Fox Host: It’s Wrong To Single Out Founding Fathers As Slave Owners Because “Slavery Was Commonplace”
Saying the quiet part out loud, why mention that people owned other people as if it was a bad thing. What these assholes want to ignore was there was a large active anti-slavery movement well established in those times, and that Jefferson himself admitted slavery was wrong, while enjoying the benefits of it. Literally. Hugs
“If you were asked to describe someone, to define someone, to identify someone, to tell their story, you would look for the traits they hold that are unique, not the traits that they hold that were commonplace.
“To the point of tattoos, increasingly, it’s not something that distinguishes you from someone else. I made the joke, if you were asked to describe a pirate, you wouldn’t discuss his hair color, you would discuss his peg leg. You’re looking for what makes someone unique.
“Sadly, underlined and emphasized, sadly, slavery was commonplace for much of human history. It did not set our founding fathers apart.
“What set them apart, their unique description and identifier was their ability to recognize and codify these eternal freedoms and rights in the Constitution and in the declaration.
“That’s the definition, description and story of James Madison.” – Fox & Friends host Will Cain, in yet another report on historical “wokeism.”

I’m now halfway through The 1619 Project. Now I know why they were all freaking out about that book. It lays out in great detail just what was going on in our country between 1619 and now. It’s all so much worse than anything I’d ever heard or read before. No one is “singling out” the founders. They are recording history correctly of everyone alive in the US (and other countries that aided and abetted…often through financing and great profit) for slavery. The founders just happen to be the famous examples.
Having the 20th Century white slave-holder defend his viewpoint is a valuable contribution to the current discourse about the sudden surge of positive feelings about our country’s slave-holding history.
It’s Feel Good-Time for white America’s precious tender sensitivities. Tipping our toe into the warm waters of treasonous lies and we like the feel of it.
Founding Fathers – wealthy men who wanted to maximize freedom for themselves while denying freedoms for enslaved people, all white women, and even poor white men who did not own property. The system of government they setup was a selfish system meant to serve themselves.
When you’re claiming we can do things like outlaw abortion, same sex marriage etc. based on what they wrote or said, it sure as hell does matter.
What made them unique and distinguishable was their hypocrisy. The fact that the same person who eloquently wrote about “unalienable human rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” at the very same time enslaved human beings.
In 1772 a court of law in England declared that slavery had no force in English Common Law. The same law that governed the colonies.
Just putting that out there…
They knew it was wrong then and they still did it. It was wrong to enslave others in their bible but they still did it. They even argued about slavery when making up the constitution and they knew it was wrong and still allowed it.
TRUTH is TRUTH and they are erasing our history and truths
Trump Judge Temporarily Blocks LGBTQ Protections
The New York Times reports:
A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Biden administration from enforcing directives that extended civil rights protections to L.G.B.T.Q. students and workers. The ruling comes roughly one year after a group of 20 conservative state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against two federal agencies for their interpretation of the 1972 landmark civil rights statute known as Title IX.
The lawsuit filed by Herbert H. Slatery III, the attorney general of Tennessee, and joined by 19 other states contended that the government infringed on states’ powers to regulate their public workplaces and schools. The judge, Charles E. Atchley Jr. of Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, an appointee of former President Donald J. Trump, sided with the plaintiffs.

My hubby and I live in Central Florida and we have already begun talking about moving to a much bluer state where we will be protected and welcomed.
I will never forget the word of a Justice Department Attorney telling me on the phone, that he wasn’t going to WASTE Tax dollars on holding those accountable for taking down our US mailbox to harass us. He also told me I had not Civil Rights. This was in the late 80’s
When are these fucks going to realize that every aspect of being a good citizen is expected of us, including paying for admission to a private club we can never enter. Like paying for groceries we can’t eat.
As they do it with such ease.
Hate is not a victimless crime
The feds did it because you wouldn’t. Basic human rights should never depend upon which side of the state line you’re on.
It’s fascinating to me that the same red states which demand the authority to self-govern without having to follow federal directives are the same states which prevent county and local governments from self-governing in ways which deviate from how the state officials want them to behave.
Red governors issued directives prohibiting cities from enacting COVID mask requirements. Red governors issued bans on local restroom ordinances which supported gender identifies. Red governors prevented cities from enacting local bans on fracking and drilling. Etc, etc.

Note also that they have no problem taking federal money but object to the federal laws and financial oversight that come with the money.
I fear we’re going back 30 years on LGBT protections and marriage equality. I see 1/2 the country banning all forms of abortions and contraception, books, gays, women in the work place while of breeding age.
Just the start of our rights being taken away. We will see how our families and friends actually support us. Are they really allies? Watch how they vote. Mine family voted for the orange turd because of Clinton’s pro choice position.
Imagine TWENTY AG’s, so filled with hatred toward their lgbt residents, that they sue the government so they can discriminate and harm those residents! That’s sick!
