They deleted the post after claiming that since cain is from the same state as their slave ancestors, Cain should not be allowed to have an online presence. Saying racist shit is bad, I’m not saying forgive Cain unconditionally. But I think OP is having a really bad day and deleted the post because they realized that they are not in the mental space to make a good argument.

I don’t have the same lived experience but I honestly think that’s valid for them to think. I’m from Mississippi, notorious for having the worst education system in the United States, and even I extensively learned about the state’s history of slavery. I think it’s worse that Hayden is from the south and said those things, because most people our age do tend to have a pretty good understanding of the history of slavery compared to some older generations.
