I agree with those who say that we need to be understanding of the times of the historical figures we presume to judge. Our Founding Fathers lived in a society that was quite different from ours, and yet they created the best country in the world. Those who damn them for slavery are ignorant of history, since slaves had been a reality of life since ancient times, and likely existed long before recorded history.

You know, I don’t think they’re ignorant of history at all- I do believe they know exactly what they’re doing - emphasizing those parts of history that they know to be inflammatory to to anger one segment of society (blacks), shame and guilt another segment into silence or rejection (whites), and inflame another segment that the land was STOLEN from them (hispanics, illegals).

They know EXACTLY what they’re doing because they’ve studied human nature for decades and perfected it in other countries before setting it off here.

Find the scabs, pick at them, infect them, and then sit back and watch it fester into something ugly, so you can come in and propose the cure. That’s been the game plan for a long time.
