Patrick Henry owned 64 slaves.

Absolutely meaningless statement.

I don't think so.
He spoke of liberty for men, yet owned slaves. That's a pretty important insight into his character. Liberty for me, but not for thee.

I feel that a slave owner's opinions on liberty is worthless.

“I feel that a slave owner’s opinions on liberty is worthless. “

So, as a black racist, you believe this nation has a “worthless” right to exist since slavery was in the original constitution. Got it. Go to Africa, idiot.
