A few years ago I went to the Whitney plantation near New Orleans. One of only two former plantations that shows the slaves' side of the story with all the cruelty, danger and industrial scale rape to create babies born to be slaves. Gut wrenching. Horrendous. Unforgettable.
Slavery was much worse than you were taught. White Supremacist terrorism and lynching was much worse than you were taught. Jim Crow and racial segregation was much worse than you were taught. The legacy of slavery is much worse than you were taught.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Sadly, it's the same story in Canada. The CBC had to disallow commenting on all stories related to indigenous people or issues because of the hideous and unrelenting racism.

The thing that is so disappointing about the racism in Australia is that we cannot pay to boost any of our social media posts for our annual fundraising events or workshops.
Anything Indigenous specific -always results in such horrific racism and trolling that it’s a full time job dealing with it.
