Oh no!! Maybe he should go back in time and prevent the developement of chatel slavery, if he's so worked up about the historical representation of slavery in-general.
That said, chatel slavery seems alive and well in the US Prison system. Maybe some of us really are too distracted by the history to bother fixing things in the present. Mr. Mangione allegedly might have something to say about it. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention at that cookout, back on December 4th.

You think so, and you're right, but ask yourself why TACO want would want to reframe slavery as "not that bad."
Its because they're going to start renting out the detainees of the concentration camps for labor.

Considering the thirteenth amendment literally enshrined slavery into our Constitution... Yeah, it's alive and well.
You can't understand progress without an understanding of historical reality.
It's amazing how all these dumbasses look exactly the same. I knew exactly what she'd look like even before watching the video.
Fun fact I overheard! This is a thing in cults. It's something about a uniform appearance plus appearance policing (either overt or to fit in).
I am so ready to go home and throw it in much trash Mormon mother's face. I hate that she buys into this shit.
Y’all know he’s demented as fuck, right?
You need to take the bad with the good, otherwise you'll never understand how far we've come. We hold on to slavery to remind us what it took, how efforts were not in vain, and to continue work on pushing for the things we believe in. We are here today because of the hardships we have endured yesterday. It's not "white guilt", it's to remind the world that slavery is bad no matter who does it, to teach us what it looks like, and that we all benefit from eliminating slavery, no matter the form it takes.
When we forget those things, we have things like the anti-vacc movement. People who have their own beliefs that fly in the face of reality, who've never had the experiences first hand, and to bend the notion of what is good. It rewrites the legacy of people's efforts, obscures the lessons used to fight, and trivializes the problems of the time. It manipulates both people and purpose and turns it against each.
My own opinion: Nobody feels guilty about slavery. There are only those that feel regret it's not still around.
time to stomp some Nazi Republicans? please?
