Slavers used Christianity to try to “tame” the enslaved. To make them believe slavery was God’s will, rape and brutality were what the enslaved deserved. European settlers called Indians "savage” because they didn't live the way Europeans did. The indigenous culture was crushed. They were slaughtered and forced to relocate.

No writer wants to strike. We want to work. We want to continue writing the scripts that become the shows that set this app on fire night after night, week after week. Our work creates BILLIONS of dollars that make CEOs and shareholders millions of dollars and guess what?
