“I believe in teaching the good, the bad, the ugly — and our country was born with a birth defect that we imported from the Old World — called slavery — and we’re still dealing with the after-effects of it,” he added.
Ok, here we go, setting the stage for reparations for slavery.
Defective, like him.
Billions of dollars in welfare over the years isn't enough.
The actual words of Mattiis are both a self-contradiction and factually wrong. Birth defects are not necessarily inherited. Birth defects can result from something going wrong during gestation or during birth itself; e.g., oxygen being cut off.

Further, we didn’t inherit slavery from Europe. At the time, western Europe was the only place in the world where slavery had been abolished. Jefferson, in his draft of the Declaration, said slavery was imposed upon us by Great Britain. In the Catholic world, the Pope condemned the development of a new form of race-based slavery in the New World. So, slavery in the New World wasn’t inherited from the Old World, but a counter-revolution to the Enlightenment taking place in the Old World. Its cause wasn’t its transmission from the Old WOrld. Instead, its cause was the evil that is in man’s heart.
And this guy was the class of the Marine Corp? 500K dead and a country destroyed was not enough and apparently on America can NEVER——NEVER atone for slavery. All of Europe, Asia and Africa-where they sold their own and still practice slavery get a pass. At this point I just have to roll my eyes at these race baiters. Mattis is a globalist and a disgrace to the uniform for shoveling this racist BS.
Mattis was born with two birth defects ; A butt ugly mug and a hyper-inflated ego
I see something more worrying. What are a bunch of top brass doing lamenting politics and being heralded as some kind of great political thinkers. Juxtapose that with a standing army in DC. What’s next with their bag of tricks?
