I'm reading this book rn. It's about Jim a runaway slave with his friend huck finn.
Really makes y'all understand how whites treated black people. Not just in plantations but everywhere so degrading. Got to the bit about mistrels what tf 😒 . Book takes you on his journey thru towns and what he faces. That why we celebrate #juneteenth 👊🏾

@bobthomson70 @Jaden3 Don't read the comments either, they are all waxing nostalgic for this show.

and trying to claim it's not racist because it was ok when it was aired.

That sort of thinking is how you get maga.
