Political Discussion
Ok. What exactly to you dispute? |
Yes PP, please explain why this thread is misleading. Let us know what we are missing. |
Crickets. |
NP. Are you for real? The “and by” implies that Black people are at fault for the massacres that were perpetrated against them. That’s what sane, non-KKK members dispute. |
What is historically incorrect in the bolded statement? |
NP. I have learned about that first one as an adult but didn't learn it in school. It's interesting - there were very many ways that slavery worked. Working in fields on a plantation were the worst, most dangerous and lowest class. And I don't think I learned about any of these massacres in school at all. |
This is the benchmark that clarifies: "Examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation)" Why is it necessary to point out that while they learned these skills in order to serve their masters, enslaved people would also be able to darn their own socks? |
For example, some skilled slaves were paid wages, some could choose to do, or not do, extra work for additional pay. Etc. |
Some skilled slaves could also work for others, not their masters, for pay. Just like any other skilled worker. Maybe you would learn something if you go to school in Florida. |
It sounds like teachers are required to present the idea that slavery had both pros and cons for slaves. I'm sure they are not required to present the prospects of obtaining these skills as free people. Not all propaganda requires factual untruths. |
Hooray just enough to buy the pair of shoes their enslaver wouldn't give them. |
Why do I read the 200 pages? Do you not know how to find facts? |
Sorry about those pesky facts. They can be so inconvenient. |
Aha, here is the resident slavery apologist who knows "facts" that "slavery was also beneficial to slaves". What an wonderful world we live in! /s |
Yeah, so? If they're so interested in teaching about the lives of slaves, why aren't there benchmarks teaching about their everyday lives? How they were branded like livestock, live in cramped little shacks with dirt floors, were underfed, had their children taken away and sold, whipped and beaten as punishment, forbidden to learn to read and write, etc, etc... Why does Florida want to avoid what slavery really is? |
