Some Simple Truths About Slavery
Derek Hunter
If you’ve ever known anyone who has cheated on someone and got caught, and they’re still with that person, you can see them clench their rear ends when the subject of infidelity comes up when the person they cheated on is in the room. That “Oh, sh*t” moment of realizing that the can of worms could be reopened, and the rest of the night/weekend is on the verge of being ruined. They deserve it, obviously, they cheated. And they will do anything to distract from the subject as quickly as possible. That is how Democrats are when the issues of slavery, racism, and general discrimination come up in any way that is honest and real.
This week, CNN has Jillian Michaels on their worthless panel show, seemingly designed to create viral clips of Scott Jennings barely containing his contempt for everyone else, especially vapid and vacant-eyed host Abby Phillip, behind a smirk holding in a string of laughter and obscenities.
Michaels did something rare, if not unheard of, for cable news these days: she prepared. It confused all the liberals, who’d been railing against the Trump administration for seeking to shave off much of the anti-American hatred left-wingers had curated into the exhibits over the years. “He’s trying to whitewash history, gloss over the horrors of slavery!” was the gist of their whining.
Michaels rightly pointed out that slavery does not encapsulate the American story. It is a part of it, a small part of it, but that’s it. Yet, as she demonstrated, the left has made it and a general “white people bad” attitude the focus of much of the displays at the Smithsonian, no matter the topic.
