Wait..there were good things about slavery? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-smithsonian-how-bad-slavery-was-review-museums-rcna225964 Trump says the Smithsonian focuses too much on 'how bad slavery was President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has ordered his attorneys to conduct a review of Smithsonian museums, calling their portrayal of U.S. history too negative and focused too much on “how bad Slavery was.” Trump said he would subject the museums to “the exact same process” his administration has conducted of universities, with the goal of making the Smithsonian less “woke.” A White House official told NBC News on Tuesday night that Trump plans to extend his review of museums beyond the Washington-based institution, saying the president will hold the Smithsonian "accountable" and "then go from there." Trump wrote on Truth Social: “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.” “We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made,” he added. The Smithsonian did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Why indeed? https://x.com/David_Leavitt/status/1958361993431392433 Why are MAGA republicans more enraged about removing a white man from the Cracker Barrel logo than the white-washing of American history at the Smithsonian?

Going after murderers, rapists and strawberry deliverers...all the worst criminals.

And again, Trump delayed and postponed the implimentation of the tarifffs.

The jury is still out on the impact of the tariffs as Trump has kept postponing and advancing the effective dates. We should see if a few months if the media lied or exaggerated the impact of the tariffs.

You have no proof of that whatsoever, but carry on with your delusion.

So if we cherry pick selected news items, Fox reports the truth more often, lol

I sure that is not close to being correct at all if one were to do a fact check of truth and accuracy in news reporting comparing Fox with the big three networks.

Reasonable quesstion from the Twitters: Why are states like Ohio sending national guard troops to DC to help fight crime when there are cities in Ohio with higher crime rates per capita than DC?????

Fox is lying less than CBS, NBC, ABC?

The POLITICO-UC Berkeley Citrin Center survey conducted by TrueDot found that 70 percent of Democrats believe gerrymandering is “never acceptable.” But a strong majority of Democratic voters across the country think California Democrats should “fight back” and create more favorable House districts if Texas Republicans do, embracing the exact idea likely to go before California voters. “The real divide isn’t about whether it’s fair,” said Jon Cohen, founder and CEO of TrueDot. “The real divide is whether to fight fire with fire or hold the line on principle.” [...]

I mean, there is something very un-alpha male about a lot of the things that they're doing... the whole reason why the National Guard is in Washington, DC is because some dweeb teenage kid named Big Balls got beat up."

Tim is not a liberal and doesn't speak for liberals or Democrats and if you don't believe that, just ask him.

No, we don't want that from illegals.

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig. Those things in do not make slavery a positive experience or a good thing in any way.

Except those things were not about the institution of slavery they were a response to it.

OK getting back to the question I raised in the OP...What are the good parts of slavery that The Smithsonian should talk about instead? Are there any?

Sorry but he is suggesting that there were some positive or good aspects about slavery (or why else say the focus is "too negative"?)

Unless they are white, then he expresses worry if they have been subjected to some sort of discrimination.
