thing after all.
Well, no doubt one or two slaves díd well, that's just elementary statistics. It's like saying we actually learned something from Japan's Unit 731,or Mengele's basements. What the civilized world was told it learned was completely irrelevant, or even opposite to medicine in the 1940s.
Slavery has been around since pre-Roman times, but rarely has it been shown in such a good light.

(37,122 posts)Prove your point. Become a slave for ten years. In conditions that existed for slaves in the 17th century. Then go on the lecture circuit advocating for slavery. That wont happen because youd end up in a paupers grave in less then six months. Get a fucking life punk, instead of aggravating the fuck out of the rest of us with your namby pamby Ronnie drama.

(4,910 posts)Perhaps $500 for every day DeeSantis agrees to live under and endure slave conditions. This has to go 24/7 as DeeSantis should live in the same sort of poor accommodations afforded to slaves. Slave quarters and the unsanitary conditions present often resulted in the spread of malaria, typhus, cholera, dysentery, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.
Someone should ask Gubner Noun/Verb & Woke how blacks who endured slavery "benefited" from being exposed to these diseases? Or how they "benefited" from having their family members and children sold off?
I think KO still has a standing $$$ offer for Hannity to undergo waterboarding and then say its not torture.

Benefited from slavery? Critics say some of the states examples were never even slaves.
Several critics argued that nearly half of the 16 historic figures highlighted by the state were never enslaved. Others, who did spend time in slavery, did not gain their skills from their servitude.
They just threw out a bunch of names to make it seem like something good came of (slavery), said Andrew Spar, president of the Florida Education Association teachers union. The reality of it is, the facts dont back up what they are saying.
