The conversation about monuments — particularly which should stay and which should go — has eclipsed nearly all other conversations in the week following a rally-turned-near-riot in Charlottesville, Virginia.
CNN's Kate Bolduan spoke to liberal analyst Angela Rye on Thursday, asking her whether the uproar was truly just about the monuments.
Rye claimed that the problem ran much deeper than that:
..
Rye concluded her argument by asserting that America was very close to once again being a nation of slavery: “We definitely need to learn about it so that we don't repeat it, because we're very close to repeating it right now.”

Why on Earth would any sane individual even have CNN on with their ignorant horseshit
this is about delegitimizing voting and the constitution.
delegit voters
delegit trump
delegit history
delegit the country.
These idiots need to give up American citizenship, and get British citizenship instead, to demonstrate their rejection of the gift that George Washington gave.
Well, yes. I call it the New Slavery - the urban plantation locking people into welfare dependency, high crime, substandard housing and education, and a total lack of jobs in their community. This makes them completely dependent on the new slave owners — the progressives — for everything in their lives, and the progressives own them.
At lest in the 1800s, Massa had them listed as 3/5 of a person. That’s 3/5 more than the progressives consider them to be.
Communist Nazi Network.
More enemies outing themselves daily.
“They’re gonna put ya’ll back in chains.” —Vice President Joe Biden
Yes, Joe, that is exactly what you and your allies intend to do.
I've long said here on FR that when the second American Revolution (or Civil War II) starts, the very first casualties MUST be the lying liberal lamestream media. Period.
That is the ONLY way the truth will ever get out in this country. Terminate them all.
In fact, when some colonies tried to abolish it, King George would not allow them to. That was one of the reasons for the American Revolution.
Note to CNN analyst:
Washington was a prime reason the United States so you can shoot your mouth off without being executed.
Erase the history and erase the proof that if ever happened.
Airports must divest CNN.

We need to “learn about it”? What ELSE have we been hearing about every hour of every day for year after year after year?
The Civil War ended more than 150 YEARS ago. GET OVER IT!
The Confederate States of America are a part of our heritage. They are a part of the struggle.
“She’s not entirely wrong: illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico, comprise a very underpaid servant class here in California”
They weren’t brought here and no one is making them stay. At least they work for a living. Taxes go to pay folks to sit around, get fat, and whine on their taxpayer provided cellphone. But that does keep them voting democrat. Who is the slave?
The Alternate World lives
This woman thinks she doesn’t owe Washington anything. She also acts like she, herself, was a slave.

But actually, these idiotic CNN rants display pure ignorance--which may be deliberate. They fire for effect, not truth.
These people fundamentally hate American values. The "slavery" issue was never really what they suggest. Nor was it something introduced by the Founders. In one form or another, serfdom, slavery--named such in reference to the feudal condition of much of the Slavic world--or the Biblical "bondsmen" are simply different reflections of the way people handled the need for labor.
It was never an ideal system; but it was judged not as an absolute, either good or bad, but as any particular society applied it. The debate over it came long after the first settlements and the first importation of slave labor.
Part of the opposition to such labor actually grew out of philosophic discussions in which founders like Washington & Jefferson took part. The real problem was over how to handled emancipation--and resulting side issues, that we still have never completely faced.
But to understand, both how contemporaries saw some of those side issues, one needs to revisit the testimony of those who lived in that era.
Here is Booker T. Washington's testimony:
In this day and age, expecting people to work for wages so they can provide for themselves is “enslaving” them. Anyone who doesn’t want to gorge our underclass with free fast food to the point of diabetes is a “racist”...
