George Washington was a slave owner

I do not care if White history is erased by the Blacks and replaced with their own history.

Your boss should get his money back for how bad you are at this.

True, slavery was legal in all 13 colonies and probably 90% of the world in 1743. Iceland, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Lithuania are about the only countries were slavery was abolished in or prior to 1743. Although China had abolished slavery and re-instituted it a few times, Spain abolished slavery of native Americans, but replaced that with slavery of African Americans 1542, Portugal ban the enslavement of Chinese, but kept slavery legal for other races in 1624. Russia abolished slavery in 1723 but retained serfdom.

A repentant racist who made a hell of a speech against the senate allowing the president to declare war on Iraq.

Are you proud of Strom Thurmond?

True, but in all 13 colonies and most of Europe it was. Slavery prior to that was basically based on who you conquered. But a good point nonetheless. Japan and China would enslave Koreans. The Romans weren't picky, they were equal opportunity slavers. Native Americans would enslave those of other tribes. Even the Aztecs, Maya, Inca, the Olmec and other tribes prior to the arrival of Europeans enslaved other Indians.

When Washington's father Augustine died in 1743, George Washington became a slave owner at the age of eleven. In his will, Augustine left his son the 280 acre family farm near Fredericksburg, Virginia. In addition, Washington was willed ten slaves.

So what is the point in bring it up?

Well because Blacks would like to remove his statue, pictures, and change the dollar bill. Not that I really care.

What is your opinion?

Stupid, idiotic, ****ing stupid. If they don't like Washington's picture on their money they can send it to me and I'll exchange for bills with the Monopoly Man on them.

Maybe you need to learn how to back up your claim instead of acting like a weasel.

The article you posted doesn't mention blacks at all, nor does it show that there a broad movement beyond a few students in Texas. In short, you failed to prove your claim that "Blacks want to remove Washington's statue, pictures and his face on the dollar bill." Maybe you need to learn how to Google.

So let's see how well you read...
