ok, so michael "just go back to reviewing movies already you big blow-hole" medved decided to write a column trying to address what he believes are liberal falsehoods (read: the truth) regarding slavery. as if that wasn't scary enough in the abstract, he manages to outdo even his own inner racial doucebaggery with these assertions:
SLAVERY EXISTED ONLY BRIEFLY, AND IN LIMITED LOCALES, IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC – INVOLVING ONLY A TINY PERCENTAGE OF THE ANCESTORS OF TODAY’S AMERICANS.
WHILE AMERICA DESERVES NO UNIQUE BLAME FOR THE EXISTENCE OF SLAVERY, THE UNITED STATES MERITS SPECIAL CREDIT FOR ITS RAPID ABOLITION
and extra doucebaggery points for this one:
THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT TODAY’S AFRICAN-AMERICANS WOULD BE BETTER OFF IF THEIR ANCESTORS HAD REMAINED BEHIND IN AFRICA
briefly? rapid abolition? better off not enslaved? wow, this is a true lasagna of right-wing awful. layers and layers...i can't wait to see the doucebaggery of his inevitable sequel: how smallpox actually helped native americans and how much better off they were thanks to the Dawes Act.
