One of many easy to find Hamburger Ron and Jesse Watters links about chattel slaves getting over on the whip men.

"During a press conference, Ron DeSantis claimed that slaves benefited from slavery because many learned a skilled trade like black smithin’. Jesse Watters backed him up on Fox News by telling Vice President Kamala Harris to tone it down when she angrily denounced this trash, and rightfully so."

and

"I have this mental image of a newly purchased slave asking his owner about the benefit package of his new employment — health coverage, vacation time, personal days, retirement plan, and whether he can work from home."

and sadly

"All men are created equal by gee!" (except my family and the folks I buy and sell) Thomas Jefferson.

Teach that in Florida schools Hamburger Ron.

What BS Gorgegirl? Was there supposed to be something for us to take a look at? Maybe you mean the BS from the lying corrupt Left Wing across America these days or since the reign of Obama.

Dennis,
Tip. You would appear much smarter if you just kept your thoughts to yourself.
You're welcome.

Thank you little francine for your idiotic comment but with nothing to back it up. I would not mind your idiocy if only you could take the time and brain power to speak out about exactly what thoughts you are talking about. It might lead to a good discussion. But alas you haven't the brain matter to do anything but make smart ass comments with no brain to support the BS thoughts you spew daily.

When I was a little kid growing up we had machines that did exactly what you do these days. We called them manure spreaders. You do just as well as they did back 60 or more years ago.

But HEY little girl francine, why not do something out of the ordinary, something you have never done before, stop deflecting and tell us what you are talking about.

In your case, what you need to do to appear smarter is just stop posting altogether.
Perhaps take up a hobby, like photography or reading, or just go back and finish high school.

Politico:
Some of the issues raised surrounded standards that include instruction on “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit” and lessons that touch on acts of violence perpetrated “against and by” African Americans.

Newsweek:
"I think what they're doing, is I think that they're probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a black smith, into doing things later in life," the Florida governor said.

Remember, Gorgegirl, when slavery was mostly dead or on its last legs until being brought back to life by Obama and the Racist Left Wing Party?

If there is a coherent thought in your post, I've missed it
Can you try to explain how Obama and his party brought back slavery?

dennis2146 Loc: Eastern Idaho

francine let's face it. You my poor brain depleted friend have missed about 99.9% of what is happening around the world most of your life. I suspect you still need help tying your shoes and that is the truth. You seem to know nothing except making yourself play the FOOL role. Of course you do that very well.

I have explained before a few times about Obama and bringing back slavery. Blacks were supposed to vote for him the same as they are supposed to vote for Biden now. It was Obama's way of pointing out blacks would get benefits IF they voted for Obama, phones, cars (Obama would make their car payments for them) etc. Of course Obama did his best trying to fundamentally change America from equality for all to EQUITY for blacks. Nope, no need to work for it. Money would just be given to blacks to make them, in equity, the same as all other races. You should pay attention more.

You poor deluded fool.
Just so you are aware, Obama won both elections with more than 51% of the popular vote.
Your boy, Fat Donny won the electoral vote but lost the popular vote by more than 2 million votes.
Hence, one can conclude that the country as a whole is more intelligent than you. As a side note, my dog is also more intelligent than you but he can't vote.

DeSantis actually said “some” blacks benefited from slavery. But did you take the time and put it in context to explain what DeSantis meant by it? For some reason, you people on the far left think that blacks are too stupid to benefit from this, come on, you guys even think that black Americans are too stupid to get IDs. You also think that black Americans are too stupid to do things on their own and that’s why you people on the left support affirmative action. You people on the left think that black Americans need the help of white Americans to succeed in life.

Here is something else that’s interesting, that was written over a decade ago.

Did blacks benefit from slavery?

“The matter could have been left there, but I volunteered that today’s American blacks have benefited enormously from the horrible suffering of our ancestors. Why? I said the standard of living and personal liberty of black Americans are better than what blacks living anywhere in Africa have. I then asked the professor what it was that explained how tens of millions of blacks came to be born in the U.S. instead of Africa. He wouldn’t answer, but an answer other than slavery would have been sheer idiocy. I attempted to assuage the professor’s and his colleagues’ shock by explaining to them that to morally condemn a practice such as slavery does not require one to also deny its effects.“
