bonnie1962 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 People of average intelligence understand this is not meant to state that people were enslaved for the purpose of teaching them new skills. Rather because of need of the owners new skills were taught to some slaves, benefitting the slave owner but ultimately working for the benefit of some slaves. And surprise, surprise America did not invent slavery. July 23, 2023 Contrary to Kamala’s lies, Florida’s new black studies standards are awesome By Kathleen Brush Vice President Harris is railing against Florida’s new standards for social studies because, within the 215-page-long standards, there is a line that says: “Examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation). Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” (Here’s a more user-friendly breakdown of what Florida actually teaches about black Americans.) Harris garnered positive headlines on the left because of her fiery assertion that this one sentence means that slavery is being taught as a positive good in Florida: Thus, Harris objects to noting that slavery had any benefits for any slaves. However, the historical reality is that the skills taught to slaves affected about 25% of slaves and gave them opportunities in management and a chance to earn extra income, along with the ability to be outsourced and live on their own. After 1865, skilled slaves found jobs where immigrants and unskilled whites did not. These were big personal benefits. It’s not earth-shattering that Harris is taking a few lines out of context. This is how politicians and legacy media get attention. What is disturbing about Harris’s shrill indictment of the new Florida curriculum is that she is taking away Florida’s deserved applause for putting together an objective and quite thorough history of key events in American history. Moreover, it’s one that does not scrimp on African American history. Ironically, Harris calls the new Florida standards “revised” history, but that may be because there has been so much revisionist black history taught in America that objective history seems revised. The new standards deserve special kudos for placing history into context so Americans can compare and contrast events in America with those in other nations at the same time. This has enormous educational value. For example, it allows students to learn that, contrary to popular belief, America did not invent slavery. They will also see that America is a country to be proud of—warts and all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phkrause Posted July 25, 2023 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2023 Black Folks Who Were Touted by Florida as Benefiting From Slavery Weren’t Enslaved A report by the Tampa Bay Times has exposed just how flawed Florida’s new education policy about teaching slavery—that it somehow may have benefited some Black people —really is, with nearly half of the examples provided by the state having never been enslaved at all. The Times reports that the state listed 16 names when pressed to provide proof of how slavery may have benefitted Black people, but the examples were shoddy at best. A museum dedicated to Lewis Latimer , a man touted by Florida education officials as an example, says he was born to free, self-liberated parents in 1848 before he went on to be an inventor that worked on the development of the telephone. The Museum of the American Revolution described James Forten, another example cited by the state, as a Black entrepreneur born to free parents. Henry Blair, Paul Cuffe and John Chavis were other examples provided by Florida, despite them being born free. https://www.newsbreak.com/florida-state/3099920743313-black-folks-who-were-touted-by-florida-as-benefiting-from-slavery-weren-t-enslaved Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.
