I mean, we did keep it on life support for several centuries.

Today is a good day to remember: Christianity is the faith and America is the place slavery came to die

This is like saying Germany is the place Hitler came to die.

This is the problem with Elon's checkmark system where anybody can impersonate an actual US Senator and post garbage like this and people will think it's actually coming from... wait. https://t.co/Y943lyRmGv

Every mainstream Christian denomination supported, or at minimum accepted, slavery.

The only religions that consistently opposed it were the Quakers (not accepted as Christian by mainstream churches) and the Unitarians (not Christian at all).

The reasons Republicans are banning history books is so that you will believe this is true. https://t.co/mExPK5lqY8

America is the place where we actually legalized slavery in our founding document. It took a massive amount of death and sacrifice to end the practice and even then the culture held on for over a century. Takes like this assume the idiocy of his audience. https://t.co/A09cw6Ko2Q

I mean, sure Christianity and slavery coexisted in perfect harmony for over 1800 years, and Britain outlawed slavery first, but Christianity and America being responsible for ending slavery just feels a lot more satisfying, doesn't it? Let's just go with that.

And this is why a lot of Black folks didn’t want Juneteenth to become a national holiday, because folks like this would be chiming in. https://t.co/HXuGAiOBeW

A good day to remember that sometimes the only way to enforce Federal law in Texas is with Union troops.

You *really* could not bring yourself to say "Happy Juneteenth!" could you, Senator?
