The WaPo is on the front line of white washing America’s history. May be the WaPo owners descendents, owned slaves and they are trying to protect themselves by condemning others. Those sneaky leftist.

I’ve noticed American Blacks are famously disinterested in the role of Africans and Arabs in the slave trade.

Omg. I loved the plantation tours I took in Charleston. They were all very honest about slavery and explained the lives of the masters and the slaves very respectfully to each. No preaching, no shaming, just honest history. I did want to hear the good and the bad of both histories told honestly, and I felt they did an amazing job.

Slavery was a historic fact and should be discussed honestly. However, slavery ended a century and a half ago and 50 years ago the civil rights acts ended the Jim Crow era. All of this is history, yet Democrats keep whipping up the slavery issue for votes. It was the Democrat party that supported slavery, created the Klan, passed Jim Crow laws and fought against the civil rights acts. It is time that there is an honest look at history.

This reminds me of our visit to LBJs home near Johnson City, Texas.
The tour guide must have made over one hundred positive statements about LBJ. Since I am a bit of a history buff I knew for a fact that _every_ _single_ _statement_ was a bald-face lie.
For anyone interested in the real story of LBJs life, Roger Stone has written the masterpiece on the subject:

Then they should definitely avoid Yad Vashem.

Garbage Hussein Obama seeded the National Park Service with those types.
