DeSantis signs bill limiting tenure at Florida public universities

Worth mentioning that there was no such thing as slavery in the US at all until a black man went to court to create it:

What point do you think you're making here? Just because the word "slave" wasn't used doesn't mean some people didn't live in a de facto state of slavery already.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that some people made money off of slavery instead of lumping all white people, including those from states that never allowed slavery, together? Wouldn't it be more honest to say that this is a class issue rather than a race issue? Don't you feel kind of stupid damning the hundreds of thousands of people who died fighting against slavery during the Civil War as racists who got rich off of the practice?

Wow, nice strawman you constructed there. I asked why you brought up the "point" that slavery in the proto-US (not the US) happened because someone sued for their freedom, after 15 years as an indentured servant. You still didn't answer me.

And you're taking an extremely simplistic view. No one reasonable is arguing that 100% of all white people in the history of the United States were raving racists. What they are saying is that the success of this country, especially the economy of the Antebellum South, was at least partly due to the practice of treating people as property. And because they were treated as property, there was a long, hard-fought battle to gain equal rights and respect as the white population of the USA.
