I wish more people understood how damaging quoting is when its devoid of storytellers.

I don’t give a damn what narrative progressives push. I’m proud of every founding father, whether he owned slaves or not.

I appreciate your thoughts, but we live in a fact-free world. To keep thinking we can counter emotional ignorance with facts about long-dead, “old, white men” is the definition of insanity.

I was going to say Sam Adams, George Mason, and Patrick Henry.

I think Mason owned slaves though.

Clearly, Democrats owned more slaves than Republicans ever did. That should shut down the argument, but Democrats will find something else to argue about.

Really study the USConstitution. It is an anti Slavery document.

How about don’t play their game at all?

I don’t give a crap about their ‘slavery’ narrative.

Hi.

Imho liberals, progressives, democrats etc. wake up each morning believing that history is just starting. They have no concept of the world in the 17th century.

As you know the Left monitors this forum extensively. So, I will state a fact, and will get some interesting replies...

Most of the Founding Fathers had “indentured servants.”. Not slaves.

Learn the difference...oh, nevermind this posts was for liberals.

Good thought, but I am similar to another poster.
the vast majority of people understood slavery was a way of lie and accepted it then. OF course there were many people who found it an abomination, but the entirety of human history is filled with slavery. Only recent history has most of the world decided that slavery isn’t good. And more so in the Western world.

“I wish more people understood how damaging quoting is when its devoid of storytellers.”

I wonder, do I wish I understood what you are talking about?

Proof that the issue is 100% fake:
Biden’s family owned slaves.
Harrises family or huge slave traders owning as many as 200 slaves at a time.
