BREAKING: Florida Republicans suffer a historic humiliation as a new report exposes their education policy which teaches that slaves benefitted from their bondage — it turns out that HALF of the example individuals used were never even slaves in the first place.
Buckle up, because this one is a doozy...
Thanks to Republicans, Florida's 2023 Social Studies curriculum for sixth to eighth grade falsely teaches that "slaves developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit." Apparently, conservatives think that being forced to do brutal agricultural work and other tasks was really just a form of resume building.
But when asked to provide specific examples of individuals who benefitted from their time as slaves, Florida's revisionist account of history completely fell apart.
The state listed sixteen names when asked to provide proof that slavery benefitted Black people.
One example they gave was Lewis Latimer. A museum dedicated to him states that he was in fact born to free, self-liberated parents in 1848. He later went on to become an inventor and helped develop the telephone — but none of the skills he used came from being a slave since he never was a slave.
Several of the other examples were likewise born free. Clearly, Florida Republicans cannot provide real examples of slaves benefitting from enslavement because no such examples exist.
This offensively false idea is just the latest conservative effort to downplay the brutality and evil of slavery — and in doing so push the idea that Black people should simply "move on" since it wasn't that bad.
It's as ahistorical as it is racist.

It’s September 1…. I live in New Orleans. All y’all talking about Fall and Fall stuff, shut up. I still have 2.5 more months of summer.
I will spontaneously combust if I so much as look at a sweater or jacket. #itshot #stillneedAC #summer #fall #stopit
