A quotation from Lincoln

I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever [I] hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1865-03-17) to the 104th Indiana Regiment, Indianapolis

#Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
#Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read.
#Nazis burned books. #Dictators censor media. That’s why #Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts
- to prevent us from learning.
It’s #fascism 101.

New article. #Slaveholders used selective #biblical interpretations to justify slavery, ignoring teachings on equality and freedom. They cited passages like #Leviticus_25:44-46 to claim #slavery was divinely sanctioned and distorted the #CurseOfHam from #Genesis_9 to argue that #Africans were destined for #servitude. #Religious teachings also became tools of control, with sermons promoting passive suffering and submission in exchange for spiritual rewards after death.

The #Confederate #Memorial at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery will be #dismantled this week.

The #removal comes in response to #legislation passed by #Congress, and amidst efforts in recent years to take down #symbols #honoring #slaveholders and #Confederate #leaders.

@paul_ipv6 @flexghost It were Republicans, who abolished slavery β€” until Lincoln's party was enslaved by Robert E.Lee's soulmates, who regrettably escaped just & due accountability.
So far...

" 'To make a contented slave,' Bailey later wrote, 'it's necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason.' This is why #slaveholders must #control what slaves hear and see and think."

-- Carl #Sagan, Demon Haunted World

Frederick #Bailey was a #slave born in 1820. It's impressive how this applies to #today's #society and its #tech #slaves.

Ron #DeSantis is an overt #whiteSupremacist. There's simply no other conclusion that can be drawn from his repugnant, #racist behavior. He seems fixated on mandating the teaching of a malevolent, ahistoric notion that seeks to minimize the horror of #slavery, and cast black #slaves as the lucky beneficiaries of valuable job skills, learned while being the property of #white #slaveholders. This is vile, historical revisionism at its worst.

Ron DeSantis defends Florida's new guidelines suggesting slavery benefited Black people

"It was them showing resourcefulness and then using those skills once slavery ended."
