Man Confident He Would’ve Been Against Slavery If He Was Alive During 1960s

PELHAM, MA—Declaring he was absolutely sure he would have stood for progressive values, local man Eugene Leigh told reporters Monday that he was confident he would’ve been against slavery if he was alive during the 1960s.

too, no matter the consequences. I would have definitely spoken out against the forced subjugation of Black people in the 1950s, even. You can disagree with me if you want, or say that I wouldn’t have actually been against it back then, but if I were alive in the 1960s I would know in my heart that slavery was wrong. Does that make me brave? Maybe.” Leigh added that he’s equally sure he would be against the concept of forced prison labor if he’s still alive in the 2070s.

catron_clint Hilarious!!! 😂😂😂💯

Would he have burned my bra?

Ok. Quit your job then.

that last line hit like a truck.

He’s wearing a wifebeater

johnfeath Area man?

EmmaVigeland Pretty sure a MAGAmonkey behind a typewriter has already typed/ thought that Theory: Onion jokes are written by psychic mediums

the dude in the picture look like Elon Musk

Omg🤦🏾‍♀️

Same

I would have opposed slavery but I was preoccupied by the Cuban Nuclear Missile Crisis.

And he would immediately get hundreds of likes from gay men

Same guy would have saved everybody from mass shooter, and stood up to guy harassing girl at the bar.

elon musk

a real hero

Every Twitter user

He looks like he would’ve frequented bath houses in the 80s as well

Yeah, about the time Abe Lincoln was around. 😋😜🤣

Sadly on point.

What a brave men bless

Who cares....

'Area man' surely

Sadly, this is exactly the mindset of the left. They judge people's past actions by today's standards.

Keep posting onion, one day you will be relevant and funny. Nah just kidding youre played out old trash that needs to go away and die already.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Elon Musk?

😭

This is the look 😂😂😂 Flawless execution

Is that Chris Pratt?

I thought it was young Elon Musk from the 70s.

*1860’s

However he would think that Martin Luther King fellow was annoying

And

- mark whalberg apologizing for his latest controversy

You talking about The Sex Slave industry where they promise girls from other countries they'll get jobs in The U.S and end up being prostitutes here?

This reminds me of the time a friend told me that the film ‘The Help’ was set in “slave times” 😂

'Leigh added that he’s equally sure he would be against the concept of forced prison labor if he’s still alive in the 2070s.' 2020 china

Thank you, very cool

pchindle Your article lives up to your name 😂

' I would have abolished slavery a second time if I could.'

I am fairly sure I would have jumped off the Titanic

I'm not impresed.

The only people I know alive during that time (my 4 grandparents) all were. entire countries and regions were as well. i don’t get this one. seems like pretty good odds. Lots of more recent period pieces have been ‘black washed’ to emphasize the presence of bigotry.

Also hard to tell if regular onion article or something a trump supported said

Notice how he didn't say he'd be for the rights of people who want to marry their dog to their cat, so they don't have to live in sin.

These articles aren’t even satire anymore. I could read this on CNN. 🤣

is that elon

Is '1960s' the point of the joke or a typo? Too hard to tell. Should have gone with 1860s, or 1950s, one or the other.

Is this satire Is this just fantasy 🎵

Huge if true

Good, a man of the people. He’s got my vote.

LOL

Ooooffff.

Same.

Haha!

Man also states adamantly that all lives matter

Man in 2120 confident he would've protested against police brutality if he was alive in 2020s.

So much to this

When you're not sure if the date was a typo or intentional...

Is that elon musk?

Johnny might have gone for soldier. 🙄

Really? This guy? Those are some awfully white looking cabinets. You know he can't tell if he is wearing socks without looking down.

It’s truly amazing how much funnier The Babylon Bee is than the Onion

🤖👾👽

How did he feel about Germany bombing Pearl Harbor?

I can't tell you how frequently my college freshmen wrote some variation on 'Martin Luther King did a lot to advance black people's rights during the slavery times.'

If i was alive a thousand years ago I would have invented gravity and germ theory there common sense really

This joke is straight from Last Week Tonight that aired Sunday

*1860?

'Leigh added that he’s equally sure he would be against the concept of forced prison labor if he’s still alive in the 2070s.' Lmao

Man also confident he will be against racism and xenophobia if he were to be alive in the 2060s.

Seems reasonable.

Hm

Is that a young Elon Musk in the picture?

When did the onion stop being funny?
