DeSantis rocked by Black Republican revolt over slavery comments - Lemmy.world

The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.

I don’t understand black republicans at all. It’s just as crazy as gay or trans republicans- I wanna be like “dude, your party fucking hates you”. How do they not see it?
It's mostly religion. I find it strange how hard some African Americans took to Masters religion.

Because Christianity played a major part in helping black people overcome slavery and united them together?

Also all Civil Rights movements in America started in the Protestant Church

Awesome!

Could you tell us how many of the slave owners and their supporters (so in favor of slavery) were christian?

I can tell you 80% of black people are Christian right now, so you’re insulting 80% of black people and their religious beliefs

Oh, so christianity gets a pass then? Just because you start to wave a despicable race card in our faces? To use people of color as a firewall for a religion of pure hate is unteal and tells me all I need to know about you. But wait, you have shown us more!

Jewish and Muslims , there we are. You are in no doubt a heartbeat away from going racist and fascist. Not a huge surprise for a person supporting christianity, a religion at the forefront of most heinous acts in history.

Glad you have dropped the christian mask and shown us what christians do when you show them their cult was in the wrong.

Please do not belittle other peoples religious beliefs and customs. Thank you.

Everyone in the United States of America is free to practice their religious beliefs, it is against the ideals of Basic Human Rights to deny anyone that right, especially here in America. If 80% of Black Americans are Christians then I believe it is only appropriate, and in accordance with the ideals of a free democratic society, to respect that belief, not to dehumanize Black people for choosing what they wish to.

Actually we have the freedom to openly mock religious beliefs. As long as the Christian Facists don't completely take over the country.
