Some people claim his "greatness" makes the slavery forgivable.

Some people claim his "greatness" makes the slavery forgivable. | When I was in school, they taught me that George Washington's dentures were made of wood.

He still founded the US
That doesn't change anything

Literally nobody is claiming otherwise; swing and a miss.

OP claiming Washington deserves hate and not praise
That's not true. He did great things, and I don't think slavery should overshadow that

Again, nobody said anything about hate. You're making shit up and then whining about how emotional you made yourself.

Don't have a whole lot going on with your weekends, do you?

Wow, so now your triggered by punctuation. Have you considered turning the screen off, going outside, and working through some of your personal issues?

Don't get me wrong. Your whiny, misguided anger is hilarious, but it isn't healthy.

So you think that making things up and then whining about the things you made up is how you analyze text?

One is only supposed to use quotation marks when they're...you know...actually quoting someone.

You'd know that if you were half as smart as you're desperately trying to convince me you are.

Could the mod who removed my comment show me the part where there was hate speech? I didn't say anything about hating African-Americans at all, more or less the British. Unless you thought me talking about how it was normal for a wealthy family in the south to have slaves-- that's just true facts. I wasn't taking sides there. Back then that is just how it was.
Or, maybe it was just me being proud of the U.S of how far they've come. No hate speech whatsoever.

The total number of people killed by Nazis is less than the number of Native People killed by Americans. Yet you told me I should be grateful to live in a country that was built on the dead bodies of my people. If you can't tell how hateful that is, stop commenting.

I in no way meant to be hurtful at all, and I'm sorry I made you think that. That's just what happened, and neither you or I can change that, but as you wish, I will stop commenting.
