Democrat Senator and former VP running mate of Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine (VA) on Tuesday said the United States created slavery.
To think this degenerate liar almost became Vice President of the United States.
“The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it,” said Tim Kaine as he droned on about racism in America.

I may have heard this before at FreeRepublic. If it’s true then it should be brought to the forefront now.
Historical trivia that is meaningless. The Republican party as is known today was formed in 1854. The Democrat Party is much older and therefore has a much larger number of potential slave holders for that reason. It is just as specious an argument to say “General Grant owned slaves” (and he did, by virtue of marriage— ie. his wife’s family slaves) as it is to claim General Lee owned slaves (he did— they were Mary Custis Lee’s inherited slaves from her father George Washington Parke Custis. Many republicans to this day have slave ownership in family history, as well as being descended from indentured servants for life... so this is sophistry to try and state such an absolute.
“In fact forms of slavery are still practiced in the Middle East.”
See Libya after Barack and Webb’s lover got done with it.
Long long long before the first century. And blacks don’t have a monopoly on having been slaves. But facts don’t matter anymore.
The Democrats are so desperate to hide facts of history—such as the fact that no Republicans owned slaves—that they send out all kinds of helpers to try and obscure the fact. Careful.
Slavery is completely a crime of the Democrat party.
Republicans never owned slaves. They shed blood to free the slaves from the Democrats.
Britain had it during the Colonial period.
that is the understatement of the year :)
but it’s better than my post which would probably curse him out :)
I believe him. Slavery was the major issue that caused the Republicans to split off from the Whig Party. I read that on the Internet.
This Mitt-for-brains was almost the vice president of the United States...
Obama’s ancestry was all over the internet 10 years ago.
He must have failed history.

The Hebrew people were slaves to Egypt for what? 400 years? How many thousands of years ago?
No matter how you slice it, The Democrat Party owns slavery; lock, Stock and barrel.
Yes, and Britain also employed the “indentured servant” system that made virtual slaves out of white indentured servants who came to the Colonies (and the Caribbean holdings) often under “sentenced to transportation” instead of a hanging. Generations of US citizens descend from such a heritage.
Phosphorescent white skin Irish cutting sugar cane in the broiling tropical Barbados sun-— died like flies. Then the Brit Colonies found a ready source in african slaves, sold to slavers by arab middlemen notably to Yankee ship’s owners, in the “trade”- a source of great wealth. Slavery is not unique to blacks or any other’s lives, all of which.... matter. The slavery to which Jefferson referred in the Declaration was the never ending servitude which was the structure of the Royal Colonies and the Lord’s Proprietorships of all the others.
I said it happened, I didn't say I agreed with the manner in which it was done, but you cannot deny that it was Jefferson's words that triggered the whole thing.
I would much prefer that people arrive at the right conclusions for the right reasons, not pull dirty tricks and use dishonesty to get what they want.
So the ancient Egyptians and the Romans were also living in Colonial America? Who knew?
