Southern white slave owners were the group most responsible for African-American slavery. Sounds like a fairly obvious statement, doesnt it? Those revisionists who try to blame African slave-traders or other groups are rightfully associated with the the alt-right, the Klu Klux Klan or the lunatic fringe.
Until they start teaching at public universities.
In todays clip, a group of concerned Florida Atlantic students confront professor Marshall DeRosa. A paid crony of the Koch brothers, DeRosa has used race-baiting language while blaming southern slavery on something called black supremacy. The cowardly prof tries to deny the quotes while accusing the kids of bad faith, but a well-armed student sets the record straight by reading DeRosas own argument out loud.
It only takes two words for the brutal truth to sink in. Click to watch youngsters chase a racist out of their classroom.

(31,261 posts)The concept is essentially that Blacks victimizing Blacks is why Blacks ended up being enslaved in America. An ancillary point that supremacist make is that slave owners were benign caretakers of their slaves, caretakers that saved them from a more gruesome fate.

He must be being coached by Newt Gingrich (I will sue anyone who attributes what I said yesterday on TV to me)
