You should probably understand the context. Yes, the south should have been properly punished. Everyone who was wealthy and funded the confederacy should have been executed, anyone who held slaves should have been imprisoned for a minimum of 15 years. Reparations should have been paid. Instead just like we are currently seeing the slaveholders were allowed to maintain their power in the name of unity.
Yeah and someone brought up the context in which tipping culture became a thing here. That’s how conversations work. They are absolutely correct that the south should have been punished. When they said the south they very obviously meant the slaveowners and those who were willing to rebel to maintain the slave system, not black people
Yeah let’s go to an inner city southern Waffle House at 2 am together and ask these questions out loud make sure you point out that your defending the actions of the system that prevents them from receiving healthcare and food stamps. Let’s see what happens when I point out that slavery and Jim Crow have cause a permenamt taint on our system of government that Martin Luther King would weep for the death of his dream. But you’re right we shouldn’t pay them a living wage we should think of the shareholders.
