Unbelievable
Sooo… they did benefit from slavery, and also didn’t benefit from slavery? He said both things in the same breath…
Obviously slavery is purely wrong.
Doublethink is a requirement to be a Fox News host.
I guess there’s a Tucker Carlson sized hole of hatred that the other anchors are clamoring to fill

Funny, that’s actually the argument most often heard in Germany when people want to bring back mandatory military/civil service. Yes, it’s slavery, but it’ll teach you stuff!
What personal benefits do these people think slaves had/have?
