[I want the USA back]

The media giants hate this country. Is there any other country on earth where this is true? Why here?

If they don’t like it here, then they should get out and go to somalia.

[manc]

There has and is black Senators, congressmen and women, mayors, sheriffs etc oh and a past President who ruined the country and only care about his racial and bathroom agenda. They have all the chances , no sorry they have more chances than whites yes they still complain about anything, and everything.
We do not have white bike week, white entertainment channel, white colleges, caucasian college funds, white Miss America, affirmative action, racial quotas for the less suited for a job, or position, lower business loans, lower mortgage rates etc etc etc
Yet some have been going around attacking whites, showing their racism , setting up whites to get a reaction so they play the victim, and they still frigging moan and complain.

[manc]

CNN wanted obama’s face on there as did most on the lunatic left. So much hypocrisy from the left just like black lives matter but white lives are not to them.

She can spit on the Founders but keeps her job.

It’s good to be part of Spaniard Reconquista Victim Group.

[Missouri gal]

And before Lincoln freed slaves, Washington and Jefferson laid the groundwork.

“I think it’s fair to sometimes question whether America loves African-Americans as much as we love it.”

---

A good question. Why do you think that lack of love might be? Don’t say “racism”, or go ahead and say racism if you like, but might there be other reasons? Perhaps a little introspection might be in order.

Other races, not loved at first, and in America much less time, have somehow grown to be accepted and learned to prosper. Why is this, do you suppose?

[GreyFriar]

Reminds me of an incident at Bill Clinton’s inauguration - One person made a derogatory comment about a USAF fly over of DC and another Dem replied (more or less) “Hush, those jets belong to us now.”

[dfwgator]

That was the late Ron Silver, who over time became more Conservative.

[GreyFriar]

Thank you.

[bray]

Name one person in the world who is socially pure enough for the communist party.

[bigbob]

We cheated the Indians out of Manhattan island, so when do we give that bastion of liberal crap back?

[Bonemaker]

“..and on land wrestled away from Native Americans...”

Well CNN reporterette, your HQ sits on land wrested from the Cherokees and Creeks! What say you? Bitch.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yale University is a monument to a slave-owner too.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

This is why CNN wins so many Pulitzer Prizes. The fascists who hand out these awards hate America.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Well if they don’t like their color they can blame their parents.

OR, as in the old PBS movie, THE LATHE OF HEAVEN (1980)....

“When Haber directs George to dream a world without racism, the skin of everyone on the planet becomes a uniform light gray.”

Betcha they would still find something to whine about.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Where were all these geniuses a month ago mount Rushmore is been there for decades right now all the sudden?

Oh yeah groupthink brainwashed lemmings

The Founders Believed Slavery Was Fundamentally Wrong

The overwhelming majority of early Americans and most of America’s leaders did not own slaves. Some did own slaves, which were often inherited (like George Washington at age eleven), but many of these people set them free after independence. Most Founders believed that slavery was wrong and that it should be abolished. William Livingston, signer of the Constitution and Governor of New Jersey, wrote to an anti-slavery society in New York (John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and President of the Continental Congress, was President of this society):

I would most ardently wish to become a member of it [the anti-slavery society] and . . . I can safely promise them that neither my tongue, nor my pen, nor purse shall be wanting to promote the abolition of what to me appears so inconsistent with humanity and Christianity. . . . May the great and the equal Father of the human race, who has expressly declared His abhorrence of oppression, and that He is no respecter of persons, succeed a design so laudably calculated to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke.

- The Bible, Slavery, and America’s Founders

***We cheated the Indians out of Manhattan island***

The other way around. According to Louis L’Amour, the Dutch bought the land from Indians, who just happened to be traveling through, and did not live in that area.

The Dutch later had to build a wall, now Wall Street, to protect themselves from those “Sauvages” who did live there and missed the payoff.

“We cheated the Indians out of Manhattan island,...”

Yeah the old $24 worth of beads. But, think about beads for a minute—the Indians in the east thought about them a lot, they were a form of currency. Imagine trying to make a bead using the tools the Indians had at hand. And unlike many things, in the case of beads, smaller is better because it is so much harder to achieve.

So to the Indians, a chest full of beautiful, colorful beads would represent lifetimes of work. The fact that Dutch factories could turn them out by the shipload was unimaginable to them.

And then there was the miracle of iron pots that you could cook in and would last lifetimes. Indians probably thought they were ripping us off.

Didn’t both hill and oh visit the Mt?
