Why Nikki Haley's Silence on Slavery is Deeply Troubling

[@yonathanseleshi]

I really appreciate your voice Jemele. We really need your voice in this age of ignorance and Trump.

[@Born2BFree_From-1-God]

Why aren't you the genius? You can include ignorance and "Trump" in one sentence. Respectfully, what is your take, or opinion on Haley's answer to the cause of the American Civil War?

[@jahvohnymcintosh]

Especially cuz history of America has been completely white washed cuz they don’t want their children to know the truth of America so they chose to erase the awful parts so they could just forget bout it cuz the Black Americans will never know or remember anything that happened in the past if u just don’t talk about it!!

[@SturdyRoots007]

@@TRUTHandLIGHT4809not in this same context, no. There had been instances of slavery in centuries past, but with context you will see that those instances are very different in detail and only similar in forced categorization. As an example, the form of slavery that had existed in America prior and simultaneously was the more familiar iteration also termed sevitude, where a person often had a term to pay off a debt or in trade of… What we speak about more in America is the form that in context has its own iteration almost exclusive to the Americas, where humans were split from family and dehumanized through torture, rape, and subjugation for generations thereafter. White Americans in many cases just can’t face their comfort being a direct product of that. All it takes and certain policies to be implemented. People can go on with their naturally taught hate regardless.

The US government paid reparations before. In 1988, it paid $1.6 billion to Japanese Americans interned during World War II. It also compensated Native American tribes about 1.3 billion between 1946 and 1978 for seizing their land, although the program was criticized as incomplete and paternalistic.
