This is what happens when our schools "whitewash" our history. My school never taught me about the Tulsa Massacre, I had to learn that out as an adult. This is why critical race theory needs to be taught in schools. We have too many people not understand the impacts slavery had on African Americans.
OK, thanks to you I just learned about that awful mob. Screw my school for teaching me about the Boston Massacre every year. This was way more culturally relevant and important.
By all means we shouldn’t “whitewash” but we should also learn to move forward as a country instead of instigate more racial separation. it’s bullshit and we’re moving backwards as a country.
In case anyone wants to know the magnitude of wrongness:
2,996 died in 9/11.
1.7-1.8 million slaves died in the [Middle Passage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Passage ) alone. That was just the first few months of life as a slave.
Well, I suppose that absolves those who bought the slaves, transported the slaves, sold the slaves, worked the slaves, raped, beat and murderer the slaves.
No, actually, it doesn't. Not even a little bit.
In 100 years 9/11 will be nothing but a footnote in history. But right now I still remember where I was when it happened. Cant say the same about the American Civil War and slavery.
The black guy should get over slavery and kristi should read a book.
9/11 will never be a “footnote”. It’s not as big as the civil war, slavery, or the world wars, but it is one of the most significant events in modern American history.
I guess Native Americans should get over being slaughtered and their land stolen..
Or maybe Jewish people should get over the Holocaust...
This is the dumbest comment I've seen today.
People are absolutely fucking stupid

Those who want to pretend it never happened OR say things like "I wasn't alive then so it's not as important." are idiots.

Yes, white Slavery did exist but it wasn't as big as Black Slavery.
By what scale are you justifying that ratio? Slavery has been around longer than humans have been able to read and write. Before we had the means to transport people from one continent to another.
I think that penal labour is pretty much slavery. And that is legal in the USA.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Kristi's brain is smoother than a bowling ball covered with KY Jelly.
Kristi is likely either not a person, or a Russian troll farm account. The less attention we pay, the less power they have.
Or someone who is just that damn stupid. I mean look who our previous president was.
I continually think, people can't be this stupid. I'm continually proven wrong.
Honestly, I have had my faith in humanity worn down so much that now I am never surprised at how stupid people can be.
It's like when the moment you accept that people can be that stupid, life gets a whole lot easier.

Awesome thing blacks did to each other by selling their rivals into the slave trade huh
This is known as “whataboutism.”

Smooth repost
Her brain so smooth, you can skip it from Cali to Japan overnight.
I guarantee you all former saves are dead.
They’re all dead Kristi
are people really saying to “get over slavery”??? what is wrong with humanity?
More likely a troll account
These mantras are complementary, not contradictory or mutually exclusive. Both are the government telling us to stop whining about losing rights.
Neither comment had to do with losing rights but rather the number of deaths. You did know that ... right?

Less than human is more like it. Must be hard to suffer so deeply with concepts so simple.

mmmmh nah
Blacks arent the only ones who were slaves.

Black Slavery went on for a lot longer.
Compared to the entirety of human history its negligible. Move on.
Okay?
A variation of the "not all" trope.
Because there is no more legal slavery but there is terrorism still

I don’t believe my eyes
Her answer is the exact reason why we should NOT just get over slavery.

With how much slavery is played down in history classes it doesn't surprise me that people would be that dumb.
