[CGVT]

It is an argument that has been made for as long as I can remember to try to downplay the evil of slavery.

"Some people were better off being slaves"

"Some learned valuable skills"

That is what Desantis watered down, or should I say white washed version of history is trying to do.

This is just a small part of it.

So what CGVT and the Progs are saying is...you cannot agree that both things are true...that slaves did develop some skills in slavery....and that slavery was an abomination. You have to believe one or the other.

Classic Race Baiting 101.

In an interview clip ABC News posted, Allen denounced the vice president's comments, saying Harris was “categorically false” with her remarks.

He went on to say that "the only criticism I’ve encountered so far is a single one that was articulated by the vice president" and that it was an error since "it was never said that slavery was beneficial to Africans.”

"I just want to foster and encourage everyone to take the time to read, or as I said in my response to the vice president, I think every intellect can understand the language written there if people only take the time to read it," Allen told reporters. "It’s only those who don’t take the time to read it who will misstate it."

He continued to defend the coursework his group helped implement.

“It is the case that Africans proved resourceful, resilient, and adaptive, and were able to develop skills and aptitudes which served to their benefit, both while enslaved and after enslaved,” he said.

CGVT, are you suggesting that Dr. William B. Allen is racist?

AlabamAlum, given the state of affairs between the waring parties in Ukraine on July 27th 2023 (Day 519 of Russia's invasion of Ukraine), in your view what outcome that ends hostilities should be reached?

I ask this question after your post up-thread where you said, "sorry Jeff," in a post where your central point involved the extreme levels of unfunded spending by the Biden administration, to include that earmarked for Ukraine, that is driving inflation in the US.

I'm assuming here that you are opposed to the current and future levels of spending by the US in support of Ukraine. You also, I assume, know that I have no problem with it. I would also support more spending to achieve an outcome between combatants that restores the pre - 2014 internationally accepted Ukrainian boarders and dealt with the legally founded DNR and LNR. The outcome would also call for the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from within all of Ukraine. This outcome includes the resumption of implementation and compliance with Minsk I and II of 2014 and 15 respectively under UN/OSCE signatory compliance supervision.

Alleging that JP Morgan Chase knew for years about Epstein's underage sex trafficking operation and was an accomplice on the financial side.

[Hannibal]

There's a reason why Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell are the first sex traffickers in history to apparently have no Johns.

[THE_WIZARD_]

There is a reason that Epstein is dead.

[Hannibal]

There is a reason that Epstein is dead.

It's because he's a whiz who managed to get the prison guards to fall asleep at the same time as a mysterious camera malfunction.

Duhh

[Da Geezer]

The lengths you all will go to defend this piece of shit is amazing.

Slavery was a good thing for some slaves.

Jesus fucking Christ

No one here has even intimated that slavery has any redeeming value.

Classic straw man argument.
