?
I thought they were all about facts not caring about their feelings
No, they were about facts not caring about your feelings. Where their feelings are involved, it's the opposite; their feelings don't care about facts.
Is it just me or is whitewashing slavery the first step in reinstituting slavery?
Reminds of the video with the confederate idiot that talks about how his family was so poor and couldn't even afford slaves.
Would no one think of the crackers??

just a reminder that Newsweek is a conspiracy-peddling, right-wing rag that we should not be driving traffic to
You can't understand progress without an understanding of historical reality.
The word "negative" doesn't appear once outside the title
The lack of quotation marks around any part of the title indicates it’s not a direct quote.
Is there something you feel is inaccurate about it?
White House official Lindsey Halligan: "While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history, you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress ... we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress."
where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was
'Bad' and 'negative' are synonyms here.
