Hey Blow....Obama’s Father’s Family engaged in the SLAVE TRADE, iirc......so Mr. ABSOLUTIST, you BETTER go after his name!
Didn’t Washington free his slaves in his will? Point being, I’m pretty sure he knew it was disgusting.
But yet mohamed and islam...
So does Mr. Blow’s intolerance extend to Mohammad who owned slaves and his holy book tolerates slavery?
In keeping with that theme, we should expose all the liberals who raved about how great this production was.
Does this article attack the Democrat party on slavery?
These people are racists and lunatics. The real failures in American history have been democrats, leftists and the black community.
They won’t let us say that, and we are to be punished because of their glaring inadequacies.
Most Americans opposed slavery from the beginning, fought a war to end it, and most of our ancestors came here after slavery was gone.
All this about slavery is nonsense. Yes I would criticize the southern founders for slavery but obviously that isn’t their only important quality.
Must be super cool and all to be a historical revisionist with the luxury of being an ‘armchair general’ today looking back and passing judgments on people and things back in the 1700s. Always taught my history students to keep things within their proper historical contexts because it is soooooo easy today to judge the past for things we today have no clue of given their HISTORICAL CONTEXT of that time period.
NYT is premium toilet paper material and long long has been.
Does Mr Blow support a “woman’s right to choose”?
But when you get to communist regimes the left gets very forgiving - “mistakes might have been made” but never mind that or “you have to do rough things to make ‘progress.’”
ALL of this is about motivating blacks with white hot RACISM so they will equate Trump with slavery and bother to vote for Biden.
And the problem is a significant number of white leftists are right there with them on the racist purge of white Christian conservatives.
I guess Mr. Blow’s convictions does not apply to his own family. One son went to the university named after a slave trader Yale and another son went to Columbia named after another slaver.
The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed. It's time for Progressives to address forced labor in China, slavery in Middle Eastern countries, and the global sex trafficking pandemic.
So were the Ashanti tribesmen (whose cloth the House Rats wore to show their support for slavery) horrible people? And the Muslim slave traders?
Yet, no doubt this guy supports socialism. Uneducated simpleton
I too am an absolutist. Abortionists are amoral monsters. The author claims the moral high ground; yet he is silent on the daily murder of those unable to speak for themselves.
If he wanted credibility, he failed.
I wish all of these people who think that this country is so immoral would prove their sincerity by moving to some country that they consider morally superior. People have sacrificed their lives for their principles, at least these people could move elsewhere for theirs.
And how do they think that tearing down statues and rioting will change this country’s supposedly racist past?
No excuses necessary. Washington was a great man, a great leader and the father of our country.
GFY Blow you aren’t even worthy of shining his shoes.
What about the people who opposed slavery because they didn’t want black people around?
Mr. Blow, it is very strange that the white Christian West was the first civilization to suspect that slavery was wrong. And pass laws and make war to end it.
Slaves didn’t like being slaves; they fled or rebelled or bought themselves free, but it didn’t change civilizations, i.e. the ancient Hebrews.
And it was abolished one hundred fifty-five years ago. Get over it!
