    Imagine a person saying something like, “I don’t know if slavery should’ve ended in the US because those slaves likely had some misogynistic or homophobic beliefs.”

    I wouldn’t put it past some white queers, honestly.

      They already handwring about the Haitian revolution, John Brown, Nat Turner & other slave revolts, they just know they probably couldn’t get away with saying it for US slavery as a whole. It’ll probably enter the discourse sooner than later

      You don’t have to imagine, there were white advocates for women’s rights in the time when it was considerably more acceptable to say “I don’t know if slavery should’ve ended” in public
