Florida passed some laws about how you have to talk about the “good things” slaves got out of the whole involuntary bondage deal.

Yes, all the life skills and on the job training they received for free. The black employees who walked off the job with their employer’s intellectual property to go out and take over those industries with the knowledge they gained. You see, the civil war was about protecting IP and the stupid north was just stealing all the IP by allowing the former employees to set up shop. /s

Wut? What on earth do they think slaves got out of it? Unparalleled job security?
