Biden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the Black teen lynched in Mississippi - Lemmy.world

Using a child dead for 50 years to virtue signal for 2024 election. Democrats were the ones who stood for slavery. Never forget.

And ideologically modern Republicans are closer.

Example: who supported removing punishment of crimes as exemptions for slavery in the recent state votes. Much more democrats than Republicans

What does removing punishments as exemptions for slavery mean.
Thinking it means you can use slavery as a punishment for a crime. Which is how generations of black men and women were still enslaved in all but name in the south, by criminalizing their existence.
