It is concerning we are still arguing over if slavery was wrong in today’s time.

“What slavery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating,” Scott, the sole Black Republican in the Senate, told reporters on Thursday after a town hall in Ankeny. “So I would hope that every person in our country — and certainly running for president — would appreciate that.”

    It’s hilarious and horrifying that “Black person says slavery bad” is like a brave stance he’s taking in this Republican field.

    Why the fuck is this even in question. I never thought I’d see the day. Ron DeSatan is pushing the envelope as far as he can to see what the limit is, and the resistance is too damn low.

    I would say he can kiss my ass but I don’t want that piece of shit near my butthole.

      Fox News tried to make this same claim after Michelle Obama made a comment about how it felt living in a White House built by slaves. Bill O’Reilly tried to say on his show that slaves got free housing and food.
