Good grief! Will this be before or after the Thomas Sowell biopic?
Imagine thinking anyone will make a Sowell biopic. Idolizing contributors to society is taboo. Hell, NYC just took down a statue of Jefferson because it could be harmful to black and brown people. You read that correctly, they took down the statue of the president who ended the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade because he inherited property through marriage that had slaves.
I saw that but I didn’t expect anyone to read into his history. Back then slavery was very common and quite a few of the founding fathers agonize over it. They made a document that would eventually abolish it. If I was in charge of education I’d require that slavery would be taught from a global perspective. Too many people think it’s something unique to the U.S.
