Many people have distress lasting 70 or more years from the events of the holocaust and feel pain upon seeing pictures. They do not demand reparations/money/apology/etc.
Once all the pictures disappear there’s no proof it actually happened.
Then maybe they’ll STFU
I guess anything historical will be banned because it might trigger someone. I have seen old photos of slaves, some showing marks of having been brutally beaten. It is funny how those who constantly tell us everything in America is based on slavery and everything and everyone is racist, would want old photos and documents banned - like on the one hand we are to remember everything bad and ONLY everything bad in great detail (or rather, a Marxist interpretation) but on the other hand we are supposed to have historical amnesia where anything bad is “too controversial” and censored.
“There is something I have wondered about for awhile after the topic came up in a discussion. How common was slave torture or abuse?”
“Think of slaves as expensive farm equipment (yes, of course they were human beings, but bear with me for a minute). A healthy slave in 1860 cost around $1000. In today’s money around $35,000. About the price of a medium-sized tractor.”
I’d then ask the class if it is legal for a tractor owner to bash his tractor with a hammer. They all agreed that it is. “But why wouldn’t he?”, I’d ask. They all said it would be stupid for him to do so. “Why wouldn’t he put watered-down gas or diesel in his tractor?” Again, they saw right away that it is in the tractor owner’s interest to take as good care of his equipment as he can.
Did all slave owners treat their slaves well? Of course not. But most did treat them decently if for no other reason it was in their best interest to take decent care of them.
This appears to be in direct violation of the First Amendment.
Enjoy your diabetes.
NO people or organizations in this story to cheer for. To hades with them all.
Yeah...what you wrote...Harvard helped create the problem...course they have millions they can payout...little guys, not so much...
Looks like legally created reparations ... just a sly way of doing it. Hordes of grifters paging through books looking for a Mass. lottery ticket.
America is a you know what hole at this point.
Sodom with insanity sprinkled around.
Cool.
This story outraged me but there is the claim these are her direct relatives and she asked them not to use the photos. Or she claims some ownership of the images.
Unless she does have a legal right to the images it’s still a ridiculous claim.
Were the pictures taken against their will? Of course they were, they were slaves. If you think they were rewarded, prove it. Highly unlikely. Slavery was not a voluntary situation.
It’s not an excellent point, they were slaves. Do you honestly think they could have opted not to be photographed that day? Not even possible.
This frivolous case is a noted example of why we need loser pays legislation.
Black kids in the hood getting shot up well that’s cool? 155 year old picture is a trigger that shows why things won’t improve the narrative is upside down.
Harvard and mass of two shitz happy together
But that's not the narrative sold to the public. The narrative is constant beatings, whippings and all sorts of other torture and abuse.
They put forth this narrative because it supported their political goals, not because it was true.
