I think Hawley is especially dangerous because, unlike Gaetz, Taylor-Greene, Trump, DeSantis, Kemp, and many others, he’s not a blithering idiot. I don’t think he believes in much of anything except that he can ride a bunch of stupid, angry, white, men, to personal power.

Flag Bill for Hate Speech - white indentured servitude was thr same as African American slavery is akin to Holocaust Denial! If we don’t police those who would minimize our own suffering, who will?!

I TOLD Y’ALL ‘BILL’ TROJAN HORSED HIS WAY IN HERE - waiting for the moment he could spew this sulphuric acid on the history of our people that ‘WHITES WERE SLAVES FIRST’ - because there’s not a single white man I’ve ever met who doesn’t try this completely false position because he thinks Black people know our own hist…

What you are is a sorry sack of excuse-making shit. So you can fuck right on off. The ethics and morality AT THE TIME said it was wrong and they did it anyway.

In theory, these people had more freedoms than slaves. And they could earn their freedom from servitude

“Show me the white slaves.”

I can’t argue for or against that. All I can say is that applying the morals and ethics of today to people who lived and died 250 years ago does not make them racists by their standards. Just ours.

Like “Um Ackchyually...” came to life and bought a computer.

What version of history have you been reading? Monticello, his estate, sold over 200 slaves as part of settling his estate. His will freed 5 slaves that were highly skilled tradesmen with agreements with him.  

One of the reasons “explorers” like Christopher Columbus got so much money to go find all these sources of wealth was because Europeans were increasingly incensed about the stories they were hearing of African explorers trading across the world. It was REALLY pissing them off.

Do you really believe that the experience of a Black slave is even remotely comparable to that of a white indentured servant? Nearly all indentured servants made a choice to come to America because they had the expectation of a better life here and that better life was absolutely attainable. Meanwhile, children born…

Before launching into a history of racism, Carr swatted down Horn’s thesis with one request:

I’ve never met a Black person who treated me worse because I’m white.

Me too man. I fucking hate country music, Trump loving motherfuckers. I’m so sick of these people, in the 70+ mil. We need non-white women in charge with a few token white women, who prove they’ve never voted GOP. But especially men need to NOT be in fucking charge anymore because our society is the result of men in…
