Benjamin Franklin owned 2 slaves before he became an abolitionist.

Sure, but make sure to end the influence of Marxism, and return the statues by 2022.

How can someone equate the keeping of slaves, which was perfectly fine according to the norms of that time, with the magnificent acts of statesmanship these men performed? There would be no U.S. of A. without them. Perhaps these spoiled brainwashed fartbrains resent that, too. They’d be totally clueless to come up with something half as brilliant. They are DUH people.

They think the US was founded by a few slaves who came to Jamestown. And their proof is an article appearing in the New York Times that said so.
How these universities can be considered institutions of higher learning escapes me.

I’m sure that typing 45 words per minute with your nose would cause some “mistakes!” Easy to catch.

Cowardice is a signal for the opposition to continue their destruction. Their toxic effort will multiply like weeds.

The decision to remove the statues came in response to a petition that circulated at the University of Missouri They will be awarded degrees. Worthless degrees.
