School's Nation of Islam handout paints Founding Fathers as racists
Fox News.com ^ | October 27 | Todd Starnes

The mother of an eight-year-old wants to know why a Tennessee school teacher gave her child a handout from the Nation of Islam that portrayed the presidents on Mount Rushmore as being racists.

Sommer Bauer tells me her son was given The Nation of Islam handout at Harold McCormick Elementary School in Elizabethton. The handout asked “What does it take to be on Mount Rushmore?"

The handout then explains that George Washington hailed from Virginia, a “prime breeder of black people.” Of Theodore Roosevelt, it was alleged he called Africans “ape-like.” There were also disparaging remarks made of Thomas Jefferson (he enslaved 200 Africans) and Abraham Lincoln.

Take a look at the Middle East and North Africa, bought black slaves even into the early 20th century. Let’s talk about Muslim slavery, if they want to talk about American slavery.

I hope the ###holes in the world keep it up with their “rasis” BS. Every day, their race card carries less clout from being over used. Everybody is using it these days and it doesn’t really scare people the way it once did.

"School's Nation of Islam handout paints Founding Fathers as racists..."

... Yup ...... the Founding Fathers were so racist ..... that they laid down the foundational principles that gives the "Nation of Islam" ..... "Free Speech" .... which also gives them the "Right of Dissent" that also allows them to criticize those same Founding Fathers ......

.... It is my sincere belief that most Liberal/Socialists DO NOT understand the basic principles of social "Cause and Effect" ..... , "Consequences and Repercussions for their Actions" .... nor do they understand the basic use of "Common Sense!" ..... Heck .... they would even argue that the sun actually rises in the West and sets in the East .... to further their argument.

..... And for Pete's Sake .... these are the people that are now in charge of what is left of the free world! It is the beginning of an Anarchist's dream .... destroy that which keeps all other political factions in check!

If you want to speak Racist, go join a Racist tank. This is an American tank. We speak American. [Fury, 2014]

OK - adherents of Islam don't get Natural Rights, since they don't recognize The Creator.

So STFU, Nation of Islam boys.

I wonder if the low information black community refuses to recognize Islam's long and continuing history of enslaving black Africans because when they look at Arabia and Turkey and Persian populations, the blacks are not represented in substantial numbers which they presume would prove such accusations. If these low-information groups would study and discover how the black males were brutally castrated and as many as 9 of 10 captured males never survived the journey to the slave markets, they might begin to wake up.

Perhaps someday the black community would consider reading a work by "Theodore Parker" who wrote "Historic Americans", in which he describes Founding Father, Ben Franklin, abolitionist extraordinaire, quoting the koran in defending his abolition petition to Congress.

You can read it online here: “Historic Americans” or http://tinyurl.com/aa96dnm

Quote:

Page 27:

You see the young nation in its infancy. “Hercules in his cradle, “ said Franklin; but with a legion of the mystic serpents about him. If the rising sun shines auspicious, yet the clouds threaten a storm, long and terrible. “

Page 33

VI. Franklin, an old man of eighty-four, is making ready to die. The great philosopher, the great statesman, he has done with philosophy and state craft, not yet ended his philanthropy. He is satisfied with having taken the thunderbolt from the sky, bringing it noiseless and harmless to the ground; he has not yet done with taking the sceptre from tyrants. True, he has, by the foundation of the American state on the natural and inalienable rights of all, helped to set America free from the despotism of the British king and Parliament. None has done more for that. He has made the treaty with Prussia, which forbids privateering on land or sea. But now he remembers that there are some six hundred thousand African slaves in America, whose bodies are taken from their control, even in time of peace – peace to other men, to them a period of perpetual war. So in 1787, he founds a society for the abolition of slavery. He is its first President, and in that capacity signed a

Page 34

petition to Congress, asking “the restitution of liberty to those unhappy men, who alone in this land of freedom are degraded into perpetual bondage;” asks Congress “that you will step to the very verge of the power vested in you for discouraging every species of traffic in the persons of our fellow-men.” This petition was the last public act of Franklin, the last public document he ever signed. He had put his hand to the Declaration of Independence; to the treaties of alliance with France and Prussia; to the treay of peace with Great Britain, now he signs the first petition for the abolition of slavery.

Between 1783 and 1790 what important events had taken place! For three years he had been President of Pennsylvania, unanimously elected by the Assembly every time save the first, when one vote out of seventy-seven was cast against him. He had been a member of the Federal Convention, which made the Constitution, and, spite of what he considered to be its errors, put his name to it. Neither he, nor Washington, nor indeed any of the great men who helped to make that instrument, thought it perfect, or worshipped it as an idol. But now, as his last act, he seeks to correct the great fault, and blot, and vice of of the American government – the only one which, in seventy-six years, has given us much trouble. The petition was presented on the 12th of February, 1790. It asked for the abolition of the

Page 35

slave trade, and for the emancipation of slaves. A storm followed; the South was in a rage, which lasted till near the end of March. Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, defended the “peculiar institution.” The ancient republics had slaves; the whole current of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, proved that religion was not hostile to slavery. On the 23rd of March, 1790, Franklin wrote for the National Gazette the speech in favor of the enslavement of Christians. He put it into the mouth of a member of the Divan of Algiers. It was a parody of the actual words of Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, as delivered in Congress a few days before; the text, however, being taken out of the Koran. It was one of the most witty, brilliant, and ingenious things that came from his mind. This was the last public writing of Dr. Franklin; and, with the exception of a letter to his sister and one to Mr. Jefferson, it was the last line which ran out from his fertile pen. - writen only twenty-four days before his death. What a farewell it was! This old man, “the most rational, perhaps of all philosophers,” the most famous man in America, now in private life, waiting for the last angel to unbind his spirit and set hime free from a perishing body, makes his last appearance before the American people as President of an abolition society, protesting against American slavery in the last public line he writes! One of his wittiest and most ingenious works is a plea for the bondman,

Page 36

adroit, masterly, short, and not to be answered. It was fit to be the last scene of such a life. Drop down the curtain before the sick old man, and let his healthy soul ascend unseen and growing.

Franklin Papers has the actual jaw dropping feature by Benjamin Franklin.

WE MUST TEACH OUR CHILDREN OUR HISTORY...or they are doomed to repeat it's failures.

That one shouldn’t surprise anyone since all the Founders were white devils.

Speaking of Founders, maybe someone should challenge the Nation of Islam’s credibility by pointing out how its founder and the developer of its most cherished beliefs was a nut.

Of course this is where it all goes. Particularly when whites won’t stand up for themselves. Whites are evil...

Because Jesus was Jewish.

Jews = Bad

Christianity = Bad

White folks = Bad

Patriotic Americans who love their country = Really Bad

Orwellian is what it is.
