Come on everyone. One thing, there is 0 comparison to the Holocaust to American slavery at all. So why the hell get so crazy trying to compare it.
Second, Slavery was introduced by English and other European slave traders. Brought to America and sold to wealthy farmers and other business owners as cheap or unpaid labor.
We don't know for fact that slaves didn't learn things in the employ of the people they worked for. Therefore I believe the education of slavery and the introduction of slaves into America and elsewhere in the world, be studied thoroughly. And as much as possible. And truthfully. Not the Desantrump way.
I think slavery may have had some good aftereffects too. It brought a new culture to America. Face it. Every non American had problems gaining equality in the US. Not just black people. Hell, even women had to fight for equality. White women.
Face it, America is an ego trip. But not all Americans of course. Some people, like whomever Ron Desantrump is listening to, don't want true history. Only the positive side. But then also some, only want to bring up the negative side.
That's why, hiding sources of learning is not a positive thing. And Ron is wrong.
I'm a German born person that came to the US at age 4. My American adopted dad, told my German mom, to only speak English to me growing up. So I totally forgot any German I knew. Obviously not that much at 4, but could have retained enough to be more bilingual. Now I wish I could at least speak some German. So to maybe speak to my relatives in Germany. But just because dad forbid my mom to at least give me some German. I know nothing. As Sargeant Shultz says.
And this is like Desantrump, forbidding African studies or studies about the history of slavery. Kids may always be ignorant about the facts. But I mean some beneficial facts too. Slavery wasn't ideal. No doubt. But back then, what was? There were white super poor too . Whites that worked for pennies a day. Barely surviving. History is about everyone's history. Why do we always have to segregate it?
