#wdncw #realhistory I don‘t know who needs to hear this or be reminded but slavery was bad. There should be no debating about this. Talking about it is not “woke.” It was a pure evil system. If you‘re on the side of saying it wasn‘t that bad you‘re either a N—i or White Suprem@cist. You clearly need to re-evaluate your understanding of history. Denying the telling of people‘s history/experiences doesn‘t mean it didn‘t happen.

ncsufoxes You can‘t ignore what makes you feel uncomfortable. It still happened. 3w

dabbe Our nation never fully dealt with this since the writing of our declaration. Until we do, we will always be a nation divided. And, as Lincoln eloquently and accurately once said, “A nation divided against itself cannot stand.“ And to what everyone wrote above, 💙✊🏻💙. 3w
