DeSantis Supports Florida's New School Curriculum That Calls Slavery a 'Benefit' for Black Americans (msn.com)
Over the past couple of years, Florida, led by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, has passed several controversial pieces of legislation. The most recent was approved on May 29, 2024, which states that Florida's public schools will now teach a curriculum that claims Black Americans actually benefited from slavery.
On May 29, 2024, the Florida Board of Education announced that it had "elevated Florida's nation-leading resiliency standards." These new "standards" included several provisions, such as teaching the effects of social media, personal health, and substance abuse. But it also changed the language that will be used to teach students about slavery.
The National Education Association reported that Florida's new curriculum say that African Americans benefited from slavery.

Your topic line indicates present tense... as though DeSantis is advocating for modern day slavery because it serves the black community well... which is total ****.
The point being made (and it's a valid one) is that black people in this Country today are in a better position in means of the availability of opportunities, technology, healthcare, etc etc because their ancestors where brought (past tense) to this Country 100's of years ago as slaves.
The spin in this story is trying to say that DeSantis is saying that slavery was, or even still is, a "good" thing... which is not the point in any way shape or form.

What's so sad is, a large portion of the electorate in this Country willingly swallows that **** without question, and begs for more.
One of my daughter's friends (25 year old female) walked in a few days ago ranting about how she "heard" that if Trump was elected, he was going to start throwing women in prison for having a miscarriage... and she was 100% sure it was the truth too.
Her "source" for this info?
TikTok.
The brainwashing machine is real I tell ya.

Here's a fun fact from our heritage:The standard includes controversial language that claims, “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Here is another fun fact from our heritage: In many southern states, slaves were taught to be coopers. Upon gaining their freedom, these slaves were able to go into business and were paid quite well for their labors. One might make a statement of fact, such as "slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”Coopers were the highest paid tradesmen within the brewery owing to their specialised skill set, along with the time finishing an apprenticeship could take. A cooper could also be paid per cask rather than a weekly wage. This 'piecework' rate benefited coopers who could combine speed and quality with a handsome profit.

The NEA is saying it - and you are hyperventilating about it, without fact checking.
Tell me if I have it wrong.

It’s funny to watch you splain something so stupidly If your great grand daddy hadn't come to this Country in the belly of a slave ship in the early 1700's, there is a good chance you would still be living in a thatch hut with no electricity and **** in a hole in the ground in Sub-Saharan Africa right now.Mrkelly » 16 Jun 2024, 12:46 pm » wrote: ↑It’s funny to watch you splain something so stupidly
unless you have some proof that show what he said
I call BShttps://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news- ... 20slavery.
- Florida's new standards for how African American history should be taught have drawn severe criticism across the country, especially in The Sunshine State.
- These new standards require middle school students to be taught that the experience of slavery was beneficial to African Americans because it helped them acquire skills—a setback for students

So... what was I explaining "stupidly".

Was it the part where I refuted the OP for insinuating that DeSantis was advocating that slavery was/is beneficial to black folks because it taught or teaches them a skill set that they otherwise wouldn't have had?
Is that saying slavery was or is a "good thing"? No, not at all... but OP was insinuating that DeSantis was taking the position that it was because he signed that bill, and that is simply false.
