    George Washington was tormented by his conscience over his slave ownership and particularly by having broken up slave families as a young man. His will was written in recognition of the resistance his posthumous wishes would encounter. History isn't cancelled by taking down a statue. By the same token, taking it down doesn't fundamentally accomplish anything and is simply performative virtue.

    You simply do not understand power, how it's accumulated and how it's wielded.

    The proverbial frog in the pot has better survival odds than you.
    I'm glad we're discussing me again. I don't blame you for your fascination.
    Yes, you're an attention whore. We all know it. Lots of fatherless or weak-fathered men chronically seek attention.

    It's a well established pathology among Low T and physically unattractive men.
    Don't agree with your assessment, but approve of your obsession!
    Unsurprising. Your multiple dysmorphias are well established.
    okay

    This is the best thing you’ve ever posted on this board. Cogent, fair, nuanced, and reasonable.

    Actually, history is cancelled by demanding that any positive discussion surrounding the founding of our Republic be sh*t canned and the only approved narrative is that America is now and always has been racist. That's followed up with tearing down monuments and renaming. Washington and Lincoln did more for blacks in American than say George Washington Carver.

    My favorite is taking down Lincoln. If he isn't safe, nobody is.

    Sane minds prevailing in SF? Can’t be good news for the Authoritarian Left.
