edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

That's what we did after the Civil War, and look where that got us. 🤌🏼

~~Not even true lol~~ (You were alive immediately after the civil war wow!) Yeah and sadly slave owners literally received reparations when there should have been Nurembergs.

Thafuq are you on? Their "crimes" were downplayed and hardly anyone was executed for the endless list of subhuman behavior they only too gleefully perpetrated.

Whose crimes were downplayed?

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 day ago

Slaveholders’ crimes were downplayed and the history of the Confederacy rewritten to appear noble and unrelated to slavery. Some slaveholders were even compensated financially for the freeing of their slaves, while no freed people were compensated, ever.

Did you skip history class again, son?

No, I wasn't sure if you were distinguishing between Nuremberg or the slave owners. You write "their" but there are two possible groups that could be applied to, and possibly both. Your message changes based on how I read "their", so just seeking clarification on what you're trying to say.

If you follow the original subject of the conversation, you'll see that the Nuremberg mention modifies the other, thus you have your target group. It wasn't History you skipped?
