The reason why wypipo stopped "believing" (or rather, telling themselves- blatant denial) that slaves liked what they were experiencing, you mean.

Not even back then, were they quite that ignorant or brainwashed. The average white person then, as it still remains now, would have been horrified at even the prospect of receiving a fraction of the abuse and dehumanization they inflicted on blacks (or other non-white peoples).

Most wypipo then were willfully deluded, and also just plain evil. That's the simple facts of it- they weren't outright braindead (such narratives, that they genuinely thought slaves "liked" their conditions, paints them in a better light than they deserve).

Oh I know. They were and are always going to cynically fake ignorance of their actions. Liars once, liars always.

Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
