DescriptionRepublican presidential candidate Tim Scott on Thursday criticized competitor Ron DeSantis on his support for Florida education standards requiring students to be instructed on the “benefits” of slavery.

Asked by a POLITICO reporter about the curriculum requirement at a campaign stop outside Des Moines, the South Carolina senator said he hoped that “every person in our country, and certainly running for president, would appreciate that” slavery had no benefits to enslaved people.

“There is no silver lining in slavery,” Scott said. “Slavery was really about separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating.”

...getting them to imagine a world where Africa might have grown into something else isn't gonna happen.

This is basically just warmed-over, Leonard Jeffries-style ethno-nationalism. And it's laughable. It's premised on the perception that the historic difficulties Negroid peoples in sub-Saharan Africa endured, are somehow of a wholly more detrimental and regressive character than those innumerable wars, tyrannies, and assorted sociocultural catastrophes that the peoples of Europe and Asia endured during the development of their various lands.

Things were tough all over; Black suffering isn't unique, or unprecedented. But their lack of achievement is so evident, that even you decry it...while implying it's someone else's fault.

There's a reason they put the Afro-Futurism books over there in the fiction section. Everyone is aware of the data about what happens when you administer I.Q. tests in sub-Saharan Africa, and how those results compare to those of various other peoples. The median IQ for Bantus is in the low 80s, for crying out loud. It's no great mystery what has been going on. It's just considered gauche to say it out loud. But everyone knows. You know it too.

Hikikomori Blitzkrieg!: I'm not interested in theological proclamations.

Theological: relating to the study of theology.

Theology: the study of the nature of God and religious belief.

What are u babbling about??!?!??!?!?!?!

And you really showed how stupid you are, you unironically used the term "Negroid"......a man in the 21st century literally typed that out.....

This bro is really out in the streets of the Sahel proctoring standardized tests trying to prove that he's not a monster.
