Senator Mike BraunGeverifieerd account

Why are you trying to erase slavery from America’s history?

says the senator from a sundown town. Maybe work on some real issues instead of creating controversies where none exist.

Senator, did you know that even though the Northwest Ordinance (setting out the requirements for OH, IN IL, MI and WI to become states) forbid slavery, IN Terr Gov Wm H Harrison and others kept Africans in bondage in the Capitol Vincennes? Maybe Hoosiers should learn that.

Enslaving people was, and always will be evil. Evil. Denying that “opportunities” built by enslaved people were solely for the benefits of white “masters” is evil. Continuing to deny the facts of slavery and its consequences in society is evil. #VoteOutBraun2024

Slavery was evil.

Senator, did you know that the first female millionaire was Madame CJ Walker in Indy, with her cosmetics manufacturing giving black women opportunity and spurring development in the city. Maybe that should be taught?

Senator, did you know that IN was one of the most Klan-controlled states in 1920s US, eventually ending up controlling the Gov until scandal made them fall? That's a story of terror against blacks and Catholics that should be told to Hoosier students.

So, in your view, slavery was just fine. Nothing bad about it at all. Euopean settlers had a divine right to murder native Americans and steal their land. And we need to make sure our children never hear anything that might make them doubt those two views.

You do not represent me at all.
