Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) denied that the Florida curriculum standards portray slaves as having “benefit[ted]” from the institution of slavery in an exclusive interview with NBC News Correspondent Dasha Burns. “If this was a different state and the governor wasn’t running for president, no one would have said anything about that,” DeSantis said.

He knows what he is doing. He is doing this to try to lessen the blow. Naturally if you enslave some one and make them do a job they will learn skills. Hes doing this to make ppl les empathetic to what slavery really was.
Tell you the truth, I don’t know why is a governor I don’t know why he is even running anybody that believes that slaves got benefits they do not deserve to run for office or be anywhere near any office making any decisions
I do not live in Florida and I am glad I do not have to teach there. I read the "entire" Florida Social Studies Standards document from K-12. In addition to the utter nonsense it has about slavery, the standards for teaching the history of the Seminole Nation are extremely questionable. I doubt Ron has even read the document. He was mouthing off about the 3rd Trump indictment as being political, but "Oops, Ron!", he actually admitted out loud that he had not read the document. I have, plus every succeeding document on both Federal cases that I can get my hands on. Hush Ron, just hush!!!!
DeSantis is the BEST thing that has ever happened to FLORIDA!!!!!!!
As a native of Florida, I can't tell you that Florida is in the GREATEST shape it has ever been! Those who don't like it can move to another state to live in. The beauty of the United States!
We all know DeSatan is a big POS, he doesn't know anything about history or education. This individual needs to be removed from office with all the craziness and division he has done in Florida
Typical narcissistic psychopaths…harm people and then claim they deserve or benefitted from it. Anything to avoid facing how evil, violent, awful, disgusting, barbaric, cruel, and despicable their ancestors were.
When his Governorship comes to an end it would be interesting to see if he is ever elected to any public office again, The guy is a shameless atrocity denier.
NBC is a grotesquely corrupt and complicit propaganda outlet that isn't representative of ethical and responsible Americans
DeSantis vision is no different from a slave master over his slaves
Ron DeSantos use to advise the U.S. Navy Seals on how much urine to put in the drug test cups while he watch them pee 😂
He was very used to watching them peepee
Dasha Burns did a great job interviewing Governor DeSantis.
Florida wants to turn the state in my opinion white only, or majority. With the state making Asians, Middle Easterners, Hispanics and Blacks from coming, and trying to drive away the ones that are there because of their ridiculous laws. Come on Florida, people are now finding out what kind of state you are, with the laws you changed clearly points towards people of color. I guess other states will follow. They say history repeats itself, going back to the 1800's.
Racist 🗑️
So abortion bad, slavery good. NEXT!
DeSantis is such a prehistoric, circa 1860s southern redneck dinosaur! No wonder he eats pudding cups with his fingers, like they did back then, when they had no other choice.
So she concedes that the AP courses teach the same exact thing but continues to call Florida’s curriculum racist because…why?
Desantis is a treder and a liar.
Wonder is Florida is aware of the multitude of new laws citizens are facing?
Boo!
Destupid will never be President
Nothing new coming out the mouth of a white racist….Yup I marched for civil rights in the 60s and 70s. Thought America was making progress but unfortunately racism is taught at home so now we see so many new racist in America….
DeSantis quick to find his form. From Trump lap dop, running for Governor Florida, to where he is now. A LOT of confidence. He a lot better choice than Trump for 2024. People worry. DeSantis win. Pardon Trump. They like him more. They vote Trump. So many possible outcomes, with one surety, Trump getting time in prison. DeSantis is not the ONE. He's the NEXT one, if you're a republican. Someone need to tell Trump. He not winning against these charges.
Dasha Burns thinks it's okay to teach how slaves learned skills. She's a disgusting racist.
White House logs reveal now that hunter Biden business partner Met with Joe Biden 36 times at the White House. But you would have to watch Fox News or News Max to know that. the mainstream news media is covering this all up.
This reporter and others like her Know Joe Biden is destroying this country and families, including her own. But still, she will put that paycheck ahead of that.
Wow DeSantis is a real human being. A change from Trump or Biden.
This man is not well.
"Reparations Now" #B1 #noreparationsnovote2024
Newblackmedia is were you get the real news and issues that mattter to Black American.
These idiots took 20 words out of a 200 page document, and did their best to twist and totally take those words out of context. The only thing more disgusting are the simpletons passing judgement on something they havent even bothered to read.
My gawd this man’s voice. I can’t.
Poor white people,
that did not own slaves,
killed poor white people,
that did not own slaves,
so poor black slaves could be free.
i wish Rhonda Santis' mother would've had an abortion.
Racist Ron hiding Florida's first place of slavery in nation & Florida's leader in human trafficking today.
This Women Ms Burns is an Amazing Interviewer who held them accountable!! 💯
Why can’t people see DeSantis is a RACIST and COWARD!!
