Were they raped, separated from their families at any time for any reason, thrown overboard in the Atlantic because they were pregnant, hung, burned, breastfed the children of oppressors only to be labeled dangerous when the emancipation proclamation was signed too? Cool story bro.

Pretty efficient system of transplanting people across oceans to make their production of cotton, tobacco and sugar efficient for generations. The pretty efficient to call the same people they raped, killed, child molested dangerous when that brutal practice ended creating the highest levels of incarceration in the world for shit like selling weed and drugs that were brought into the country by the heirs of their oppressors. That’s some efficacy right there, be proud and tell your kids how smart great grandma and grandpa were! Or just vote to ban the books, either way.

There aren’t any so you can just go on being racist and never asking yourself why. It’s your life bud!
