Cool article on Detroit's slave past.

Interesting article full of things I didn't know.

What is cool about an article about slavery? Whether it's about Detroit or anyplace else?

I thought the article was pretty "cool" as well. That doesn't mean I think slavery is/was cool, and I think most here are capable of understanding the difference.

I think by 'cool' they mean it was interesting and informative and discussed something that is not common knowledge around here. I found it to be 'cool' in that context, too.

Thank you.

I don't know how someone could have possibly taken it any other way.

Thank you!

When I did wild bird rehab, I was especially interested in the complicated cases and maggot-infested wounds. I sometimes referred to them as cool cases or cool wounds.

I like when it refers to the racism of the Detroit Free Press in the 19t century. HA. like that's something of the past...

They've merely moved most of it to the comments section. Despicable. We're making fools of ourselves for posterity on there, fools I tell you.

The craziest part is the switch to Facebook didn't change a damn thing.

These people are willing to put their names and faces to the hateful racist shit that gets posted.

Click on the comments of an article that has ANYTHING to do with a person of color, positive or negative, and some racist BS assuredly be posted.

How could you possibly know how anyone is going take anything you post. The whole point in posting is to share opinions and information. My opinion happens to differ from yours about this article.

Like this?

It's a series I'll watch when it's on.

And yes I do find it interesting/cool.

Retaining, educating, & learning history, no matter the subject, is cool.

I'd consider retaining & remembering history, and learning lessons from our past a bit more than an opinion.

I mean, shall we just forget Shoah too? Crissakes....
