I don't give two shitz who you're allegedly hanging out with... there was nothing beneficial about slavery. NOTHING.

 

 

Can you show me the part of the standard, written by Black people, that you disagree with? Right now you sound like a conservative person impersonating a lunatic liberal.

That 'Racist' Line in Florida's Curriculum?  A Woke Course Democrats Loved Says the Same Thing

by Thomas McKenna

 

An African American Studies course defended by Democrats teaches the same historical item Vice President Kamala Harris and others excoriated Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) for allowing in his state’s curriculum.

 

(snip)

 

the AP African American Studies course framework designed by the College Board, which many Democrats including Harris defended in the face of scrutiny from DeSantis, includes a similar line. "In addition to agricultural work, enslaved people learned specialized trades and worked as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians, and healers in the North and South," the AP course framework reads. "Once free, African Americans used these skills to provide for themselves and others."

It’s unfortunate and disgusting…but we have to move on.  
 

The fight against the deep state will continue post Trump.

 

 

[Coffeesforclosers]

So DeSantis was ready for another lay up fight against the clown car that is the Florida Democratic Party.

 

He was not ready to be hit by black Republicans...all of whom are either running against him, or have already endorsed Trump.

 

...aaaaannnndded just like that, he's back on the defensive. On a race issue, right after he fired a staffer for posting some possibly, maybe, nazi imagery.

 

I was told this guy was smart. Still waiting for the proof. He's great at running up the score against gong show opposition with a rubber stamp legislature to help him. How's about he wins a fight against someone who can hit him back?

Written by black people... you should read this article: Florida’s New Black History Standards Have Drawn Backlash. Who Wrote Them?  - In updating the standards to comply with a new law that limits how racism can be taught, officials largely bypassed the state’s African American History Task Force.

 

But as requested Buffalo Timmy - here's a few:

 

SS.68.AA.2.3

Examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural

work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing,

transportation).

Benchmark Clarifications:

Clarification 1: Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be

applied for their personal benefit.

 

Only pro-slavery apologists believe in the fantasy that BLACK PEOPLE BENEFITED FROM BEING ENSLAVED - JFC

 

 

SS.912.AA.3.6

Describe the emergence, growth, destruction and rebuilding of black

communities during Reconstruction and beyond.

Benchmark Clarifications:

Clarification 1: Instruction includes the ramifications of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on

individual freedoms (e.g., the Civil Rights Cases, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws, lynchings, Columbian

Exposition of 1893).

Clarification 2: Instruction includes acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans but

is not limited to 1906 Atlanta Race Riot, 1919 Washington, D.C. Race Riot, 1920 Ocoee Massacre, 1921

Tulsa Massacre and the 1923 Rosewood Massacre.

 

The ONLY mention of the Ocoee Massacre (where a WHITE MOB ATTACKED SERVERAL BLACK RESIDENTS) was "perpetrated against AND BY African Americans?"

 

Really?  Awesome context BRO!

 

 

SS.68.AA.1.6

Examine the service and sacrifice of African patriots during the Revolutionary

Era (e.g., Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem, James Armistead Lafayette, 1st

Rhode Island Regiment).

 

HA - even the US Army's own website tells a different story....

 

At the start of the war, Washington had been a vocal opponent of recruiting black men, both free and especially slaves. He wasn't alone: Most southern slave owners (and many northern slave owners), found the idea of training and arming slaves and thereby abetting a possible slave rebellion far more terrifying than the British. Black men had long served in colonial militias and probably even saw action during the French and Indian War, explained retired Maj. Glenn Williams, a historian at the U.S. Army Center for Military History, but they had usually been relegated to support roles like digging ditches. In fact, he continued, most southern militias had been created precisely to fight off slave insurrections.

SS.912.AA.2.7

Analyze the contributions of founding principles of liberty, justice and

equality in the quest to end slavery.

Benchmark Clarifications:

Clarification 1: Instruction includes the principles found in historical documents (e.g., Declaration of

Independence as approved by the Continental Congress in 1776, Chief Justice William Cushing’s notes

regarding the Quock Walker case, Petition to the Massachusetts Legislature on January 13, 1777,

Constitution of Massachusetts of 1780, Constitution of Kentucky of 1792, Northwest Ordinance of

Congress Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1808).

The R party is becoming grumpier and less educated

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/31/us/politics/2024-poll-nyt-siena-trump-republicans.html

 

Increasingly on the trail, Mr. DeSantis is calling attention to his “blue-collar” roots and his decision to serve in the military as reasons voters should support him as he runs against a self-professed billionaire. But the poll showed Mr. Trump lapping Mr. DeSantis among likely Republican primary voters earning less than $50,000, 65 percent to 9 percent.

As of now, Mr. DeSantis’s few demographic refuges — places where he is losing by smaller margins — are more upscale pockets of the electorate. He trailed Mr. Trump by a less daunting 12 points among white voters with college degrees, 37 to 25 percent. Among those earning more than $100,000, Mr. DeSantis was behind by 23 points, half the deficit he faced among the lowest earners.

The Florida slavery smear

By Rich Lowry

 

There have been so many poisonous and stupid lies about Florida since 2020, it's almost hard to keep track, but the latest may be the most outrageous.

 

As you might have heard thanks to the vice president of the United States, Florida allegedly wants to teach its students that slavery benefited slaves.

 

In reality, the Florida curriculum on slavery is extensive and includes pretty much everything you'd want a child to know about this enormity. The occasion for the Kamala Harris smear is one line that says, "Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."

 

This is not the first thing, or even the 19th, that you'd want students to learn about slavery, but it is also indisputably true.

 

No one is saying the enslaved "benefited" from slavery.

 

It's not an endorsement of slavery to point out that slaves looked for every crack in the system to try to improve themselves and gain some autonomy -- rather, it's an endorsement of the initiative and resilience of an oppressed people operating in the worst of circumstances.

 

We are supposed to believe that enslaved African Americans strained against their awful condition in every way -- learning to read, worshiping on their own, defying their masters when they could, creating an elaborate system of escape, but they never, ever learned a skill to their own benefit.

 

This is, of course, nonsense. The Advanced Placement African American Studies curriculum that Florida has rejected contains almost exactly the same language about skills as the state's curriculum--without causing a firestorm of criticism.
