Ron DeSantis defended Florida’s controversial rules, which will require teaching that enslaved Africans “developed skills” that “could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Well maybe if they had picked themselves up by the bootstraps, saved more of their income, stopped buying chai lattes and avocado toast every day for lunch, and had daddy give them a million dollars worked really hard to earn their cash, they could have bought their freedom.
Developed skills or not, slaves were treated horribly.
