might better the day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, is he wasn't a RACIST that is...All of the colonies were slave permitting colonies? This is the CRT that is going to be taught in our schools.
The nation you despise is the nation that spent its treasure and spilled its blood to make you free.

Thanks.

How DARE you skip over those 620,000+ who gave their lives. Go back to your ignorant hole.

Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men too great enough to give fame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly, the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory.
They loved their country better than their own private interests; and, though this is not the highest form of human excellence, all will concede that it is a rare virtue, and that when it is exhibited, it ought to command respect. He who will, intelligently, lay down his life for his country, is a man whom it is not in human nature to despise. Your fathers staked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, on the cause of their country. In their admiration of liberty, they lost sight of all other interests. They were peace men; but they preferred revolution to peaceful submission to bondage. They were quiet men; but they did not shrink from agitating against oppression. They showed forbearance; but that they knew its limits. They believed in order; but not in the order of tyranny. With them, nothing
was “settled”; that was not right. With them, justice, liberty and humanity were “final”; not slavery and oppression. You may well cherish the memory of such men. They were great in their day and generation. Their solid manhood stands out the more as we contrast it with these degenerate times.
How circumspect, exact and proportionate were all their movements! How unlike the politicians of an hour! Their statesmanship looked beyond the passing moment, and stretched away in strength into the distant future. They seized upon eternal principles, and set a glorious example in their defense. Mark them!

A portion that this author conveniently left out of Fredrick Douglass’ 1852 speech, “What to the slave is the Fourth of July”. Douglass often was requested to speak on particular topics to abolitionist, church and women’s groups. For this one, he was to speak on what the 4th of July meant to slaves. Douglass, unlike his mentor William Lloyd Garrison, was a staunch supporter of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Unlike Garrison, who wanted the country to restart back to the Declaration, Douglass supported the Constitution and felt that it should remain and be extended to include blacks. Remember, the Dred Scot decision had not happened yet and there was much discussion of whether the Constitution was meant to apply to blacks.
Douglass is probably the most influential black man in American history. Meeting with Lincoln, he is probably the reason that eventually the black troops were commissioned during the Civil War. These soldiers were roughly 200,000 in number and contributed greatly to the success of the Union. However, Douglass is often overshadowed by other important black Americans like Dubois or King, most likely because of his ardent support for America.
The author is suffering from Touré Syndrome, the inability to control the posting of hate-filled nonsense.
Africanization is a plague on America
All the concessions are never enough. Giving them juneteenff did not quiet them down. It made them want more, hate the country more.
There will be another “crisis” before long. It will paralyze the country. Its purpose will be to condition the folks for reparations.
The day Lincoln freed the Confederacy’s/Democrats’ slaves.
Slavery is occurring right now in China and Mooslim countries, but crickets.
Many of the colonies passed abolitionist laws prior to Independence and the King vetoed those laws.
So while the answer to your question is ultimately "yes", that answer rests on a very large technicality. It was forced on us against our will.
And if there were such a word as “slaveocracy”, that would mean a nation run by slaves, not by slave owners. Self-important idiot.
All of the colonies were slave permitting colonies?
And then there’s the inconvenient fact that in 1785 the Continental Congress outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territory, likely one of the first places on earth where slavery was specifically outlawed.
And Toué, just remember, those slaves didn’t free themselves all those black fists raised in the air notwithstanding.
Anyone who finds that offensive can suck a big one. IDGAF.
Evidence of Touré Syndrome.
The irony is that Toure and all of his like minded friends complaining about their “oppression” is that they are all spoiled brats.
Just saying...
