The ones saying that black people benefitted from slavery are the same ones saying that women benefit from rape.

In a weird and moronic way, the first amendment right to "Freedom of Speech and Expression" got twisted to mean, "I can suppress your freedoms because dur dee hur."

Guaranteed this won’t pass. It flies in the face of racism.

This is so weird I'm interested in how they justify this claim. Did life expectancy increase or something?

No, but the dipshits who passed the law this is in response to claimed they benefitted from slavery with job skills basically. Its fucking insane

Hah that's crazy! 'What are they complaining about!? They got taught the valuable (to the owners) skill of picking cotton!' That's wild.
