again, to the extent those people are racists, then trump was not talking about them, as he specifically said so. trump was saying he believes those folks to be peaceful people who cared about our history. washington and jefferson had slaves. do you want their statues torn down? do you want the name of DC and wash state changed? why not you fucking racist? those people literally had human beings as slaves. lincoln said the black man can never among whites as equals. and a shitload of other stuff that would be far worse than the klan today. tear him down as well? not everyone thinks so. some people think history is what it is and by leaving up statues we remember history for what it was, even if sometimes negative. or as you might say LOL RACISSSS HAHA TRUMP IS ORANGE WHY SO ANGRY LOLZERS
Washington and Jefferson had compensating virtues, including the establishment of this country, itself, and a constitutional structure that would eventually allow the abolition of slavery. Slave ownership and fighting to perpetuate slavery were not their defining social or political characteristics. Their statues don't stand around this country because they fought for slavery. Can't say the same about Robert E. Lee, who contributed absolutely nothing to the constitutional structure or long-term welfare of this country, and who fought to destroy our Union and fought to propagate slavery. His statue DOES stand around this country because he fought for slavery, and it's an affront to patriotic and decent Americans. It is a RACIST, WHITE SUPREMACIST machination to equate Washington and Jefferson to Lee. You KNOW it's not valid, but you're a very big fan of false equivalences..... trump and Hillary, to name another. You're not an honest person; you're an endless liar.... and inasmuch as you support a blatant racist and now even spread bullshit white supremacist contrivances a RACIST endless liar, at that.
they literally had human beings in bondage, because they thought they were inferior. why are you supporting white supremacists? are you fucking crazy? you can put a black man in chains and beat him until he picks your cotton as long as you a nice fellow? there is nothing you can do to justify literally enslaving a human, you fucking nazi
now you are a slavery denialist? you dont admit washington and jefferson had slaves? how are you trying to justify literally treating humans like property? your point here is that its ok to have slaves if you are good in other ways. can i have slaves if i give to charity? BLACKS ARE HUMANS its never ok for anyone to enslave them
rex is saying here that slavery is ok if you have compensating virtues. this is like saying hitler was fine because he was nice to his dog.
you are deflecting and we both know it. you have not thought about the arguments against your gay points before you say them. you want to deflect away fron your stupid points with insults, hoping it will bog your opponents down insulting you back. doesnt work on me. you are supporting washington literally owning humans he thinks are inferior because he is a good guy
You can't read. Someone who CAN read would know that there's absolutely nothing in what I said that justifies slavery. You can't read, PERIOD.
well you said "Washington and Jefferson had compensating virtues" compensating for what? nothing justifies slavery right. nothing. should we tear down the washington and jefferson statues?
