        Wonder why the slave and her owner couldn't come to a compromise.

        I guess they needed John Kelly to negotiate the terms of the compromise!

        Well, that and the annihilation of 90% of the original population. And all the “cargo” that died at sea in horrible circumstances.

        And then there are lynchings of black soldiers after both World Wars. The Tuskeegee syphilis experiments. Japanese internment camps.

        Jim Crow, Redlining, Emmett Till, segregation, The Little Rock 9, and now people like Trayvon Martin.

        It’s painful to look at, but crucial if we want to avoid repeating the same horrors. It also helps to see patterns of systemic oppression.

        So that we don’t end up at the new “color-blind” racism and think everything is fine now.

        Has a "whining voice". We were cattle, children, beasts of burden. We're not going back to those times. Racism is woven into our fabric #usa

        This, as part of our history, it just sad. Why anyone would use slavery and civil war talking points for political purposes is beyond me.

        General Kelly would be "okay" with this because it was the law of the land back then.

        Weird timing for this tweet. Almost like you’re subtweeting the Side Eyed Hillbilly and Krazy Kelly.

        Interesting how the 'owner' offered three times as much in Ohio for her return.
