Heh, I rub one of those coins every day! (It was my dad's 25th...:)
I can't say I disagree, but I am compelled to say that personally, In my own opinion, I have never seen slavery as America's "Original Sin". I tend to see slavery more as Mankind's "Original Sin".
I am nearly done reading the Bible for the first time, cover to cover (I have been hung up for months in Romans) and if I am not mistaken, slavery goes back to very close to the beginning as written. If Prostitution is indeed the "Oldest Profession", Slavery cannot be that far behind it.
Er, my dad’s 15th coin...not his 25th! Brain cramp!
Conceptually, I agree with all of this.
The wild card is:
Progressives are blaming the United States and have been for a long time now openly saying the United States has had 400 years of slavery.
Its mathematically impossible, I know. But math is just as racist as the United States to these people. And these are who control the schools.
The US didn’t do anything in 1619 it didn’t exist.
It behooves us as those who love America to point out the one and single entity who could possibly be guilty. It can only be one. There’s just no other options. It isn’t Rome or Mesopotamia or Egypt any other ancient.
Virginia in the year 1619 has exactly one option and that will be true forever and infinity. The Empire. For guilt, it is just simply the only option in the year 1619.
