Maybe they can dig up his corpse, but it on trial, and then hang it.
Sharpton U ... Has a ring to it.
But yet mosques, founded by a mass slave trader, are immune.
To hell with these losers wanting to rewrite history.
George Floyd U.
And shouldn’t we close the hospital and university while we’re at it? I hear they both have pretty good reputations and serve many inner city residents, but we must atone. And hasn’t Michael Bloomberg donated many millions to Johns Hopkins?
lol
The Democratic Party was founded by supporters of slave owner Andrew Jackson, tracing its roots to slave owners Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. No Republican has ever owned a slave. The modern rat party does not support democracy, embracing election theft. Their dirty name has got to go.
To make proper atonement, the school will have to be renamed for a critical race theorist.
“No Republican has ever owned a slave.”
False. Unless this is satire it should not be repeated.
When will Yale and Brown be renamed?
Documentation, please, from each of you.
And while they’re at it then need to get some competent staff.
Their COVID-19 map has been wildly inaccurate. For example the isle of NFLD, Canada shows they have had zero CV-19 cases. But a simple Google search shows that have.
Benjamin Burton, state of Delaware.
Cornelius Vanderbilt was the original American “robber baron.” To promote his business interests he went so far as to hire a mercenary (William Walker, the “grey-eyed man of destiny”) to overthrow the government of Nicaragua. Which he did, on his second attempt. Walker also tried to conquer Costa Rica (was repulsed) and then Honduras (was captured and hanged), the very definition of “imperialism.”
Yet there still is a university named after him.
For now, anyway.
I stand corrected as he owned 28 slaves and wanted the government to compensate $500 per freed slave. A Republican owning slaves was a queer thing though. The party was clear from the beginning about being anti-slavery.
I hate to be persistent, but the Republican Party was founded on the opposition to the expansion of slavery into American territories and newly created states. The Republican Party was not an abolitionist party although some of its members were abolitionists.
Preventing slavery in new states was not designed to benefit slaves. Slaves did not benefit from being excluded from new states; they remained slaves.
Excluding slaves from new states was to benefit whites who did not want to compete with slave labor. There were other economic and political reasons as well.
Baltimore City University. Has a nice ring to it .
