"Everyone suffered through slavery in America, including black people," said @Reince Priebus.

Does privilege cease to be privilege when privilege makes one this stupid?

how the writing team at The Onion must seriously sit around at their story meetings shaking their heads and lamenting how they used to own satire, but now the Trump administration has stolen it and made it reality.

The original person was making fun of his comments on Jews and the Holocaust

I only figured out how Twitter worked last night, and I can't get to the tweet on my phone browser. Because I'm clearly not a rocket scientist

However, it was desi@desijed

Slavery was not nice for black people! That's an improvement from Gone With the Wind.

I know those white slave holders suffered watching the blacks picking that cotton, working in the fields, catering to their every needs. As the ice melted in their mint juleps, oh, the suffering.

Unfortunately, with all of the crap they are saying it is hard to tell what is real and what is made-up. To maintain our own integrity, we need to make sure we are not inadvertently spreading fake news.

As you can tell from the comments below that people believe that is what Priebus ACTUALLY said, rather than satire of this reprehensible actual comment: "Everyone suffered in the Holocaust, including the Jewish people."

this is how the segue was made from one to the other -- and picked up as if more than an analogy, on this FB thread, which MUST be corrected now
