  • A meme circulating on Facebook in March 2021 quotes Kimberly Daniels , a Christian minister and former member of the Florida House of Representatives in the US, as saying I thank God for slavery. It shows a photo of Daniels, who is African-American. The quote continues : If it wasn't for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa worshipping a tree. It’s an outrageous statement, and Facebook’s fact-checking system has flagged the meme as possibly false. But Daniels said it. Sermon in 2008 A Google search reveals that a number of organisations reported on Daniels’ remarks, made during a 2008 guest sermon at a church in the US state of Ohio. A short clip from the sermon, including the part where Daniels thanks God for slavery, can be viewed here . In August 2020, Daniels lost her bid for re-election to the Florida house. (en)
