    I did answer it. I said there shouldn't have been slavery in the first place. These colonizers came here and stole this place. Killed 80-100MM indigenous but you say dumb shit like "no one is indigenous"...

    I'm done bro. I'm just done...

    That's not a fucking answer. They did come here. There was slavery. Lincoln was President. You didn't answer the question. If anyone is deflecting it's you.

    However, there was slavery here before Europeans ever got here...among those 80-100 million natives.

    JUST STOP. PLEASE STOP....

    I absolutely hate it when white people do this shit. You don't know what was going on here before they came. Are we truly going to accept the colonizer's story of what Indigenous folk were doing before they arrived?? This is a deflection from owning what white people did.

    And fix that, there were WAY more than 80-100 million Indigenous folks here. That was how many white people killed.

    Also, I hope you don't still subscribe to the made up narrative that all black people were brought in chains (NO there were African pre-Columbian explorers).

    Or that our ancestors had slavery in Africa and sold us to whites.

    This is all bullshit. Complete bullshit. All used to deflect against what white people did. And you know what? It's shameful.

    WE ALL have access to the same ability to search for this info instead of swallowing colonizer speak...

    There was slavery at some point everywhere there have been competing tribes.

    The odds that there was no slavery among the thousands of different tribes in pre-colonial North America are about as close to zero as you can get.

    Slavery was how things got done before industrialization. It's shitty. But it's a fact.

    Hell there is still slavery in Africa (and other places) today.

    Claiming that there was none in the past is just fantasy.

    LOL what continent is Egypt in? Are you seriously going to claim that there wasn't slavery in Africa before white people arrived down there?

    This is just ridiculous.
    Who would say no to teaching history? Isn't that what history classes are supposed to do?

    No. They are supposed to teach slavery was benign. Lee was a hero. Founders had no flaws. Racism never happened. Otherwise white people could be uncomfortable.

    God forbid anyone should be offended that there is dirt under the grass.
    What sort of people live in a fantasy world?

    Wisconsin state legislature voted to ban teaching critical race theory, which is not being taught. Ban includes teaching about racism. The bill includes a long list of words and phrases that are banned from public schools, including equity, multicultural, and social justice.
    Wisconsin voted for Biden in 2020 and has a Democratic governor but extreme gerrymandering guarantees a Republican controlled legislature and congressional delegation. When Republic Scott Walker became governor the legislature extended governor's power, which he used to attack unions, voting rights and abortion rights. When a Democratic governor was elected the legislature took back all the governor's powers.

    That bill will never see the light of day. Governor will veto it.

    Yes he will. But it shows Republican priorities and also, four years of "fuck your feelings" but white children would be traumatized if they heard "equity" or "multicultural".
