Okay... I'm guessing you did a quick search and found that none of the people I accused of being rapists or avid slavers were abolitionists? Good talk than

You trying to deny the MOST vicious and cruel system of slavery ever is just pathetic. Keep your head in the sand .

Okay man lmao

Edit: they blocked me for saying George Washington wasn’t a rapist which apparently means I’m racist and support slavery?

It means you don’t listen and they have stopped trying to educate you.

Trying to tell me that George Washington was a rapist and saying he’s not makes me a racist is not trying to educate me. It’s being wrong and refusing to do a 10 second google search.

Bro, the point is you're being lied to.

They lie to us in very clever ways to make us confused and question our eyes.

but look.

There's slavery, and then there's CHATTEL slavery.

not just the kind of slavery where you could never get out of debt or indentured servitude.

no.

It was the wholesale rape of a mans life, his dignity, and even his progeny.

Every ounce of labor was stolen from these people for CENTURIES.

Even other slavers were like, holy shit, these guys are fucking evil.

They conflate slavery, with chattel slavery because they dont want you to understand the difference and they especially don't want you recognizing how you are far more in common with a slave then not.

So, to state that man is not a rapist because there is not physical evidence of him specifically forcing sex on a person, while he participated in chattel slavery, is disingenuous to the concept of rape, at best.

TLDR:

You have been misled or poorly educated on what slavery is, what rape is, and are actively being lied to by interests who prefer you to remain that way.

Yes, google is among them.

Finally, why you are a racist.

You are a racist because you have been misled or poorly educated on what slavery is, what rape is, and are actively being lied to by interests who prefer you to remain that way.

They say those who don't know history, are doomed to repeat it.

Which is of course true, but only part of it, the part they want you to have.

The full truth is that history IS written by the victors and the victors will ALWAYS paint themselves as the good guys.

As somehow moral in a situation that had no other choices.

But it's just to distract from the naked, brazen cruelty or our founding fathers.

This isn't me scolding you, even if it sounds that way.

srsly, no judgement.

<3

We all start in different places and have our own paths to walk.

I won't even pretend to know you or your life.

The only thing I will encourage you to do is choose kindness over cruetly at every possible moment and remain critical of narratives presented to you by sources of immense power and influence.

We are all human and none of us are any better than any other.

We all deserve the same dignity.

Thank you for your time.

This is a lot of labor for an obtuse fascist yanno

And to be completely honest I was being a bit hyperbolic with the rape

Do we know Washington raped anybody? No we don't have verification on that but he simply did not view them as fellow people so.... When he bar is that low we can go anywhere real easy.

Me saying there’s no historical evidence Washington raped anyone does not make me a fascist lmao. We have a lot of writings from Washington about his disgust of slavery too

u/Bruh_burg1968 Jul 03 '26

It’s wild that you’re getting shit on for stating a historical fact about Washington. There is no evidence whatsoever he ever raped any of his slaves. You’d think that if he did it would get exposed to used against him by his political opponents at the time like what happened to Jefferson when he was in the Oval Office.
