OK, I really just stopped by for a quick read, but really. Really? It was illegal to teach slaves to read and write in many states and they are supposed to have left notes saying how much they enjoyed being owned by other people? The fail is astonishing.

It’s simple enough to understand —- wingnut “thought” requires certain propositions to be true e.g., “civil rights legislation bad”.

Derp amplification in the RW echo chamber produces various corollaries, such as “segregation and Jim Crow beneficial to Blacks”. From there, it is only a small step to “slavery in the US beneficial to Blacks”.

Having divined the Truth, all that remain is to find (i.e., fabricate) evidence in favor and feed this back into the RW echo chamber.
