Florida to teach the positive aspects of slavery in Black history

It isn't hysterical or irrational....the democrat party knows that screaming "racism," is the only way they can keep black Americans voting for them, since everything the democrats actually do is destroying the lives of black Americans.......and killing them as well.....so they can't have black Americans stopping for even a moment and asking the question...."weren't the democrats the ones who owned the slaves, started the Civil War to keep the slaves, started jim crow, poll taxes, literacy tests and the klan?" So....racism has been and will always be the tool, the weapon and the shield of the democrat party.
Pretty much.
 
the conservative GOP in FL says they are not racists, then put forth a law like that.
Only White supremacists would support the work of two Black PhDs who sought to embrace the history of Black agency and resilience in slavery, eh?

You can't make the willful ignorance and logical fallacies of liberals up. :)
I remember one of their Sunday School teachers in Davenport, FL, saying how benefited the Hebrew slaves were in Egypt to learn how to make bricks without straw.
Irrelevant to the topic if true.
 
It's not true but lefties fall for it because they need a dose of hatred to get through the day.
Liberals, not leftists.

Leftists understand and support the work of the two Black PhDs who created this curriculum.

Newly approved academic standards from Florida’s Board of Education will require middle schools to teach that enslaved people "developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit" — a line that has ignited significant controversy among teachers' groups.

The standards, which were approved Wednesday, come in response to the state's 2022 "Stop WOKE Act," which stated that race must be taught in "an objective manner" that does not "indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view." The measure pushed far-right lawmakers' rhetoric that teaching Black history makes White people feel ashamed, instructing that no student should be made to feel "guilt" or "responsibility" for actions previously committed by members of the same race.

In a state where the citizens describe mask mandates as "slavery" they take a very charitable view of actual slavery. It seems that chains and whips and rapings were misunderstood. They were actually programmes that helped black people become more useful slaves.

Its a novel approach to history but I suspect that the usual suspects will sieze on this and interpret it as Gov DeSantis being some sort of fascist.

People can be unkind in that regard.
lets talk about all the englihmen and women that the vikings carried off to be slaves in the middle east

Well, it's true. They did develop skills under slavery that could be applied to their benefit.
That doesn't mean slavery was a good thing for blacks to go through, nor does it imply that it was. That's just a recognition of reality.
I don't think it is the right approach to teaching the history of slavery in the US for several reasons, mainly because pointing that out is kind of like: "Duh, no shit"...but it is true that many slaves, if not all, learned skills that proved beneficial to them once slavery was ended.
 
Slavery and all the associated human trafficking was a dehumanizing, deeply cruel system. Slavery apologetics is beneath the dignity of any elected official.
 
This curriculum, written by two Black PhDs, includes information about the skills applied and developed by enslaved Africans to better their circumstances.

That's it.

Full stop.
Its a distortion of the truth no matter who wrote the course to comply with the fascist regime in Florida.
Slavery was not a well intentioned training scheme to better black folk. It was naked brutality to make the lives of slavers better.
Any "benefits" were incidental and not worth a mention. Certainly not worth bragging about.

No one said it was a well intentioned training scheme you thick clod.....

Yes....you thick clod, the "benefits," were incidental and part of the entire history of slavery in this country......the entire history of slavery and every aspect of it covered in the curriculum.......

Meanwhile, you can go on and apologize for your country creating the trans-atlantic slave trade......
