You see how there's a difference between saying slavery was good and saying that slaves developed skills that could be applied for their personal benefit?
Those are absolutely not the same positions.
@volkris @InkySchwartz @cadenza
No.
Every person who has been forced to do something learns something from it. What is the point of pointing that out?
@futurebird @volkris @InkySchwartz he’s gaslighting. “See, you learned from your abuser so it can’t be all bad!” Africans already had skills. They didn’t need to be beaten, tortured, raped, and had their families taken away to learn new ones.
Can you quote a mainstream conservative saying otherwise?
Again, it seems like you're arguing against a stance that isn't being taken, arguing against a strawman.
@volkris @futurebird @InkySchwartz Fucking DeSantis says this. Every conservative in Florida says this! But you are being willfully obtuse by quibbling over semantics. You are arguing in bad faith and always have. You keep whitesplaining genocide and slavery to us, spitting out what is said with either no knowledge or no concern over historical context. Must be nice to be so privileged that you can live in a context-free universe and not pay the consequences. Go ahead and pal around Nazis and debate them. Try to befriend them and convince them to drop their genocidal hatred. Go be their useful idiot. Don’t come crying to me when it bites you in the ass, and it will.
Please quote him saying this.
You say DeSantis and all of the other conservatives say this, so please quote them.
Because all of the reporting that has been cited says otherwise.
