Soooo... Celebrating those who formed a country that utilized slavery = good?

Celebrating those who wanted to break off from said country to keep slavery = bad?

I'd love to hear this logic.

Uhhhhhh no.

Did, or did not, Washington fight a war. And found a country that kept the institution of slavery.

Why do you think the War of Independence was fought?

True or false: The revolutionary war started because Britain wanted to end slavery

I didn't say it was fought over slavery now did I?

But he did keep the institution of slavery active.

True or false: Washington kept the status quo of slavery going and allowed slavery to prosper in his newly founded country.

So he fought a war and slavery was left unchanged.

Not fought a war to keep slavery intact.

Do you understand the difference?

He wasn't an all powerful king. There were a few others involved.

Sure do. I never said he fought a war to keep it intact.

So why give a man who founded a country where slavery is legal a pass? Slavery was just as evil in 1776 as it was 100 years later.

Shouldn't some of the burden be laid at the feet of the man who helped found a country where slavery is legal?


And no fricking shite it wasn't just Washington. But as the defacto leader he could have nipped it in the bud.

I don't think people give him a "pass" per se. There is just a legitimate argument to keep a statue of someone like Washington over someone dressed in confederate battle gear on a obelisk.

That is beyond laughable.

He thinks Washington was some sort of untouchable hero that everyone knelt down to.

Omfg. I'm being SUPER OVERLY SIMPLISTIC. No shite Washington wasn't the only one responsible. No shite there were a frick ton more people that had to do with it.
