Isn't it funny how 100 year ago republicans and abolitionists were fighting to end slavery and now republicans don't want slavery taught at all?

Republican lawmakers across the country keep trying to whitewash U. S. slavery Salon. com

I’m pretty sure they are still teaching the history of the Civil War in school. 🙄

Oddly they leave out that Africans kept and sold slaves long before Whitey showed up to their shores.

Oh and they also leave out that the Democrats were the party of the Confederacy.

Aaaand they also leave out that the KKK was started by Democrats.

But whatever. 🙄 Details, details...

They also leave out the part where Africans today have more slaves than America ever had.

Democrats don't care about actual history, they just want to create their own version of history.

No, they don't. It's you jackasses that don't understand it was a done thing back then, and there were no "republicans" or "democrats" like they are today.

@jshm2 If it was a done thing, why are theyany more jackasses to point out that Africans had slaves before white people showed up in Africa?

they do want slavery taught but for it to be taught accurately not revisionist history. if it was taught accurately, guess who is going to lose out on the votes?

[goaded]

Republicans. Why else do you think they don't want it accurately taught?

[Sasahara]

@goaded He did say they wanted it to he taught accuratly, so why would he think the complete opposite?

[goaded]

@Sasahara Well, I suspect that his idea of "taught accurately not revisionist history" is different from mine. There's a long history of people pretending that slavery wasn't that bad, or even a boon to black people.

[LazerBean]

A democratic must have told you that, since it's not true.

[jongreat46]

prove it.

Republicans used to be the good guys and democrats were shitty. Other way around now
