George Washington was more racist? Doubtful.

“Racism” is a relative thing, and in most instances, it has not one whit to do with slavery. It has everything to do with stereotyping those who are “different”, and that may be expressed in so many ways other than placing another under bondage.

Crossing the street before approaching closely to a person of doubtful aspect, which may or may not include an abundance of melanin, COULD be ascribed to “racism”, but Americans of African descent have been known to do exactly that when confronted with such a dilemma. Are they being “racist” or merely prudent?

One would argue that many Caucasians were also at one time or another enslaved, and highly notable among that number were the Jewish people, who suffered repeated enslavements over the centuries. Other populations, over human history, have been oppressed by tyrants and ideologies, and compelled to be servants against their will. In fact, just such a society, or several of them, exist even today, and they go under the general umbrella of “Islam”.

Since the Current Occupant of the White Hut appears to have a major alignment with Islam, he is also a racist, and a racist who sees nothing at all wrong with imposing a form of slavery, known as “dhimmi”, upon that greater proportion of humans on this planet who do NOT profess Islam as their first choice as religion.
