  1. There was no benefit for any of the millions of people enslaved over the course of 246 years.
  2. It is beyond stupid. It is like they don't speak English. The words they are looking for are perseverance and human spirit. The word "Benefit" is just trolling, which is unacceptable it that context from those fine people.
  3. So we should mention in our history curriculum that Native Americans were treated ethically because that is how it was done back in the day. Circling back to the beginning of this discussion- I am unmoved from my original assessment that it was racist AF and essential to the construction of our country.
  4. No kidding. People are so emotional they have lost nearly all objectivity. I didn’t judge anybody or apply any standard, I only said truth should be taught in schools. Crazy town! What does the race of the professor have to do with it? Do you think it would be difficult to find professors of any and all races to push back on this? Or only white people. Be objective. How about this guy? https://youtu.be/v6x-n6L-h_I?feature=shared
  5. How should Native Americans teach their children of their treatment of people they subjugated? With lies, euphemisms and rationalizations? That is what we do. We should tell the truth. Hind sight has given us clarity, no need to throw it away.
  6. He is a politician and a piss poor writer. Holy smokes!
  7. Wow. The question is 100% unworthy of an answer. I think you understand slavery, the question is whether you have considered the implications or not.
  8. You expect an explanation of the difference between a person being livestock and being livestock with extra cornbread?
  9. Are we so poorly educated the treatment of Native Americans isn't even considered history?
  10. You ain't just whistlin' dixie!
  11. Not what it says. https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/20653/urlt/6-4.pdf
  12. Some slaves benefitted from slavery comes to mind. Along with a denial that racism played an essential role in the building of our country.
  13. Who needs satellite radio when you have a big, fat broadband pipe?
  14. History is taught, just not actual history.
  15. Let's call it freedom!!
  16. Books are banned from public libraries, which are government run and subject to politics. Governments do ban books and declare it to be freedom. Children should be taught truth about country, which is far different from hate even when the truth is a bitter pill to swallow.
  17. Question for the dairy farmers -can feed be dialed up and down to partially regulate milk production?
  18. I do love the "Ban the books and call it freedom" trope.
  19. Save it. Most farmers allow collecting corn cobs right after harvest.
  20. Why does Florida DOE support AP European history yet censor AP African American studies?
  21. Their ringmaster didn't help them in any way. SAD!
  22. Bring Out Another Thousand?
  23. Pro tip: X percent of Y is the same as Y percent of X. Use whichever is easier. For example, 100% of 78 = 78% of 100 =>78 8% of 25 = 25% of 8 => 2 34% of 145 = 145% of 34 => 49.3
  24. While 1 is indeed 10% of 10, 1÷10 is just plain old 0.1
  25. Gingrich has quite the bio. No doubt about that.
