I am sure there are plenty of magats out there that will believe this bulls***.

Just like:
I will be too busy to golf.
Mexico will pay for the wall.
I will destroy ISIS.
I will pay off the debt.
I will fix our roads.
I will get you cheap great health insurance with no copays or deductibles.
I will force companies to move back to the US.
yada yada yada.

This is why Republicans are so against the teaching of history. They prefer to re-write it to fit their lies.

I just have to ask it (can't leave it alone),
is this white woman so filled with White Privilege
that she is actually trying to CO-OPT slavery?

(chuckles bitterly)

not a good look, even for a Rethuglican...

Sorry to tell her a "slave to the grind" is not a real slave.

Don't you mean "re-white" it?

Do you all know where the word Slav(e) comes from?

Maybe that's what she meant.

"History iS a Weapon," by Zinn, AND "Lies My Teacher Told Me," by Loewen are great reads!
