This is why Republicans are so against the teaching of history. They prefer to re-write it to fit their lies.

I just have to ask it (can't leave it alone),
is this white woman so filled with White Privilege
that she is actually trying to CO-OPT slavery?

(chuckles bitterly)

not a good look, even for a Rethuglican...

Sorry to tell her a "slave to the grind" is not a real slave.

Do you all know where the word Slav(e) comes from?

Maybe that's what she meant.

"History iS a Weapon," by Zinn, AND "Lies My Teacher Told Me," by Loewen are great reads!
