Now they’re trying to teach kids that SLAVERY is worth it for the “experience”

So, look, the racism here is obvious: Florida insists that “enslaved African-Americans learned skills for 'their own personal benefit'” But also, in addition to the racism, do you know what this sounds like? It sounds like “unpaid internships are worth it for the experience.” It sounds like “I don't have an art budget, but you'll be paid in exposure.” It sounds like “you should be grateful that I let you work here.” This is fucked.
