It's on twitter which I can't link to because Musk is being a gay bitch right now but her tweet literally is just "the Constitution was written by slave owners," that's it, there's no attached commentary. It's a bad faith argument masquerading as a trivia fact, as though slavery is so bad that everything the Founders did needs to be discarded because they owned slaves.
She's a retarded nigger and the only reason she's an American and not a rape-slave in Uganda is because her great-great-great-great-grandparents were sold into slavery in the first place. The Constitution is more important and more significant than anything produced by any other race, slave-owning or no. It's possibly our species' crowning achievement (until we colonize exo-planets).
These slaveowners seem like pretty cool guys.
We should build some statutes to celebrate them.
Now tell her to look into African slavery. For the history of most of the world slavery existed. Move on
Yea I hate how they act like they broke some major news. Honestly just have kids watch the Sowell video on the history of slavery.
This is all these idiots have. They need to be someone who gets some special recognition for something, anything really, because they've been raised this way, or know their life lacks any real meaning.
Many people are content with how their life is. Many are content, ish, but still work to improve things,m while understanding to some degree that they have a place in the wider world and don't need to be some groundbreaking pioneer with everyone speaking their name. Many even might be actual pioneers in a subject but aren't narcissistic fakes who only care about whatever prestige might come their way and are actually getting on with the job rather than blogging about it 24/7.
Every Wokie needs to be the one others are listening to, the one to come up with a new -ism or -phobe/phobic buzzword. Every. Single. One.
Which does little except generate social bureaucracy with no actual value because it's a giant pyramid scheme made out of a house of cards.
Especially since they were revolting against the Empire that established slavery here in the first place, it's very bizarre to blame them and not the UK
Slavery was all about extracting value from colonies. Colonialism. You needed that input to get the gold, so the UK was all about it.
And the only reason she's alive right now is because her ancestors were one of the few lucky ones to end up in America.
Rather than, say, Central/South America. Or the Middle East. She wouldn't be saying much of anything, because her ancestors would be dead.
Say 'Thank you', Nina.
Remember kids; Out of all the slaves taken out of africa, only 3 to 6 percent actually made it to America! The rest? Well...
We would have been better off if we had never bought a single slave.
I've paid my reparations by just having to listen to this racialist nonsense for several years.
Wait till they find out who wrote the Magna Carta or who was the first person to bring restrictions in that essentially banned slavery.
It's the most retarded thinking that just because a person has a checkered background or not going in with the best intentions, means that their actions can't be for the benefit of all future generations.
Also dont tell them that most of the Founding Fathers were against it and did what they could to try and overturn it. Or that Jefferson pretty much set up "All Men are created equal" with the knowledge that it conflicted with Slavery and thus the argument would eventually have to be settled.
But no. We must destroy Jefferson and Washington because they kept their slaves. Please ignore that Virginia had a law that made it virtually impossible to free your slaves even if you wanted to, and both engaged in legal shenanigans in their wills to sidestep it as much as possible (like Washington "gifting" his slaves to relatives in states that just so happened to not have such "eternal slave" laws).
Well said sir. Didn’t Washington free his slaves upon his death? Also Washington’s former slaves took care of his grave for the rest of their lives. Clearly he must have shown them some compassion. Also he said he wanted to see an eventual abolition
Not all of them, but as many as he could. Same with Jefferson.
And I remember reading that Jefferson originally put lines in the Declaration of Independence vehemently opposing slavery but had to take those out. People today don’t realize that they debated fiercely over slavery during the founding and the 3/5 thing was a compromise
They're so ignorant that they take the exact opposite position on the 3/5 clause. They say "I WAS ONLY CONSIDERED 3/5 OF A PERSON". First of all, you're no slave (except to your appetites and emotions), so no. Secondly, you make it sound like you'd be happy if slaves were counted as 1/1 of a person... which was the slaveholders' position cause they wanted more representation.
Exactly. Walter Williams had a good article about that. There were some who tried very hard to end slavery at the founding but that was the best they could do. It’s idiotic to ignore the fact that once slavery was very common across the world so then even debating having it abolished was fighting against the common views.
Who are you talking about?
Your broader point is valid.
The Magna Carta was a charter that promised the protection of church rights, protection from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown and was put forward by rebel barons
The left would ignore the content of that and focus on the barons that kept a surf class working under them as 'the oppressors'. NO ONE is good enough for the left no matter the result of their actions.
Oh, they wouldn't mind the barons keeping serfs. Those serfs were white, after all, and therefore cannot be used to create divisions and political power in the present.
There are many clear counterpoints to this, but I feel like we won't turn the tide against these people until we can just say, "so what."
I don't care that George and TJ owned slaves, I'm over it.
"Slave Owners invented Democracy, thus Democracy bad
Old white men fought war to end Slavery, thus slavery must be good.
Probably although I don't think it was Americans.
When you finish crying a river of tears, it's time to build a bridge and get the fuck over it.
False. AOC did not write the US constitution.
Nina Turner is the epitome of "room temperature IQ."
Seriously dumb twat -- I have gone back and forth a couple times with her.
But she certainly plays the role of "media lapdog/race-baiting useful idiot" well.
She keeps shilling for the Democrats, even though they repeatedly sabotaged her...
The yeast is allowed to float to the surface when fermenting is done. A small amount is saved for regrowth, the rest is separated and destroyed by distillation. Does the yeast notice? Does it care? No, it does not. It continues to ferment again when transplanted to a new barrel.
Same example applies here.
Where’s Ike Turner when you need him?
Founders is a pretty cool guy eh shoots up the british empire and doesn't afraid of anything.
Link to literally anything at all to substantiate OP's claims?
God have our standards slipped that low that someone can just post a claim without anything to corroborate it happening and people will just accept it at face value? Get your shit together.
I gotchu
You're doing god's work sir.
