    Put slavery in a more positive light? There's a crock of shit if I've ever heard one.
    yeah that is like saying "these african americans were allowed to live on my plantation for free in exchange for performing a little work for me..."

    outrageous...
    Maybe them there "slaves" were simply the first illegal immigrants???? :P

    slavery and the struggle for civil rights for african americans should be taught in all american history classes.

    with what this group is doing in TN, i really expect nothing less from some of the states in the old south... why not just put confederate flags on all government buildings as well? this chapter in our history should not be allowed to just be swept under the rug as if it never happened.


    This is just the Tea Party trying to do the Democrats a favor and erase 200 years of Democrat Party policies: Slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow laws.

    Thank God for the Republicans. We free what the Dems enslave.

    You've convinced me. Teach that shit!

    All my years in school It was never taught that Africans sold there own people to Americans to be used as slaves.....The history books we were given just wanted to teach hate! Which lead to the white students being hated by the black student for something they where NEVER involved in. It also led to race riots from the time I was in 6th grade until I graduated.

    There where abusive slave owners but the majority treated them well, there were also incidents were slaves and slave owners fell in love with each other.
    Was slavery taught just to make the white students look like bad people and to try to make the white students feel guilty so they would agree to all the laws passed JUST for blacks?
    Teach it all or just teach something they can actually use in the future.
    I get sick of all the BS rhetoric that white people hate all races other than there own.

    If you ask the animals that were here first, all humans are illegal immigrants to the American continents....first it was the Asians (about 23,000 years ago)....then the Europeans, who dragged the Africans here...now we got all these damn people....but no giant ground sloths, wooly mammoths, mastodons, dire wolves or native camels. :P

    ....and the Spanish were the first modern illegal aliens

    slavery was a terrible chapter in the history of this country, and those that suffered under that institution deserve better than to have their suffering minimized and their owners glorified...

    Agreed. That part about the Indians made me laugh. Those people must have selective memory, since they are trying to revise history.

    That's why I have a problem with Columbus Day.

    Yes, slavery (African-based) was a terrible chapter in the history of the US....but it was also a terrible chapter in European history as well....and a terrible chapter in Middle Eastern history as many Arabic tribes continued the practice of raiding Africa for slaves into the 20th century.
