It would be wrong (to the extreme) to say that our Founding Fathers were "ok" with slavery.

No it wouldn't. Some were perfectly fine with it; others weren't. You said as much in your post, in fact.

Give me a break. Do I have to call the language police? “Some” (as you put it) of the Founding Fathers being fine with slavery doesn’t make all of the Founding Fathers “ok with it”. It makes them very conflicted on the issue—as they were—as I posted. This is the point I made abundantly clear before your inane post.
