“The comments are always something.

His comment illustrates a broad and deep ignorance of the American Revolution. There were black soldiers in the Continental army. After the war they were in many cases cheated out of the freedom they were promised but not always.

When the Brits complain about racism in the US ask them about the Opium Wars or how the Indians (in India) were treated. They get a little bit defensive

Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s grandfather on the Delano side was heavily involved in the Opium trade.
