What the serious fuck? Get over being sold like a commodity, kidnapped, put on a fucking boat, and having to experience forced labor for not only yourself, but your children and your children’s children for generations? Let that happen to you and your kids, you stupid, fascist racists, and see how soon you can get over it. This is about the dumbest fucking thing I have read here.

@BayouBoudin We can't forget it either. But the way it's being used as a political tool by the socialist progressives today is sickening.
@BayouBoudin
You can't pretend that the consequences aren't still being felt. The total subjugation and lawful discrimination against an entire people doesn't go away very quickly.
If you don't recognize that fact i expect you are not a black person nor do you have any close relationships with black people.

If anyone wants to know who started Jim crow laws take a look at the Democrat Party. Here's a Wikipedia link. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws

@SW-User absolutely! As a Democrat, I think it’s important that we own our own role in racism and slavery. But it would be equally worthy, rewarding, and fair for Republicans, who genuinely care about the soul of America, to disown this bunch of white nationalists who are now running our country, and make the party the moderate voice of reason it used to be. The guys in charge now are the swamp, and they do not give a flying fuck about any of you as long as they can make money.

And there you have the answer to your OP.
It matters (even to white people like myself) as long as there are people telling others that part of their family narrative or nation's narrative has no importance and to STFU about it.
I'm white AF and even I know from my own Euro-trash immigrant history that the first step to normalizing what happened to people is to fuck with their stories.
Slavery doesn't matter anymore.

@CopperCicada Not STFU about it. Stop using it as a crutch. It is the original sin of this country. So long as it is brought out whenever politically expedient, we can't move forward. You can acknowledge the past without using it to prevent a united future.

@BayouBoudin I don't consume media so I don't know who is using it as a crutch. In my world it's something that never comes up.
That said, the people I see causing the most division are those litmus testing everyone. Had a prick here tell me neither legal nor illegal immigrants were "real" Americans. Can't count the number of times I've seen people politically or religiously litmus tested.
