A clip of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis whitewashing the history of chattel
slavery, abolition and the American Revolution has gone viral online in
recent days, with many people dunking on DeSantis for his idiocy.
But this is no laughing matter.
Speaking at an event Tuesday, the Republican tried to downplay a lawsuit
over his oppressive "Stop WOKE Act," a law designed to severely restrict
educators ability to teach about social ills. DeSantis has railed against
teachers in his state who have sought to educate their students on truths
about racial, gender and sexuality-based inequality. But his rambling,
ahistorical diatribe showed why hes not to be taken seriously on those
matters.
In his remarks, he maligned The 1619 Project, a New York Times
multimedia effort focused on the roots of slavery in virtually all aspects
of American life. White Republicans led by former President Donald Trump
have denounced the project as un-American since its debut in 2019. And
they have decried academic focuses on social inequality, like critical
race theory, just the same.
The Times project is a CRT version of history, DeSantis claimed. He
added, They want to teach our kids that the American Revolution was
fought to protect slavery, which he said, wrongly, was false. (Well get
to that in a moment.)
But DeSantis went even further, claiming that Americas revolution against
Britain was solely responsible for the movement to abolish slavery. No
one had questioned it [slavery] before we decided as Americans that we are
endowed by our creator with unalienable rights and that we are all created
equal, DeSantis said.
He delivered those demonstrably false remarks with all the confidence of a
seventh-grade student bluffing their way through a class presentation.
Everything you just heard is white supremacist garbage thats quite easy
to dispel, which makes the fact that DeSantis is spouting it all the more
sinister. The enslaved people being raped, beaten and worked to death
undoubtedly questioned slavery at the time. Narratives from people
enslaved in America before the Revolutionary War, such as the abolitionist
Olaudah Equiano, prove this.
And the offensively stupid claim that Americas war against Britain was
premised on freedom and justice for all has been refuted by historians for
years.
George Horne, for example, wrote a book called The Counter-Revolution of
1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America,
which focuses on how American colonizers desire to uphold slavery was a
major motivation to fight against Britain, which officially outlawed the
practice. Heres an excerpt from a Democracy Now interview the historian
gave in 2014:
We should understand that July 4th, 1776, in many ways, represents a
counterrevolution. That is to say that what helped to prompt July 4th,
1776, was the perception amongst European settlers on the North American
mainland that London was moving rapidly towards abolition. This perception
was prompted by Somersets case, a case decided in London in June 1772
which seemed to suggest that abolition, which not only was going to be
ratified in London itself, was going to cross the Atlantic and basically
sweep through the mainland, thereby jeopardizing numerous fortunes, not
only based upon slavery, but the slave trade.
The 1772 case Horne referred to is the London-based case that found
chattel slavery was not supported by British common law, a finding that
British-run colonies in would-be America viewed as a threat to their
livelihood. To put a finer point on this: Ron DeSantis is an ahistorical
oaf. He deserves any mockery he receives for this particular diatribe, but
lets not pretend he was merely mistaken here.
As our fearless ReidOut host Joy Reid noted, DeSantis, who is a graduate
of Yale and Harvard, has benefited from a ritzy education. His ignorance
is willful. And if he has his way, that ignorance will consume Floridas
education system.
Bullshit government funded law degree or not, he's the stupidest, most
racist Dago on earth.
