What about the time we enslaved people who weren’t white for over a century and then almost split in half over it?

Then after that the segregation, lynching, shootings, fetishization, housing bans, zoning laws...

Really racist every step of the way.

I'd add the movement against reparations as well. So many studies have shown how various types of Jim Crow laws devastated black generational wealth in ways that won't be fixed for a very long time. And still people think reparations are not owed since they weren't recently enough a slave.

She already said that wasn't about slavery. She's fucking nuts.

Nope, didn't happen.

I will explain: Faux News never reported on it, thus it did not happen.

I only wish I could add a /s here, but instead all I can add is according to a certain POV. :-(
