Well the difference between Madoff and 45 is that Madoff fucked over the rich. 45 with his fake university conned the middle class and poor. With slavery it is even worse because it isn't just about stealing money, it is about vile subjugation of a fellow human on top of making money off of your abuse of them.
I don't know how more bluntly I can put it, SLAVERY IS WRONG......... I don't see how anyone can equate the Civil War to the Revolutionary War.
Now idiot, nobody is or should justify Jefferson owning slaves. But between the North and South the North started the end of slavery as imperfect as our system was back then.
"Jefferson owned slaves" still does not excuse keeping symbols of the South.
You sound like an asshole who gets pulled over by a cop and say, " Bu bu bu officer, other people were speeding too and I was just moving with the flow of traffic.
Now what makes you think I advocate ignoring Jefferson owning slaves? I don't. I am saying that the North started the end of Slavery and the South wanted to keep it.
Now we are on to Financial crimes by Bernie Madoff and traffic violations. I am well aware slavery is wrong and that the south wanted slavery, I also think Jefferson was wrong in owning slaves but none of those things is relevant to the point I raised. I also didn't say anything about you advocating for Jefferson owning slaves.
So on top of blacks being abused they still got rich? Ok, sorry I forgot, they all got punched in the face but their owners gave them a cut in the profits. GOTCHA.
No your point was to keep the Statues of the South and falsely accusing me of ignoring the climate of the Revolution which I do not and will not. I am saying the North STILL was the geographical start of the end of slavery.
It still remains between the North and South at the time of the Civil War only the South was fighting to keep it and in the North it had long since been ditched. And the founders though they didn't get the end of it at the time, did pave that route.
