The whole reason those professors included it is because it was fairly common, well documented, and meant to give modern day blacks a more positive and complete view of their peoples resourcefulness. But dems don't like it because blacks can only be victims.

You keep harping on that last line and it is 100% tripe. Just a poorly worded cheap shot at a giant swath of people with infinite varying opinions on the matter. 

Millions of people universally hate this because it is an attempt to insert a "silver lining" into slavery.
And because it is some petty horse [BLEEP] for a politician who had been threatening to remove African American studies ENTIRELY from school curriculums to then add a line that directly says that slaves "personally benifitted" from the skills they may have learned while enslaved.

It's DeSantis playing politics and nothing more.
