Reply to comment by goosey65 in Richmond school district to rename Binford, Cary, and Ginter Park for $150k. by Charlesinrichmond

who tf said slavery wasn't horrible? all i said was in 1860 it wasn't widely considered inhumane. the people who lived 150+ years ago don't have our modern moral compass to guide them.

Large factions of society and the world didn’t agree with it- hence the civil war, the abolitionist movement, the fact that even England stopped participating in the slave trade system years before the USA. It’s a myth that people didn’t know slavery wasn’t a fucked practice. People chose profits over humanity and we don’t have to celebrate that or uphold it.
