‘Turns Out That Your Ancestors Weren’t Killed Or Maimed Trying To End Slavery’: Tucker Rips Prof Insisting Slavery Still In U.S..

At a recent event sponsored by the Oregon Department of Education, where 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones spoke, the chair of Portland State University’s Black Studies Department, Professor Ethan Johnson, claimed that slavery still exists in the United States.

“One of the things that is really important, I think is, to not frame slavery as our legacy but as it’s still here,” said Johnson. “Its legacy suggests that it’s over and there’s some remnants of it moving forward. And I would suggest that, no, slavery is right here. The idea of what a slave is, is still here. And we’re living that.”
