why is it that you cannot even MENTION the transatlantic slave trade on the internet without some fucking PragerU asshole sniffing you out like a ravenous bloodhound to tell you it wasn't that bad
for context; this was in response to a conversation about Ann Catley, a white English woman who was sold to an admirer by her first husband, then went on to marry a slaver
like what kind of batshit insane response is this? these people are rabid, bringing up shit that's irrelevant, downplaying roles and events and just?? lying??? they sound genuinely unhinged by racism
i know i shouldn't get mad about this kind of stuff but god dammit i do, it's hard to live on the same planet as these dipshits
this is the type of person we should crowd about in the classroom and mercilessly beat with wooden rods
