The paragraph didn't mention family separation.
But as soon as I typed this I had to Google the story I partially remembered about a potato sack.
This was embroidered on the sack-

My great grandmother Rose
mother of Ashley gave her this sack when
she was sold at age 9 in South Carolina
it held a tattered dress 3 handfulls of
pecans
a braid of Roses hair.
Told her
It be filled with my Love always
She never saw her again
Ashley is my grandmother
Ruth Middleton
1921

Told in just ten lines, Ruth’s embroidered story offers a brief, powerful glimpse into the brutality of child separation under chattel slavery. Her story also prompts strong emotion: When the pouch, now known simply as “Ashley’s sack,” went on view at Middleton Place, a plantation-turned-museum in South Carolina, in 2011, so many onlookers were brought to tears that curators placed a box of tissues nearby, according to a statement.

the artifact will eventually go on display at the International African American Museum in Charleston, which is slated to open in early 2022.

It is not pretty, yet there should never be a need to bury it unless you want to repeat it in some form or another.

Ashley's Sack, it's heartbreaking to those who still have a heart that beats in their chest.

these simple things yet...
An extra dress when who knows what she'd have when she arrived at her new slaveholders slave quarters. Pecans- physical sustainence on her journey. Emotional, spiritual sustainence with the lock of her mother's hair.

(I have my mom's ashes in a velveteen container from the cremation place But I might have lost the lock of her hair I took from her. sigh. Well, maybe I still have it; 2 moves later.)

and no amount of Lies can ever change that, no matter how many times they are repeated.
Weak-minded people will still believe them, but they are still Lies.
No amount of "Believing" will change that. They are still Lies.
God won't change that, even if you have an official MAGA Trump Bible. They are still Lies.
Lies are always Lies.

I know he’s more manageable when praised but, good god almighty, I hope no one caves to this horror and goes along with the idea that any part of slavery was or is okay. The thought is immoral.

unless they've been taught to hate, and intend to treat people as the Slaves were treated.
Then, yeah, they should feel badly.
We (they) got way out of the lane when this was the topic-of-the-day for the shit-stick shit-stirrers. Make it about "ME!" My FEELINGS!!!
Now, we're WAY off in the high weeds, being "led" by imbeciles.
History CAN BE a Teachable Moment if you're able to listen... and ... think.

This is how we get a moral core.

So yes we should feel bad about our slave history.

We should be getting better at this Morality thing as we go along, having teachable moments everywhere we look.
"Woke" has been deemed weakness, but what is "strong" about being rude and cruel? So much easier to go with one's baser instincts and be an asshole.
Punching down is a really great way to demonstrate one's Manly Masculinity, and imposing one's will on others is a God-given Right if you're big and primitive enough to cow and intimidate people.
Worse still... They're teaching their kids to be like them.
In my seventy-four orbits around the Sun, I grew up in the Sacramento Valley with a a person raised in the Ozarks. White Supremacy was a way of life in my town, casually, where two-thirds of the names in the phone book were some version of Germanic and the three Black families "knew their place, and the myriad Hispanics were nearly invisible. Much progress has been made, and a generation-or-two might make us all Americans and able to share the good things living in Peace could bring.

About the bad things they so.

Parents do not want their children to ever feel uncomfortable.

So we are becoming a nation of sociopaths.

The last thing the GOP wants is prosperity and peace. Happy content healthy educated people are harder to manipulate.

try and push "nice things about Slavery" is an Evil Racist.

TY, she

They hide from the truth, the facts and our history.

and America Needs to Wake Up.

A nightmare that I wish we could all wake up from.

A new day rising would be a balm to our souls.

Thank you, my friend.

Here's to the Rising Up Of Our Souls All Across America 💙

How can we find our way forward if we don't know where we've been? We must right the wrongs of the past to make a sweeter life for everyone going forward.

They can run but the facts are there for everyone to see no matter how hard he wants them hidden.

Slavery steals people's lives for your gain.

because they want to reinstitute it again

The people who championed it and profited from it were also complicit. Many white and white adjacent people don’t have a problem with racism just as those who stood on the sidelines didn’t have a problem with slavery.

Period. I've read original documents written by slaveholders themselves. The truth is far worse than most people know.

That was also a very difficult read. And it can happen again.

them into slavery for 250 years.

so I think with the Federalist Society in control of the U.S. Judiciary, most with bipartisan support in their confirmation votes, we can predict what's coming. Yes?

Can go fuck themselves with a very large cactus up the anus and play Twister while swallowing ground glass.

"Owning" another human being is evil. No other side.
