As a person of color, I wish I could say I had the self control not to let this rhetoric that slavery had benefit to anyone but the slave owners get to me. It is absolutely infuriating that anyone would suggest such abject fucking garbage, and anyone who thinks there's a bright side to owning other people can get entirely fucked.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They want to make slavery ok again, and include everyone this time!
Well since they're ok with it and have already sold their souls to the devil they can be the first to volunteer.
It is, they can. It's enshrined in the 13th amendment.
If slavery had benefits then you billionaires don't mind becoming my slave? What? Whats the issue? It has benefits!
Gutfeld finally made it to a regular time slot eh? I remember when they had this clown prancing around at 2am, not as a re-run but because that was the actual time slot they gave him.
He was a clown then and he's a clown now, FNC must be running out of vapid blondes to parade around if they're scraping Gutfeld up and putting him on.
The worst part is he thinks he's extremely witty and droll. His smirk every time he thinks he says something funny is just awful.
To be fair, the guy has the face of a sitcom character actor. We should be laughing at every line that comes out of his face. Just not in a "hey, that was smart and funny!", more like "hah! there's that dufus again".
And is his logo supposed to invoke Garfield?
Fox "News": It's not offensive when we do it to you.
I understand the museum here. The Holocaust was terrible for so many Jews.
Anytime I see the phrase "it is essential" now I automatically think "ah chatgpt write it". Regardless, I'm surprised something like this even required a rebuke.
