Ron DeSantis Pushes Back On Slavery ‘Hoax’ From Kamala Harris As Left-Wing Moderator, Tim Scott Push It
Daily Wire ^ | September 28, 2023 | Ryan Saavedra

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pushed back on a “hoax” during the second Republican presidential primary debate that was started by Vice President Kamala Harris several weeks ago and was pushed during the debate by a leftist debate moderator and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).

Harris promoted the smear campaign about Florida’s African-American history curriculum back in July, claiming that “in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.”

Harris seized on one sentence from the 216-page curriculum that noted that freed slaves at times used skills they learned and developed during slavery to help themselves later in their lives: “Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Seriously? Did you miss his antics during St. George Floyd's martyrdom?

“I am surprised Tim Scott would participate in Kamala’s hoax.”

Not me, it’s called Tribalism and it applies to ANYONE who thinks they’re in an oppressed group, which is why Trump loaded up his Administration with White Men. Even Justice Thomas slipped into it once (that I can remember), but thankfully very rare in his case.

Tim Scott has disqualified himself from the presidency by playing the race card.

Byron Donalds willbe thenext Gov. Of Florida. He lightly criticized it. Oneofthe great things about Trump is that he is truly color blind. MAGA IS NOT ABOUT RACE!

He’s, always, had the race card, in his hand, ready to play it, if he thinks it will benefit him.

The offensive sentence is that AFTER THEY WERE EMANCIPATED some freedmen were able to use the skills they gained as slaves to their advantage.

Notice that this not what is said by Kamala Harris or by Tim Scott. They are saying that Florida teaches that SLAVES benefited from skills learned as slaves, when what is taught is that FREEDMEN benefited from skills learned as slaves.

BTW FREEMEN refers to persons born free, and FREEDMEN to persons born slave who one way or another gained their freedom.

No surprise. He endorsed Murkowski so he is a GOP-e at heart/ democrat lite.

Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman won a Nobel Prize in Economics for their book Time on the Cross which is a two-volume series. Vol 1 was the narrative and Vol 2 was the statistics and research that resulted in their conclusions. One of their conclusions was that slaves, in economic terms, were better off before the Civil War than after it. Considerable work was done assessing food, shelter, clothing, health care, and general social environment.

“Michael Steele, Colin Powell.
I am not surprised.”

Don’t forget Condoleezza Rice. Race over ideology.

Scott is a Jr Democrat trying to win his wings while flying under the radar.
