It never ends

quote:

Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) marked Independence Day by tweeting an article from the progressive news outlet Salon, condemning the Declaration of Independence because the document “did not condemn slavery, protect the rights of women or include Native Americans.”

In her post, Rep. Pressley tweets an article, entitled “Fourth of July’s Ugly Truth: The Declaration of Independence is Sexist, Racist and Prejudiced,” quoting its criticism of the nation’s Founding Fathers:

“Our Founding Fathers were not the living gods that many believe them to be. They were fallible human beings, and some of their flaws had terrible consequences for people who were not fortunate enough to be born into privileged groups.”

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) both “liked” and shared Pressley’s post on her Twitter page.

If they would actually learn history and not create new history it would be refreshing

It's amazing how progressives want to destroy any person or artifact that somehow isn't up to social values and beliefs of people hundreds of years in the future. At its time, the Declaration of Independence was the most revolutionary document the world had seen.

That's like saying Christianity is sexist and racist b/c countless people were massacred and enslaved by Spanisih conquistadors.

I guess she doesn't realize 10% of the American troops in the American revoluation was AA.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. It's not just that they are ignorant. Ignorance is an ESSENTIAL ingredient to their success. They are ignorant and it is essential that their constituents be ignorant. That's why AOC never learns from her mistakes. If she learns, her political brand ceases to exist.

If this country was actually like they say it is, these people would have been stood up against a wall and shot a long time ago.
