White House Releases ‘1776 Report’ That Tries To Erase Legacy Of Slavery | All In | MSNBC

“The report from the White House reads like a sophomore year term paper by Stephen Miller, using images of Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln while defending America's founding on slavery.

Right and the more you talk about what each other has done to each other the more problems there will be for all. Keep living in the past. There are some ignorant racist whites and blacks. Blacks are more actually way way more racist than whites. And that is one reason that whites that I know that hate black people hate them for their hate of them. It's a terrible circle. We need to fight for each other as one country for each other. Hopefully we can somehow come together before another country comes on and takes over while we are arguing amongst ourselves. I grew up no dad on food stps in the hood till 32 years old. I'm poor myself and been to prison and jail many times. Well pen for mass weed trying to pay the bills and survive. But then changed my life and moved away from my friends 20 years ago. I'm not totally happy with my white life at all and feel like the world is against me too. But I do try everyday to make it legit and I am, but it's very rough. Point not all have it great and not all is racist.

[@terryfuldsgaming7995]

@@AAaa-pd4sb i think the issue is that people confuse races with racism. Racism exists, but deciding who the racists are by their skin color is just more racism. Everybody needs to remember what MLK said. We need to judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. If you are a white nationalist, you are a racist. But if you are a black person who thinks all white people are white nationalists, well then you are a racist also. Both positions are judging based on how someone was born. Nobody chooses that.

What she said is absolutely true. I didn't know that Black people were put back into slavery after the Emancipation Proclamation via the Black Codes. This is where "free" black people had to go back to work for their former slave owners. If they didn't they were put in jail. Never learned this in school.

Can't we condemn the '1776 Report' with honesty? First of all, Tocqueville was French, not English, and wrote 'Democracy in America' well after the Founders died; his observations about US slavery therein were thus not the slightest bit contemporary. Second, Tocqueville supported colonialism, and wasn't concerned so much about the brutality of American slavery as he was over the fact that the US still practiced it at all even after every other Western nation had already abolished the practice. Third, the English (and French) knowingly profited off slavery in the States all the way through to the end of the Civil War; in fact, they rooted for the Confederacy to win. Neither nation was phased in any serious way by the institution, nor the manner in which it was carried out. We can discuss the abhorrence of American slavery without making the US out to be some unique historic evil, as the latter is little more than an ahistorical and, frankly, disingenuous attempt to assuage the weird guilt complex some liberals have over being American, and possibly to virtue signal. It's unhelpful, and, not to mention obnoxious. As such, it's a gift to the whitewashers of the nation, and needs to be knocked off.

It was just one of the ways that they were amazed at how liberal and progressive Britain was compared to their home. I had to break it to them that Britain is one of the more self-destructively backwards and conservative nations of Europe. America likes to call itself the land of the free. But it was built by slaveowners who didn't want to pay Parliament's taxes and to this day continues to indenture people to their employers through a barbaric healthcare system.
