The Democrats here in York, PA still call their annual banquet the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, named after two slave-owners. To be consistent, they should change that, maybe to the Wilson-Roosevelt dinner, after the founders of modern progressivism.
The appropriate answer to this issue is SO WHAT?
That was then and this is now.
Eliminate all the memorials. Then at the next government shutdown, they wont have to put any barricades up.
...to be replaced by a W.E.B. DuBois Memorial
George Washington owned slaves most of his life. I suggest this well known fact justifies, in fact commands, a change in the name of our Capital Washington DC.
How about:
Roosevelt DC?
Fonda DC?
Sharpton DC?
Obama DC?
Karl Marx never owned slaves. Maybe we should start revering Karl!
Let’s start with removing Robert KKK Byrd’s name from everything.
The Demonrats claim Jefferson (with their Jefferson Day dinners) don’t they? But Jefferson was a individual-rights conservative who would abhor the socialist Dems of today.Oh yes, I know he had slaves.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

Thomas Jefferson and Slavery
Thomas Jefferson was a consistent opponent of slavery his whole life. Calling it a “moral depravity” and a “hideous blot,” he believed that slavery presented the greatest threat to the survival of the new American nation. Jefferson also thought that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, which decreed that everyone had a right to personal liberty. These views were radical in a world where unfree labor was the norm.

The American Taliban won’t rest until their properly defined racist past is eradicated. While we are at it lets see some major racist Dems from history:
Woodrow Wilson
FDR
ALL Dixiecrats
Harry Byrd
Richard Russell
George Wallace
Bull Connor

This is all about the manipulation of useful idiots feelings. Create a mob mentality around a percieved injured feeling, do not use reason or facts. Stoke the flames as see what damage can be created. The leftist love this. The only ones that stand up to this are reasoning sound conservatives. And this allows the leftists with the wicked and evil mms to run conservatives all over defending the foundation of society, while the leftist rip it apart.
A better question would be, "Should CNN be prosecuted for treason because they routinely showcase avowed Communists and anti-American Radicals on their unwatched network?"

While Slavery was an Abomination, consider this, if there had not been slavery what would the black population of the U.S. be?
If you look at the % of Blacks in Europe, it about 2 to 3% at the most, not much more than that. I would assume that is the population from natural migration from Africa.
The same would be probably even less for the U.S. from natural migration.
In the 1953 Reece Commission on Tax Exempt Foundations they found that the Carnegie Foundation had been trying since 1909 to change the way United States History was taught. The Rockefeller Foundation was assigned International History.
Sounds like they are still at it. Only this time they are really trying to just eliminate US History altogether.
This is straight from WU/commie playbook.
Lets just get rid of the Constitution while we are at it. And the American flag. Hoist the star and Crescent because as OKenyan reminded us the US is a Muslim nation.
