>I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. - Thomas Jefferson
THIS is what rightness and decency is all about. If you're not protecting liberty, you're not doing anything worthwhile.
God bless America, and before anyone tries to cry "hypocrisy" over slavery, learn your history. Thomas Jefferson literally singlehandedly ended the slave trade as President, and before that as Governor of Virginia the state became one of the first places in the world, through all of human history, to ban the importation of slaves.
And remember slavery was a global institution practiced by every society and race on this blue ball. Thomas Jefferson, more than any other human, may have played the single biggest individual role in ending that age-old colorblind human atrocity. That's what America is. That's what it's ideological roots are. To hell with anybody who says differently.
Gabriel Hill
Anti-Americans don't care. This is a nuanced view of history and most people like their history overly simplified. We should have ended slavery then deported every single last one of them back to Africa.
Josiah Wright
If that is a true quote then he was a hypocrite. God said NOT to swear on his name nor his throne for both are greater than man.
How do you swear on or by a God who commanded you over and over not to swear at all, but rather to say "Lord Willing I shall do this or that"?
Dumb OP then says.....THIS is what righteousness is about.... Yeah...lawless men who proclaimed to know God but refused to keep his law who made decisions which Satan took advantage of to get us to this situation we have today.
Sage this trash.
Jacob Morales
He's not a Christian AKA Jew 2.0 dude. Abrahamic religions are all slavery, even though Christianity is without question the most tolerant of all. Thomas Jefferson was a freemason, and I don't think freemasonry in his time was the same animal it is today.
He's right. 100%. He respected the right of blacks to be free and opposed their enslavement, but our founders understood what Democracy was, and understood that it was mob rule / tyranny of the majority / voting is an act of aggression and exercise of compulsory power. So two groups of people with different views and attitudes and values cannot live under the same government peacefully. That's true. That's just objectively correct. The following 250 years of American history and racial relations, after that quote, did not nothing but vindicate him.
How was he proven wrong about the second part, lol. 250 years of racial tensions in the USA. Jim Crow. Rodney King. LA riots. BlackLivesMatter. Democrats vs Republican and the racial lines those votes tend to fall across. Black people living in ghettos unable to succeed in white western society. Self-segregation. And really self-segregation is the biggest part of it, when you consider that blacks and whites really willfully organize into their own communities, largely exclusive of eachother, minus the few exceptions.
I mean what the fuck are you talking about? Lol. "He's been proven wrong about that second part" LMAO like what are you possibly smoking?
