"Slavery -- did it really happen, or is it just a bunch of malarky dreamed up by welfare cheats who can't compete in real life so need to cast themselves as perpetual victims?"
It makes it easier to understand the actual issue when you change the target from one which is now politically correct to attack to one that isn't.
---my credentials>>> I am old enough to remember the 1950s----I grew up in a kinda waspish Nazi town in the USA. ---hard to believe---but back then----the word on WASP street in response to the civil rights movement was--
"THE COLORED PEOPLE (well actually they used the "N" word) WERE LUCKY TO BE ENSLAVED BECAUSE THE SYSTEM BROUGHT THEM TO THE USA AND CHRISTIANITY----and they really liked living on those
plantations---nice places----banjos, watermelon --etc."
I wonder what the reaction would have been to an 8th grade
assignment ----- >>>>some people say that slavery is bad---
but others agree that the black African population benefited
from the program since it brought many to the USA---to
Christianity and to literacy...........<<<<<<
