You’re posting utter nonsense, read what our founding fathers themselves said and believed about race, and our nation:

Um, the Founders were all individuals, and each had their own specific views on race, Catholics, Jews— you name it.

You've obviously gotten sidetracked somewhere along the way, but you need to remember that all Men are created Equal, and have unalienable Rights, such as that of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

The Soviet Union and the Khmer Rouge, as well as North Korea today — all dystopias of egalitarianism also, just like your cherished soon-to-be train-wreck of what we have here.

Yeah, just like it. Gimme a break.

Do you even read what you post?

I have extensive knowledge of the Revolution, the Founders, the founding Documents, Natural Rights, Enlightenment philsophy, etc. and none of America's ideals in any way legitimize or sanction any focus or preoccupation with white supremacy, white nationalism, separatism, or racism, regardless of what any Founder may have thought as a misguided individual.

You're just completely out in the weeds on whatever you're trying to say.

The fact is, many of the Founders' beliefs about race were naive, ignorant, embarrassing, and flat-out morally wrong. Pointing to such things serves only as a cautionary lesson on how even the greatest men can have massive moral and philosophical blind spots.

You're ranting and raving, to no constructive purpose.

Racism sucks. Racism sucks. Racism f-----g sucks!

Vote Trump!

I read it. Cherry-picked through a Radix lens. It ignores much.

As other posters have said, the founders were not perfect beings. They were imperfect men of their time who would not tolerate the Crown’s oppression and set in motion not only a new land, but a new mindset that combined the best of what humanity has recognized: natural rights endowed by our Creator.

You can sell collectivism and white nationalism all you want. I’m not buying.
