In "honor" of Trump and his minions' "whitewashing" (apt term) of American history, museum exhibits, and just plain grousing, as the MAGA loyalist complained about the Smithsonian "overemphasizing" slavery:
1.) The newly enslaved
got to leave their constricted African villages and travel, move, to new and
exotic lands across the Atlantic Ocean.
2.) The newly enslaved
went there by way of a leisurely sea cruise on well apportioned ships.
3.) The newly enslaved
had the opportunity to learn new job skills.
4.) The newly enslaved
got exposure to Christianity, and thus became “saved,” instead of being damned
to hell for their indigenous pagan religions.
5.) The newly enslaved
males had lots of opportunities to have sex with slave women (to reproduce more
slaves, of course), and newly enslaved females often had sexual opportunities
as well, especially with interracial sex.
and last,
6.) The newly enslaved
got to meet new people, usually people of a different race and ethnicity, thus
diversifying their social circles.
So, who says slavery wasn’t fun?
