These Founders believed it was consistent with their “Christian” faith to own other humans, rape them (and if they became pregnant, thereby add to their property), sell their children, mutilate them if they tried to escape. Do we imagine our nation has outlived this Sin?
Every “Founder” with a red dot over their face “owned” enslaved Africans. That’s over 75% of them. That’s why Frederick Douglass in 1852 raised the question “ Whose #IndependenceDay are you celebrating?” In Rochester, New York. #FourthofJuly #July4th #happy244th

The master planned to construct a giant outdoor park featuring statues of the greatest masters who had ever lived—a place where future peasants or young masters alike could find inspiration. “And God willing, one day my own statue will rest among them.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump
This man is *obsessed* with statues. Nobody cares about American/Confederate statutes more than Donald J Trump
