I wanted it to be funny but it wasn’t.

Agreed. Tired of race jokes. Either side of color line.

Same.

If his audience thinks it’s funny to refer to our Founding Fathers as rapists where do we go from here.

The history of any civilization is fraught with inequities. Dominant peoples achieved their dominance by dominating - that’s just reality.

We all have our share of ancestors who dominated but we all have our share of ancestors who were dominated as well.

While we are at it, shall we study the DNA of black ancestry and figure out which tribes sold which tribes into slavery?

This is ridiculous. A giant oak tree doesn’t get that way without sucking more than “its share” of water, air and sunlight away from competing flora and fauna.. and perhaps occasionally dropping huge limbs and crushing it’s smaller neighbors below.

Does every successful endeavor owe reparations for its success?
