The idea that slaves learned skills that proved useful after emancipation is a silly thing to get this heated up over.
If you *really* want to pss off a Democrat, remind them how much better off the descendants of slaves are for their having been slaves, because it's obviously better to be in the USA than Africa.
I pray you are right that the group that likes being lied to is small. I try to have conversations with people often who believe the lies on the left - people who I've known for years that are well educated and I would have believed at one time would want to know the truth, but are sticking to the narrative no matter how much evidence I present, no matter how much logic I offer. It's baffling to say the least, but I will continue to keep trying.
