CJ Pearson, a Black Gen Z conservative activist said, “I think it’s absurd we’re having a debate about whether slavery was good for Black people in 2023.”
If you think that, you might not understand what the modern Republican Party is trying to do.

Ron DeRacist is his name and racism is his game. Vote this pile of shit out of office in the next election.

  The tin foil hattiness of that question is obvious, but somehow it makes more sense than black people joining/supporting the GOP.
