Maybe Micah could follow this up by telling us all that the SAVE Act will be great for married women when Indiana decides not to take marriage licenses as additional documentation.
What’s sad is that a war of treason lost by the southern states still wasn’t enough to change any attitudes.
He’s so awful. A true theocrat, constantly trying to erode separation of church and state. He needs to go.
Rev. Beckworth is not on the right side of God or history. His claim that the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted each Black “a great move” that led to the abolishment of slavery doesn’t pass the smell test.
Passed in 1776, it would be another 88 years before slavery was banished in every part of the United States. It was the Civil War and the combat deaths of 111,904 Union soldiers (including my gr-gr-grandfather) that gave enslaved Blacks their freedom.
It was a good compromise.
It deleted the power of the slaveholders greatly.
The slaveholders wanted slaves counted as while persons for greater political power.
It also kept the union of the states intact until the outbreak of the Civil War.
The three B’s (Braun, Beckwith and Banks) are a constant embarrassment to Indiana.
+1
💯
Most assuredly…I am SO tired of being embarrassed by Indiana
politicians….
Agree. They are an absolute disgrace to Indiana.
Have any of you left wingers taken a U.S. History Class?????
The 3/5 compromise was a good compromise for the following reasons.
1). It diluted the political power of the slave holding south. The Slaveholders demanded that slaves be counted as whole persons for much greater political power.
2). The 3/5 compromise kept the union of the states together until the Civil War.
3). Without the 3/5 Compromise the Slave holding states probably would have seceded and slavery would not have been abolished during the Civil War.
We would have been a divided country and slavery probably would have lasted well past 1865.
Nothing Christian about Beckwith. Pathetic that Hoosiers elected him.
A statement worthy of impeachment.
I’m going to have to guess Beckwith was educated either at home or a private religious school, because there is a definite lack of education here.
If I called Beckwith three-fifths of a man, I’d be overselling him.
Study the 3/5 compromise and you will understand why it was good.
Apparently there is no bottom to the depths to which this clown will go to pander to his White Christian Nationalist base. And this is the man the MAGAt Republicans want to replace Todd Young…
be worried, Indiana and the US…be very worried. Micah Beckwith and Jim Banks representing Indiana in the US Senate…
This is no surprise to those that saw him vote to remove the book, “Why?: A Conversation about Race” from the kids library section when he was on the HEPL board. https://amzn.to/3GsXj7X
Time for a lot of people to simply leave this state. Braun is not going to publicly say anything because he believes it as well. Remember his interracial marriages should be left up to the states comment. They are just now saying out loud what they have believed all along.
His comments are just pure racism and mirror white supremacist talking points.
You can’t fix stupid. But, stupid is scary for an elected person in the executive branch of government.
Idiot and racist
Hoosier Democrats had better get their butts in gear because Beckwith has is 1) corrupt and disgusting and 2) has given them every kind of ammo that they need. It has been four months and he’s engaged in blatant quid pro quo corruption, trolled taxpayers on their time, called Hoosier women whores, pushed for millions of state dollars to flow to his chain of churches, and is clearly a seething racist.
Aside from this rant being completely ahistorical (Slave States very explicitly did not want to count enslaved persons as whole individuals because they did not believe in their humanity. It was not a “genius move” to achieve abolition), something good the Republicans did 150 years ago is not a license to be racist.
Do you leftists ever study history????
The 3/5 compromise was extremely important for the reasons that
John S. stated.
Good grief!!!!!!! Take a U.S. History course.
Your glorious “compromise” was a political fantasy and unsustainable falsehood. It directly permitted the enslavement of 10 million people. The undeniable truth that all of us are equal eventually unraveled the lie, and led to the Civil War deaths of over 600,000 Americans.
Who was the dummy, really?
Yes, I study history quite extensively. But I don’t use the white-washed ahistorical nonsense from Prager U to do so.
