They also claim that George Washington is no good because he “owned” slaves...and stop the story there. But he bought none. They were all inherited, and he freed all of those he legally was able to do so and even provided for those that could not provide for themselves that he freed to get them on their own feet.
According to Broadway, he was also a black man.
They need to shut down the play, since it glorifies a slaveholder.
So?
If you owned a major agricultural establishment at that time, you probably owned slaves.
Besides he didn’t own slaves. He just managed some his wife’s family’s transactions regarding slaves.
Andy why don’t these woketards ever criticize the Africans for owning and selling the slaves or the Moslems for officially holding on to slavery into the 20th century (unofficially, they still hold slaves...).
He was born a poor black child in Jamaica I believe.
A week or so ago I made a recipe from the New York Times. It was a flop. I later fed my dog the left overs. He got sick and died. I lined the bird cage with the NYT and my bird fell over dead. It just goes to show that the NYT isn’t good for anything.
Think of it. You know in your heart that killing an unborn human baby is wrong on every level, however you can't stop the practice. It is a "legal" institution. Therefore, you can only do so much which in the end does not remove abortion from the land.
That is exactly where our founders were when it came to the subject of slavery.
At all of the colonial colleges our founders attended, slavery was the number one subject debated in the debate clubs. No one in the colonial colleges left those institutions with a love for slavery.
When Jefferson wrote his first draft of the Declaration and handed it to the Council of Five, his editorial board, he had written a couple of paragraphs on why slavery was evil. The board told him that although they agreed with him about slavery, the Declaration was not the place in which to address that issue. Jefferson did sneak a phrase in when he said "All men are created equal." And by that he intended to add all humans which included slaves.
The Declaration needed to be a unanimous production. There were about 3 or 4 founders from the South who had not attended the colonial colleges, instead they graduated from universities in Britain where slavery was not rigorously debated. So, the end result was unanimous by the signers but not a declaration against slavery.
It would be false to conclude that just because Jefferson's two paragraphs were deleted that somehow our founders delighted in slavery.
You should never line a bird cage with a newspaper. Your bird probably died from the ink.
Yes, ink poisoning. As a child, I almost died of soap poisoning. I should have linked the two.
Lifebuoy, eh?
Yeah, very foul mouth.
Since we're demeaning our founders, how about Simon Bolivar, South America's Washington. Though anti-slavery, he has written that were it not for the youthful death of his wife, he would have been content to live his life with here on their extensive land holdings, slaves and all. Doubt anyone would topple his statues.
That is an excellent comparison. I suppose today’s liberals would be Torys.
Actually Hamilton had very advanced views for the times. He said that if blacks and whites were raised in similar environments there would be know difference. He came to these views while a 16 year old merchant apprentice in Nevis watching enslaved whites & blacks working the docks.
The family that owns the New York Times were slave owners.
I really wish you could go back and edit posts !
Typo ! My bad !
“..know difference. ..” replace with “no difference”
Back to the slave sh*t again.
Methinks Jessie Serfilippi has been sleeping with Michael Bellesiles.
So the federalist now uses woke terms like enslaver?
Disgusting
