death to the whites.
Edit: came back, didn't think this would blow up the way it did, but it has been hilarious how many bad takes are from people with an @ in their username. This hilarity is why i love HexBear.
White America sees slavery of African people as “that thing that caused the Civil War” and nothing more. Certainly not as the unspeakably evil foundation of the present society that it is (along with indigenous genocide and theft of the land, of course).
The worst is when whites are like “well askshully slavery has always existed everywhere (which is, of course, not even close to being accurate) it’s us white Americans who first ended slavery. So…. you’re welcome.”
Qanon is fueled in part by white peoples underlying anxieties about American chattel slavery and its legacy. They’re terrified of the left (i.e. Black people and allies) taking retributive action against them (i.e. enslaving blonde white children). At the same time, they’ll act blasé and say that slavery happens everywhere, Black people should get over themselves, etc.
