[–] zaph@lemmy.world 75 points 3 years ago (5 children) It's important not to forget the past. If America treated slavery the same way we'd be a lot further socially. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [+] NathanielThomas@lemmy.world 32 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago (1 child) Is that a face or are you referring to the asterisk wildcard and implying you can put any social evil instead of the asterisk? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] NathanielThomas@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] HessiaNerd@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago You don't need the dot unless you want to exclude files without extensions. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nika03@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Just an asterisk. .

The 4th Reich wasn't going to have that problem. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cook_pass_babtridge@feddit.uk 6 points 3 years ago I wish the UK would do the same. At least in the US they learn a bit about slavery - here in the UK we learn nothing about the British Empire and its atrocities. No wonder we have statues of slave traders everywhere. permalink fedilink source parent [+] SneedsFeednSeed@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social 11 points 3 years ago American here. What is this “slavery” you speak of? I didn't know either, so I consulted some textbooks from Florida. Turns out, it was a long-term internship program that the New World set up to help out the uncivilized savages from Africa. As I understand it, it was a physically demanding program, and most of those who participated didn't make it to the end, but those who did gained life skills that would continue to impact not only them, but generations of their dependents. Some, especially teachers in Florida who wish to keep their jobs, might say it was the very first Affirmative Action program. When you look at it that way, we should be proud of this part of our heritage. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nBodyProblem@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I know there is regional variation on how the slave trade is taught, but when I was in school we had numerous, extended, and graphic discussions on the horrors of the slave trade starting from elementary school and extending into college. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zaph@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Without doxxing yourself could you give an idea of where you went to school? I went to public school in the south and other than being mentioned I didn't learn much about slavery in school. I mean we learned about the underground railroad and generally knew about the slave trade and that being a slave was about the worst thing humanly possible. But other than getting whipped they didn't talk about much of the torture or punishments they'd went through. Civil rights I remember being discussed more in depth than slavery but when I was a kid I attributed it through the fact that most of my teachers remember the civil rights movement from when they were my age.

I have also lived in the south and many of the southern states are still feeling the effects of decades of extensive lobbying on education by the Daughters of the Confederacy. They DoC has historically pushed a narrative about slaves being happy and content overall, cared for by empathetic masters who valued their well-being. There are many monuments still standing glorifying the wartime deeds done by “loyal” and happy slaves. It’s really insidious. permalink fedilink source parent
