Conservative Washington state columnist Adele Ferguson promotes school vouchers, defends slavery: “The pony hidden in slavery is the fact that it was the ticket to America for black people.”
Yeah, what a ticket! Nevermind most of the people crammed into the boat died before they even got to North America. Or that folks were beaten to death and or raped by their masters when they got to America. Or that they were enslaved for centuries. Or that it took another century after they were freed to sit in the same schools, drink from the same fountains, wait at the same bus stops, eat at the same lunch counters, etc. as white people. And I won't even get into police brutality, racial profiling, differing employment opportunities etc. Those lucky duckies!
