Florida in two years:
"Yes, the Holocaust death marches were horrible...BUT...it was good cardio."
😂
Don’t even joke about that. There are too many ignorant people who don’t get the fact that you are kidding. Carol O’Connor quit the sitcom “ All in the Family “of the late 70’s and 80’s because some people didn’t get the fact that Archie bunker was a racist and the butt if the jokes. They thought Archie was the hero.
@@diggee172 It was more of an analogy than a joke. They are literally, right now, talking about the upsides to the American Slave trade.
And it was a positive thing that so many American service members were killed at Pearl Harbor cause the pretty memorial dedicated to them draws so many tourist dollars every year.
No one ever considers how much the nazi's saved on jewish peoples monthly grocery bills.
"I didn't do it." "I wasn't involved with it." Ahhh! That sterling Desantis leadership on full display! He's such a LOSER. It warms my heart!
Keep in mind that he was the one that signed it into law and bragged about it for weeks.🤣🤣🤣
Republican scholars mean they can read and write and they married outside of their family. I am guessing not one person of color amongst these "scholars".
Hes the one who appointed the people that made this rule.
Dodging accountability is straight out of chump's playbook...
@@rooster1012 His only recourse now, after putting himself in this stupid box, is to OWN IT. If he admitted: "Yes, I'm a racist and I have racist policies," he'd get far more respect from MAGA.
DeSantis looks at slavery as an apprentice program.
Idiot!
He’s the type of kid who fell asleep in history class back in middle school.
Trump DeSantis George Santos. The GOP is a mess.
Repubs don’t care about morals or values. They do care about banning books though
It makes me SICK. I would pull my children out of that school system

@michikosmith3262
Ron is clearly a racist in disguise. He doesn’t give a damn about the kids who live in Florida. And parents have to be quite naive to think otherwise. All he cares about is power and imitating Trump.
DeSantis: I am not racist. It's the people who I put in charge who are doing exactly what I told them to do. My hands are tied even though I could remove them from their position.
Stop whining, get ready for president DeSantis
@@tonypowder3506 Conspiracy believers do not care about facts, truth, evidence nor reality. If they did, there would be no flat-Earthers.
Keep that tin foil hat on to protect you from those Jew controlled space lasers forcing you to walk off the edge of your flat Earth.
He's done.
@@slymcfly123 who biden? Yea i know right biden can't even form a coherent sentence anymore, it's sad really.
@@tonypowder3506 Which side of the GOP are you on? The deeply ignorant or purposely misguided? Y’all lost in 2020 and 2022 lol 2024 will be lovely as well blue wave coming through to wash away the racist like you and the GOP
He will become a dictator--that's for sure.
Based on what evidence?
That’s his goal, in Florida maybe 🤔, not up north which fought to abolish slavery.
@@JimEdmiston Only dictators ban books, change ugly history.
What needs to be taught are all the contributions Afr-Ams made to the building of this country, literally and every other way. There are SO many historical figures who are never acknowledged - inventors, physicians, scientists, writers, statesmen - and who kids never hear about. I went to a suburban, all-white Catholic girls' high school in the 70s, and because of an enlightened English teacher, was introduced to the work of WEB DuBois, Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, and others, all exquisite writers. I will always be grateful to her.
Margaret Walker’s Jubillee should be required reading.
I like your comment however, the first slaves that came over here were only Africans not American, and after slavery or after years of slaves being born on American soil they are no longer African-Americans especially now in 2023 their just black Americans.
You are absolutely correct. However, we still have a holes like Tommy, Tubberville, senator of Alabama living in Florida, stating that African-Americans can’t read.
@Perks5 everyone was a slave, it's not unique to black people.
@t-reid3716 look at world history though. Poles were big time slaves, the Slavic is where it was origined, the Irish. I can go on and how many interracial relationships are slave based against the black person now? If anything the black one makes the white his or her slave. Black slaves cost more back then and even today in sports and don't have much to show for it. Theyve made lots of money but that's all I can think of. They been profited off the most but historically everyone's been bad slaves and still are today too who are non black and the others get paid less and make more of it, make the right decisions and many black people complain about that.
Every time a Republican speaks, they prove just how lost the Nazi, I mean MAGA, I mean republican party truly is. We should be thanking them. Keep it up, GOP!
Disclaimer and Trigger warning: This comment contains truth and common sense. These values have been found to break what ever MAGA cultists use to think with.
Republican scholars mean they can read and write and they married outside of their family. I am guessing not one person of color amongst these "scholars".
Nazi ? Trump has a Jewish family and isreal loves Trump so much they named a street after him .meanwhile democrats are being forced to apologize for anti Semitic comments.
But hey don't let facts get in the way of your deranged outrage
😂 Study history democrats are a k k k party Obama and his buddy, Joe Biden are democrats.
Hahaaaa get some new material I'm going to be guessing that you're a white liberal
Bot account alert
Desantis will attempt to reintroduce segregation before he is done.
Desantis will say segregation is good cause you can't be racist if you don't know other races exist.
Racism is a psychological disease which requires medical intervention
Ron DeSantis it only gets worse. Seek help.
He already has
Lol. Lmao. This is just paving the way so your kids can get "skills" through "unpaid work programs "
There may be more accuracy than joke in that
Republican scholars mean they can read and write and they married outside of their family. I am guessing not one person of color amongst these "scholars".
So hes stating that slavery was really just a job program. Then he states that its all very "factual". This is without a doubt the most absurd thing that I have heard in years. And of course its coming from Florida and him.
He said no such thing. You said it.
You haven't been to Ohio have you? I left to get away from the Liars thieves and whores. You can't build a world out of fantasies, it crumbles when confronted with reality.
@@ybrix101 He just said it's all very factual in the very video lol.
@@lamontwaters510 "slavery was really just a job program". Despite what you want to hear, yjr governor said no such thing.
@@ybrix101 He directly stated that slaves "parlayed" skills learned while enslaved to a career such as being a blacksmith. HE SAID THAT those are his exact words. What do you think that means? What does that sound like to you? It's a friggin job program. The governor of one of the largest states in the US and someone running for president of the United States of America said that. Let that sink in.
Now in paperback: Slavery:The hidden benefits - whitewash edition (setting aside the rape, torture, oppression and encampment parts)
let’s not forget the lucky born into miscegenation. If their freedom was purchased….( the biggest if of all)
Who are these scholars who came up with this curriculum? We need names and credentials. They are nuts.
The "scholars" who wrote this monstrosity are just randos who listen to Alex Jones and Joe Rogan for research.
They were appointed by him
Oh im going to guess its one source, that black author that justifies slavery as awesome.... i forget his name.. Thomas Sowell i think.
Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, and Uncle Ruckus are the authors of this curriculum.
Actually no..Widely respected University History Scholars..You been played..probably not the first time..
The entire Florida Ed and "Health" Board needs to be jailed and sued for genocidal anti transgender and anti human policies.
I disagree with you entirely. Whether it is a good idea medically or not, trans-identified adults should be able legally to pursue the medical treatments and cosmetic surgery that they want. But as at least 80% to 90% of trans-identified children and adolescents will resolve their gender incongruence in early adulthood, and because there is no reliable way to know which of those children will “desist” and which will “persist” in transgender identification, pediatric gender transition care is a very bad idea. The health risks are grave, and only a legal adult should be allowed to decide to take those risks on.
You don't outgrow transness just like you don't outgrow autism. Such TERF statistics claiming "grave consequences" over nonsurgical care to prevent painful and permanent body changes, must be same people who see transness as innately tragic and a phase like autism.
Does he ever put in an honest days work for Florida?
More so than biden the mental incompetent
No
The only time he put in a full day's work is when he was tap dancing in his white boots😮
@@bucdaddy5644 p/doh supporter
@@targgthewise2892 so are you a fascist supporter? Not me
Maybe folk should remember that the DeSantis clan is from the country that invented fascism.
Yup Italy Benito
My son and daughter will be told to walk out on those classes
Better yet, stay in there an argue with the teacher. I’m so proud of my son when he did exactly that with one of these bigot teachers trying to praise slavery.
Proudly woke (alert and knowledgeable) American 👊
Better than sleeping
enslaved ppl had skills and contributions to offer their birthplaces, which had economies too. it is disingenuous and gaslighting to frame this story from a perspective of the western world as the birthplace and summit of education. every society in every part of the world adapted, innovated to best survive the places where they lived. the skills slaves learned were only put to practical use for the benefit of their oppressors- as 'property,' they couldn't open a small business to apply their new trades. responsible media should take a stance on facts and nuance.
This! Imagine being ripped from your home, from everyone you love, brought to a land across the ocean and forced to work as hard as you can for the people who kidnapped you!
You took the words out of my mouth. Slaves had they own life which included family, skills, some was Kings, Queens and to lose everything and everyone their loved to be kidnapped, throw of the slave ship, sold, raped by slave owner bcz he had his kinks, made to have multiple children only for your child to be stolen in the middle of the night as gator bait. Not even the biggest eraser can remove our history
@@democracylives8448 The people who kidnapped them were other black tribes..grown wealthy from the slave trade.
@@democracylives8448 Why do you assume that's not what they are teaching?
@@seewulf2385 Africa has practiced slavery for thousands of years. The US practiced it for less than a century. The majority of slaves from the transatlantic slave trade went to Latin America or the Middle East, most people aren't even aware of that.
"These were scholars who put that together" Ok Ron, what kind of scholars? African American scholars? Scholars of color? Or white scholars? hmmm
Republican scholars mean they can read and write and they married outside of their family. I am guessing not one person of color amongst these "scholars".
Scholars from the University of KKK.
Why don't you read and find out. ..Hmmmmm?
@@seewulf2385 i did. they’re all white or hispanic. and it was a rhetorical question genius.
@@jasminegailliard5735 Genius...you have been misinformed or you're lying..Nada surprise.. They are calling out ka-malla for her BS..
DeSatan
black people were the first people on da world when god created da world✌️👍💯
Bart DeSantis Simpson "I didn't do it!"
Widespread mis-information of American history is a threat to national security.
Noooo waaay... DeSatan is acting like the devil instead of a decent man? Darn... who would of thought?
He’s depriving children of a proper education b/c he’s personally offended by history (😂). He also banned lots of books, that traumatized him because he’s weak minded. But when kids re facing real issues like bullying, he turns the other corner.
People who vote and support this clown clearly don’t give a damn about their child’s well-being.
This is despicable, deceitful and disgusting!!! It makes me sick to my stomach how this is ALL BEING DONE FOR POLITICAL REASONS!!!!!
Well sadly we can't expect much from our current vice-president. She has yet to visit any problematic part of our border despite for the border czar for years now. All that the Democrats can do is to look for a boogeyman and play the race card.
Good for you.. for calling out ka-malla and her yellow school bus..significant..over the passage of time..
There was an Asian woman in the background for DeSatis. How can you be there and Not being ashamed of yourself for supporting this RACIST policy? Shane on FL, DeMo-Ron and the ppl behind this. 🤬
Ebonics ain't your friend.
Ron, Karma is going to catch up to you, and you can’t runaway from it.
Especially in those white boots of his.
I cant wait when they include lessons on the
holocaust that says that imprisoned Jews
learned skills that assisted them in their lives
after the holocaust.
work sets you free - dachau.
Just leave politics
This guy makes you sick on the stomach.
Is there a limit to DeSantis's shamelessness?
Nope
Stupidity doesn’t have a limit.
My grandpa fled Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, on his deathbed the last thing he told me was “Florida under DeSantis is worse”. Thank about that!
Hey, wRONg DuhSantis. You look very tired. Getting tired of losing yet ?
Lets not forget that slave owners were paid "reparations " for lost PROPERTY, after the war.
These are the points that really need to be discussed. We are aware of how capable and historic the black contribution is to America, but these points of white history never get talked about and perhaps this is the history that should be on display so that the youth can determine what changes and contribution they want to make in their future with ALL things considered.
Basically saying that if you were kidnapped let’s talk about the positive stuff you learned while being kidnapped, and Florida loves this dude lol
Not anymore he's f things up for everyone in Florida
How is this clown still in office is beyond me. I’m glad I don’t live in this state anymore.
Parents please teach your kids the truth. You can’t allow teachers to parent your kids. With lies
Exactly! Who would have ever thought that twenty years go, some "educators" in the future would say there are more than two genders.
Parents, especially racist Karen ones, don’t like the truth. The truth offends them. So they prefer to brainwash their kids with lies.
The media should ask black republicans, like Candace Owens, Tim Scott, and Larry Elder, about the Florida Board of Education new curriculums that slaves gained life skills from picking cotton.
I don’t see anyone saying they learned nothing
It’s not like DeSantis is dismissing slavery. Is someone on the other side seriously going to take the position that the slaves already had all those skills before coming to America?
Why can’t we just agree on the facts?
@JimEdmiston I see you are not very educated on the matter. Try looking it up instead of asking dilly rhetorical questions.
@JimEdmiston Genius, he is saying just that and YES if you know history ENSLAVED individuals had their own skill sets. Without their skills this country would have never gotten rich off tobacco, rice, cotton and sugar. We could be here forever talking about the culture influences, inventions, child birthing knowledge, etc.. Please go read a real history book!
They will tell you they love it as long as they can be the Yes boss man lol
@@JimEdmistono hes not dismissing it, youre right.
He's justifying it, minimizing it to a degree that its nearly impossible to comprehend, ignoring and attempting to erase its effects and ongoing affects and he tops it off with a hint of "hey, maybe you didnt have it that bad black people.. eh? Eh?".
Its almost identical to old british propaganda when they were trying to talk South Africa into not being a free Nation.
Liar! Liar!
No apologies to the prisoners of concentration camps. BECAUSE the ones who survived learned survival skills, right? So all is neat and dandy! Right??
This man really don’t want to be president lol
*doesn’t
@@JimEdmiston Thank you Earth’s hall monitor
@@JimEdmiston
You do realize that's dialect right? In this case, for this dialect, you can use don't. Thank me for the lesson later.
FL won’t be responding.
They have no guts defending this ridiculous curriculum!
Such an ignorant statement to make, even for RD. Sad.
The idiocy! VOTE THEM OUT!! 😒
I agree he’s an idiot.
Scholars? Was it a diverse group of scholars? If it wasn't,... where all think alike, no one thinks very much.
About as diverse as the group standing behind Ron in this video
You can't fantasize about the past and make it so. Teach history and all other subjects truthfully, a world of fantasies crumbles when confronted with truth. Tell that to your leader, Trump
Cool..could you get word to the prez that his plan for a choo-choo-train over the Indian Ocean is pretty much impossible...Crumbled fantasies..but I just don't have the heart..You do it...oh historicull truth teller.
Personal benefit refers to the direct advantage or profit that an individual gains from their actions or decisions. This might include financial gains, increased social standing, improved skills, or greater knowledge. It's the advantage one gets that enhances their personal circumstances or capacities in some way.
When it comes to the question of slaves, it is essential to clarify that slavery was a cruel and dehumanizing institution where people were treated as property and forced to work without proper compensation or basic human rights. Here's a brief explanation regarding the question of personal benefits for slaves:
Slaves did not enjoy personal benefits:
Dehumanization: Slaves were not considered humans but were viewed as property or commodities. This view denied them the opportunity to enjoy basic human rights, let alone personal benefits.
No Freedom: Slaves did not have the freedom to make choices that could lead to their personal benefit. They were not allowed to make decisions about their life, work, or leisure, thus denying them the possibility of pursuing personal gains.
Economic Exploitation: Slaves did not receive any wages for their hard labor. They were exploited for economic benefits that went to their masters, not to them. This meant they were denied financial gains that could contribute to their personal benefit.
Lack of Education: Most slaves were not provided with education, which could potentially contribute to personal benefits. Education offers individuals the chance to improve their skills and knowledge, which can lead to personal and economic growth. This opportunity was typically denied to slaves.
Physical and Psychological Abuse: Slaves often suffered physical and psychological abuse, which hindered their well-being and personal development. The constant fear and torment denied them mental peace and personal growth, thereby negating any chance for personal benefit.
While slaves may have found ways to create moments of joy, resilience, or resistance within their enslaved conditions, these should not be mistaken for the typical "personal benefits" enjoyed by free individuals. Slavery was a brutal institution that systematically and structurally denied enslaved people the rights and opportunities that could lead to personal benefits.
And if you want to say that those slaves learned valuable skills that allowed them to thrive, uh, the average black household doesn't even have HALF the wealth that a white family does. So much for learning "valuable skills to build wealth" which the whites stole from us as well and never allowed us to have higher paying jobs until the jim crow era finally ended in the 80s.
In 60 years, from 1801 to 1862, the amount of cotton picked daily by slaves increased 400% with NO technological improvements, solely by increases in quotas enforced by the whip.
so production and economics is all that matters? companies use child slave labor and make billions in profits. does that make it ok?
“I WASNT INVOLVED”??? is this guy effing serious????
5:57 Stop gaslighting Florida. To be gaslight while insulting. They really decided to multitask this one 😑
More likely "Stop Coke" DeSantis Act.
Since freed hundred of thousands of ex-slaves were not even citizens of the u.s. until the 14th amendment years later how were to 'parley' any skills into so-called jobs. The white population of course were not too happy with new competition for jobs that they enjoyed exclusively prior to emancipation. Where did these 'educators' get the degrees in history? High schoolers need to start their american history (because black history is actually white history as well) start with Ken Burn's CIVIL WAR documentary. The positive parts of black history included small groups of brave and valiant white people working the underground in the anti slavery movement and giving much support and comfort as best they could at great risk defying the racist laws against ex-slaves.
It's this belief that you can change the world through simple dialog. The consequences of not addressing education is what you see today. People dressing up like authorities while not once contributing a single dime is discusting.
*disgusting
What next did jewish people get murdered in the holocaust for the righteous german cause? I mean come on, i can make that reference im part jewish in my Bloodline.
Sure Ron...this will get you elected🤣
Harriet Tubman and Harriet Beecher Stowe beg to differ.
Sick and disgusting. So tired of racists politicians.
This sentence would be the last man I would vote 444 any office he couldn't even run for school office at a school ground it's something wrong with Trump something wrong with the republican party because they got desperate when you lie and cheat you become something else and the republican party is something else
Please help me, make this make since to me, that slavery is a good thing. The evil, hate, murder, rape, molestation, mutilation, castration, and the horrific unspeakable evil done to Black men, women, and children. The horrific evil that caused unnecessary untimely deaths of Black people, made in the image of God, murdered, and hanging from trees.
That's fine. Let's add to that! 😊.. I don't want to hear a word about 911, because we don't want Middle Eastern children growing up feeling bad about themselves.. Why stop their? I also do not want to hear about anything tragic that happened in Germany during the late 1930s to mid-1940s, because we don't want German children growing up feeling bad about themselves.
Robust standards not written by any people who are part of the community that is being taught. Is DumbSantis serious?
I feel embarrassed I live in Florida right now...but luckily I can educate my kid outside of school...if anyone has book recommendations on black history for a 12 year old I'd appreciate it
When I was 9, my parents made the best decision of their life…..to move from Florida to California. I didn’t get it at the time, but best believe I do now. Sure Fl is nice for having Disneyworld, universal studios, and the beaches.
@@amylee8969 I'm grateful I'm from Chicago my son went to the best school there that gave him the foundation to know that he is dealing with some quackery here. In Chicago it was Indigenous People's Day. They learned what really happened. Here in Florida they're literally told the pilgrims and Indians had thanksgiving dinner! Luckily my kid knew that was not true.
How about Florida's gator bait about black children use for bait to catch alligators That's History
He is a small minded frightened man therefore dangerous
Who ever came up with this very nuts
DeSatan 😂
ANY educator teaching my kids this crap would be doing so AT THEIR OWN RISK! Their safety would be an issue. This is dangerous, and, it needs to be stopped NOW.
Benefits, if any, were thoroughly outweighed by disadvantages of the institution of slavery.
but, when they speak of the personalitys of such a people, and you know of the reasons they still keep, who would ever allow them to even live
Need to know who these "scholars" are lol.
So the people who ALWAYS tout the importance of freedom, want to talk about the “benefits” of not being free…..in the same country????
I just think the screaming and yelling and acting like everyone not black is to blame and demanding money is just really really terrible and makes people not want to participate
What can't the media ever tell the full truth
Im sorry but y'all thought he was going to stop with transgenders? Yall think he was gonna stop with women and Chinese people? We literally let this man in to office and now we want to act surprised??? Not all of us did but I blame the people who supported his ass. And we BETTER not let him in the White House or we can kiss democracy of any kind goodbye.
ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD FACES $1.8M LAWSUIT FROM FAMILY OF SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENT
The Orange County School Board is in hot water as it faces a lawsuit for $1.8 million from the mother of a special needs child due to a failure to provide necessary accommodations during virtual learning in 2020. The Florida Department of Education found the school district was in violation of their obligations. The district appealed this decision to the Department of Administrative Hearings and the 5th District Court of Appeals but ultimately lost the case. As a result, the Parnes family removed their daughter from public school and enrolled her in a private school this year. This lawsuit is not just about financial freedom, but also advocating for other children with disabilities who may not have their necessary accommodations met during virtual learning. From WESH 2 News Orlando.
Scared
Well what if I took Ron Desantis child sold him to some trafficers in asia, am sure he can learn life skills that can be beneficial and also show resilience through such a rough period in his life.
I'm sorry I agree with the governor on this one black people should be teaching black kids their own history❤
desantis is a monster
Crazy how people ACTUALLY defend this guy.
the issue is his mother, his mom had that type of personality, and what would come out of her womb would be just as mentally ill as her
They need to teach that all ethics have been in slavery
My kids teacher in Broward made my daughter say she loved a black woman on black history month. I think its a problem that the delievery of all this is so stupid and untimely. We are going through a pandemic and peple are barely passing math and reading and people dont feel like dealing with ANOTHER issue. I think we need to make it a reasonable sell instead of you all are racist pigs and we are coming for you. Most of us are not involved. Also many of us have fought for freedom. Its just really bad timing
2:28 COLLEGE CHANGE EVERY YEAR......STUDENTS FOOT THE MARKET
This educated man explained EVERYTHING down to the least common denominator, without whitewashing the horrors of slavery. Florida needs his knowledge and wisdom!!❤
Some people say black people are lazy. No way, black people built this country, we owe them.
Preach and the brown individuals too!
Hey ABC! Don't forget bothism by reminding your viewers that the Democrats opposed Lincoln.
He went before the board, "they signed!!
What is the problem if a student want to learn Black History that is their choice. If not take another class. I wonder why this bother my Governor so much. You people in Fl seat on your hind parts in Fl and never push back on anything the Gov. does. I don't disagree on everything he does but some of this stuff is ridiculous. Wake up out of your comma Florida
DID SHE ASK WAS IT TRUE??? REALLY😮😮😮😮😮😢
Is the movie "Mississippi burning"about democrats?
No doubt, that DeSantis laughed as he watched Guantanamo prisoners tortured. But I agree with him - he is not "WOKE;" he is just "WACK."
Funny thing is how Disney history is in Florida under DeSantis.
No the real funny thing is in his ignorant attempt to fight Disney, he ended up accidently giving them more power than the city of Orlando.
We cant let history go backwards..im sorry..not with desantis..too many gains has been fought for..died for..and true history is supposed to be and better be uncomfortable. Slavery was not a skills training program..it was up to the owner to grant freedom or keep his slave in bondage..skills didnt matter. And..free blacks were often kidnapped into the slave states..skills didnt matter. True stuff still need to be taught..im sorry if it aint a pretty picture..it should be taught so that black slavery in america will never happen again or sneakily be thrust upon us again.
The Daughters of the Confederate would be Proud!😒
Workers come on lady I hate deshambles.
But calling us workers is no better.
0:18 Y CHANGE LAID TRUTHS......THEY SHOULD GO BACK & CHANGE THE CONSTITUCIÓN......AMEND IS AKIN 2 BEND

When he came for the trans people, everyone was clapping for this man. All i heard was yeah this yeah that, now he is upsetting others with his rhetoric, now people cant stand him. This is your guy until 2026 enjoy him Florida
DeSantis followers You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Hatred stirs up strife.
