"slavery built this country"

If you think slavery "built this country," you've got your head up your ass.

As one commenter below the video puts it:

Saying slaves built the country is like saying the gardener built the house.


ADDENDUM: one thing, though, is the "4 million slaves" stat cited in the video. The guy goes on to say that slaves constituted 1% of the population (presumably in the 1800s)... but that would mean the United States (which was not fully the fifty-state USA we know today) had a population of around 400 million back then. In 2023, our current population is close to 330 million. There's something fishy going on... either with the "4 million" stat or with the "1%" stat. The math doesn't work. The other parts of the rebuttal hold water, but not that.

    It seems Orwell's novel 1984 has been come a "how-to" manual for the woke left. That comment nails it!
