    George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many others wrote that slavery was evil – but still continued to own slaves.

    I know , it's well documented , but its 50/50 with me depending on the issue historically.

    Condolezza Rice is and maybe many things but a ? aint one of them

    The ? is a Republican, she's a Aunt Jemima by default.
    they shouldn't be able to fake their history

    But they are lying about their history. They're real quick to tell you that their failed insurrection wasn't about slavery and the foundation of their would be nation wasn't to built upon racism and white supremacy.
    Let these monument of their hate and fuckery stand to remind them of there ?

    Racism, white supremacy, and slavery aside why should taxpayer dollars go towards the maintenance monuments built to memory and honor of treasonous rebel ? who engaged in a failed insurrection?
