Slavery

DeSantis doubles down on claim that some Blacks benefited from slavery

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is intensifying his efforts to de-emphasize racism in his state’s public school curriculum by arguing that some Black people benefited from being enslaved and defending his state’s new African American history standards that civil rights leaders and scholars say misrepresents centuries of U.S. reality.

“They’re probably going to show that some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith into doing things later in life,” DeSantis said on Friday in response to reporters’ questions while standing in front of a nearly all-White crowd of supporters ...


DeSantis - the "sane" alternative to Trump? I'm sure those people victimized by the historical and still existing world-wide practice of slavery would view this concept .... the idea that slavery is actually a bebeficial experience for the enslved ... as obscene. I know I do.

God, the Republicans really have cornered the market on evil. I honestly can't fathom how nearly half of Americans can support them.

I think DeSantis is just as bad as Trump. The only difference is he isn't indicted multiple times. People says he's smart but he keeps on saying idiot things.

He was a lawyer in the navy, so he may be smart but he has terrible judgement and terrible ethics.
