Should we now quit referring to President George Washington as the “Father of our country” ? Should we remove his face from our money? Should Washington state change its name to Sambos? Perhaps Washington DC could be renamed Fried Chicken. Washington owned slaves at one time.

Yes, all of what I posted above was ridiculous but all this race crap is just as ridiculous.

I am not a racist and never have been, but there are some Blacks and their damn helpers that better pray that people like me don’t change our minds.

“Washington owned slaves at one time.”

Washington owned slaves his entire life. His slaves were freed upon his death, Martha’s were not.

Martha’s slaves went to her children, one of which was GW Parke Custis, Robert E Lee’s father in law.

Lee and his wife inherited the slaves upon Custis’ death in 1857, with the stipulation that they all be freed 5 years after Custis’ death, and they were.
