A topic, sure. Most people were busy trying to make a living. No machines making everything easier back then. Work was often backbreaking. And took longer. Sun up to sundown. College was for elites. But as I pointed out when machines started coming along that could do the work of 30 men it was much more a topic.
You said people didn’t object to slavery back in the good old days. You wrote it as if white people were the only people. Sorry if pointing out that black people objected to slavery makes you mad.
What exactly is contradictory?
Again you try to frame things in a way to suggest racism. You can't discuss how things actually were. I've already pointed out there were slave rebellions. Nat Turner's probably the biggest outside of Haiti. You need to realize that both blacks and whites were born into that system. People thought it was perfectly natural to own slaves. It wasn't like a bunch of fat old white guys were smoking stogies in a back room plotting to keep slavery going. Laughing how they got one over on the darkies. It just was what it was and it took time to convince people otherwise.
It is an objective fact.
Racism is not secret and never has been. Whenever black people exercise political power, a lot of Americans feel threatened by that, accuse black people of violence, of mob rule, of cheating and they pass laws specifically to limit or combat that political power. This is done legally and quite out in the open.
Human beings will justify anything, and your whole post was a justification. The question remains why aren't the police upset with Chauvin's conviction? most elected republicans aren't upset with Chauvin's conviction either. But republican media, pundits and many voters are outraged by his conviction. I don't think that's because republicans care more about protecting cops from unfair convictions than the police care about protecting cops from unfair convictions. I think its because for many republican voters, the conviction of Chauvin is evidence of black political power and this power makes republican voters feel threatened.
I doubt it took much convincing for black people to object to being owned like property.
None of his charges require intent. They require reckless disregard to life.
None of the three charges carry intent to murder. Ttku...

Yet, you voted for the guy they control?smh
I think a lot republicans are just fascists and take offense to agents of the state being held accountable. They want the state to have the freedom to kill citizens.
The DC seditionist had to go.
I don't think that's it. I think they see state violence to control and constrain black Americans as necessary and good for the health of American society. I think for republicans police violence is necessary to control what they see as the violent and dangerous black race.
I think on policy the average republican voter is very reasonable. I am being serious. What radicalizes republicans is that they see other Americans as a threat to America. so they are terrified by those Americans having political power. This is the thing that warps republican voters policy preferences they want the government to hurt or limit those Americans they hate and fear.
