And we should also rename all the states because they once condoned owning slaves.

“And we should also rename all the states because they once condoned owning slaves.”

By their “logic”, we should ban blacks because they started slavery in the colonies and they owned slaves.

In 1655, Anthony Johnson, a black man, sued in Virginia to enslave John Casor, a black man, thereby setting up the slave trade.
