The Florida Board of Education approved a new set of standards for how Black history should be taught in the state’s public schools, sparking criticism from education and civil rights advocates who said students should be all...
The new standards require instruction for middle school students to include “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit”. I would say this is unbelievable but it’s not. DeSantis is an unapologetic stone cold racist…makes no attempt to hide. Seems he sits up late at night thinking of new ways to piss off Black people.
This is similar to saying although starving Jews in Aushwitz was bad….in some instances, it helped with obesity.
46% of people of color voted for DeSantis including 19% of black men.
Many African Americans voted for L.B.J., 1964 election. L. B.J. was a criminal and a racist. An African American vote for a racist doesn't alter a candidate's status as a racist.

Ridiculous
Not really unbelievable. Pretty standard modern right wing stuff: If it owns the libs, it's good!
My god, people are so emotional. You can make the point that the skills learned during slavery helped freed slaves post-prohibition, without saying that "slavery was good." Not everything is black and white (no pun intended).

"Aside from that, how did you enjoy the show, Mrs. Lincoln"

How you can rationalize this is beyond me.
I don't have to rationalize anything. Slavery can be bad, but slaves could have been able to use the skills learned working on plantations for employment in post-abolition. These two things can be true at once.

If you have any black friends, which I somehow doubt, why don’t you discuss your beliefs and feelings about this and see how they feel. If you don’t have any black friends and are in a waiting room waiting for a car repair, in a doctor’s office, or whatever, strike up a conversation with a black personality and casually work your views into your discussion.

Let it Rupp with a black friend? 😂🤣
He/it is one of the most racist people on this forum, a total loser dbag. You can't be serious.

I don't have feelings on the subject. Did slaves not learn skills working on farms and plantations? If they did, can you somehow explain why that fact would make slavery morally good? I don't believe it would, but you and the other screeching idiots seem to think so.

Not racist, I just don't think it's a good idea to start revising history and science to conform to our political beliefs.

You can’t even make an intelligible argument, dolt boy.
Here, I’ll do it for you…
“If they did, can you somehow explain why that fact wouldn’t make slavery morally good?”
Im sure this article represents what Florida is doing in an overly simplistic manner, but if there is truth that they have teach positives skills that african americans learned while slaves, that is just asinine.
fwiw, slavery and civil rights have always been taught in a cartoonish way. I didn't know about that Africans participated in the slave trade until I was 25. The whole Rosa Parks thing was staged, along with other incidents. I don't even think it's wrong that they did that. But it shouldn't have taken 50 years for the story to come out. Those stories shouldn't have been taught as fact 40 years after they achieved what they needed to.
bottom line, while im not in favor of what's going on in FLorida, im in not in favor of how the other has presented things and how they want to continue to present things in the future. And white kids today should certainly not have to put up with being brow beaten about the color of their skin.
