As bad as this lie is, it's not as bad as the lie that "slavery was good for the slaves" that republicans are pushing now.
They were pushing that line before the civil war. Claimed that forcing Christianity on them made up for the slavery.
That's like saying "Yes, I gave you AIDS, but you should be thankful because I also gave you syphilis."
It's the same bullshit religious people say about the Bible. They are not slaves! Just indentured servants, that you can beat and brand! It's totally cool! They loved it!
It's a funny way of saying that they tried to thrive in an extremely shitty situation.
