You think Thomas Jefferson was somehow a good man because of the story y’all tell about Sally Hemmings? She was a slave. There’s no consent when you’re ‘owned’ by the man who’s bedding you. He was a vile, white supremacist, slave owning rapist. Whitewash the story all you want.https://twitter.com/wasserman_neil/status/1119960925518299136 …

Sorry are you claiming that the concept of self determination didn’t exist before Jefferson?

*Sigh* "The revolt of the British colonies in North America has been defined as the first assertion of the right of national and democratic self-determination in the history of the world." Started by...The Declaration of Independence. Read more: https://www.americanforeignrelations.com/O-W/Self-Determination-The-american-revolution.html#ixzz5ln7XgHJX … …

Thanks. Great scholarly source there. FYI national self determination not the same as self determination per se. Don’t even get me started on the frankly hilarious suggestion that a state denying rights to more than half its people was democratic.

Show the proof lady or STFU. Your PhD in history ain't worth the paper it's printed on. You're a fraud.

You make a well-argued case, thanks.

It wasn’t mandatory to own in-slaved Africans, it was a choice, Thomas Jefferson chose to own them, that displayed a huge character flaw in him.

There was, at least, one other ‘founding father’ who tried to get the others to free their slaves. These powerful white did not want to answer to other powerful white men. They were not interested in freedom for all. They were all ethically bankrupt.
-
Naej, they didn't try sh^*.. Show me historical records or events where some founding fathers were opposed to slavery.........How in the hell do you oppose something, you don't see as humans?.....

Benjamin Franklin owned slaves and believed that Africans were inferior. But he also believed that there should not be slaves in the US after the Declaration of Independence. He is reported to have freed his slaves.

I do not give credence to any European who allowed slavery day
For most of Benjamin Franklin's life, he held beliefs on the inferiority of Africans that were in line w/the predominant views of contemporary Americans.Did his views soften? Yes. But he did not see AA as equals. -
My original tweet did not address this point. I ended it by stating that the so-called founding fathers were ethically/morally corrupt. I was pointing to the fact that Ben Franklin recognized the dissonance in their declaration not that he was a good guy.

My acid test for anybody who claims that some Europeans wanted slavery to end, I always ask,what did it cost them? How much did it cost them? If that disjointed subset of group or groups didn't cost them as much as it cost my ancestors, for as I'm concerned, u were just as guilty

I understand that point of view practically and emotionally!

But one thing that a man does can overshadow all else. Owning slaves is one of those things. Not much good can live in person that takes part in such cruelty of another human being. Happy Easter from a free folk.

The "founding fathers" wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, with only white men in mind, period! They justified their vile, barbaric behavior, of brutally enslaving other human beings, by declaring those human beings as Godless animals! Yeah, real great!

Try to apply this logic to those behind the 9/11 attacks publicly, and see where that gets you. Go in front of the Jewish community and apply the same rules to Adolf, and see what it gets you. Show video evidence of you doing so....
