Does anyone take her seriously?
Many slaves were able to get jobs right after emancipation. They had already learned crop harvesting skills
Florida has the most robust LIES about African America history than any other state! Whether you like the VP or not, she’s speaking the truth! And the truth can’t die!!😅
Hilarious!
Read the guideline… it says that “…some skills learned ‘could be’ used for personal benefit.” Like when they were freed?!
Kamala Harris' father has slave owning roots!
From 'The Oregonian' Sept. 26, 2020: Harris' parents met at the University of California, Berkeley, in the 1960s as graduate students. In 2018, Donald Harris, a Stanford University emeritus professor of economics, detailed his family’s history in Jamaica in an essay in Jamaica Global Online.
In the essay, which has been updated since first published…the elder Harris did write that his paternal grandmother descended from a slave owner.
The Florida curriculum was written by two BLACK historians one of whom is a descendant of slaves and who criticize Harris for ignoring the historical facts! To say that slaves learned nothing in their experiences – they just toiled – is itself racist bec it denies their inherent worth as human beings! And after slavery, many former slaves had skills that allowed them to integrate into society including becoming farmers themselves and even members of Congress! REMEMBER – IT WAS THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS WHO WERE THE PARTY OF SLAVERY, THE KKK AND JIM CROW!
Remember this is the best person the DNC can come up with.
And somehow they want you to believe she is great at the job.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ironic how a liberal media station has numerous comments arguing against what she was going speaking on this topic. If this was the democratic comments of the US, then the people have spoken, Kamala
Cancel this racist Affirmative Action trash of a holiday
What an utterly Fake, Amoral, Deceitful, and Ingenuine Parasite.
Elevated to her position through Racism, Sexism, Corruption and Bribery.
Unfit and Extremely Underqualified for Leadership in any position.
A National Embarrassment.
Bunch of propaganda
Considering the historical implications, we should just ban any political party that participated in slavery…
Biden's greatest speech to Blacks ⚫️

kick florida and texas out of the us. keep our taxes from going to those states. theyll be all dead from climate change in a decade or two anyway. create a refugee program for those that feel the fascism without proper federal regulation. let them feel the consequences of their delusional beliefs.
DeSantis wants our kids to learn that slavery had benefited side is terrifying.
Republicans ban voting right of Black & Brown communities, ban Black history from school.
Current MAGA Republican Party is a cult worshipping Trump and will destroy our Democracy.
Tank Nation Harris in all her corrupt glory… Leave our kids alone!!!! Governor DeSantis did the right thing…
Do you know how many people are homeless every time I look at a YouTube to see if I can relocate that area that I look at, is impoverished house is falling apart and she’s doing nothing about it.
There were 6 million Jews killed and Christians they don’t teach Catholicism in schools or Judaism why would we start with any other nationality? Including Asian, Middle Eastern, Indian, Kamala Harris is really Jewish she’s pretending to be black so she can get the votes
What does harris mean by us? She is Jewish pretending to be black. She’s probably just trying to get votes
A spoonful of water will save us from the desert sand. Maybe someone will save us from this Florida man.
Wake DeSanctus U P. Vote it out.
florida is a growth
Like she cares about any children in this country of ours… Tell her to stop sending our American money to Mexico with them Rat Cartel's and help our kids… The things them other countries do to women and children is disgusting and one day maybe God will do the same to her family… On the Real… she's a clown 🤡… I will see you soon Kamala and I can't wait 🥾🥾🗑️💯💐🇺🇲🌹🇺🇲
Thank our V P for going down into the den of iniquity that Florida has become and laying it on the line to the Florida fascist leadership that we won’t tolerate their evil deception unchallenged.
It is the ultimate in evil deception for the florida race fascists to affirm that a blacksmith developed his ability as a benefit of slavery rather than 100% by his own initiative and on his own intelligence.
I like how the media tries to make her look intelligent😂
They only need to be teaching the 3 R's for the first 5 years sprinkled with a little science. Harris is not even an average puppet talking head. Hope she is on the 2024 ticket.
Shut your face!
We are buying their “nonsense” over the crazy governor. This IS the Republican Party today. Segregation, slavery, choice on who votes, choice on who controls your body. Not far away from dictatorship.
"slavery is bad", another hot take from Kamala
Can't stand Harris but if that small part is clearly "propaganda" then can only imagine what other BS is in the curriculum.
'They' are so very different I Hope.
Harris thinks that a Man can become a Woman…She shouldn’t lecture anyone on anything.
Tyrone people deserve nothing
Camel😡👊
This lady being so obsessed with race comes of as racist
She is unable to speak about anything! She's ignorant and incompetent. 🤮
As a native Floridian, I can tell you that I don’t vote for the Democratic Party any longer because of people like Kamala Harris. If Kamala Harris came to Florida, to tell us how corrupt Republicans are, it was a poor choice, considering how corrupt she is.
Florida used to be the place to go when you retired but now you want to run from it! But with global warming and republicans that don't believe in it Florida will one day be under water so it's all good.
