Some years ago, New Orleans changed the name of George Washington school. They didn’t want a school named after someone who owned slaves. It hurt the self esteem of the almost all black student body and black teachers. They named the school after an African king. That was supposed to help the self esteem of the black students, so they weren’t forced to attend a school named after a slave owner.
Political correctness is a strong force in our society.

They named the school after an African king. Entirely possible the African king owned slaves which would be too funny.

I’d bet you that the African King owned black slaves too. Probably more than Washington and he probably killed them when they no longer produced for him.

I’d be willing to bet that the African king owned slaves too.

BS. I bet 75% of the blacks in GW high school couldn’t tell you who GW was, much less that he owned a cow.

Was that African King one of the ones that sold other blacks into slavery?

And, of course, the African king never owned slaves, right? Right???
