re: George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Francis Scott Key....

LOL Now you've done it. Bringing religion into the race and socioeconomic discussion. Here come the fireworks.

But you're spot on BTW. Propaganda from everywhere. Truth is based on the perspective of the source. And some sources fail (many times willingly) to see all the fact; especially if they don't support their "truth".

I asked someone yesterday the same thing. I guess all Catholic churches and Jewish synagogues are next. The colonization of the Americas, slave trade, and support of the founding fathers to commit treason and allow slavery to flourish in this country was mainly supported financially by the Catholic church and Jewish bankers in the Denmark and surrounding areas.

Careful Warrior, that kind of talk could be construed as Facist, neo-Nazi dogma.

See how easy it is to find reason to be offended if one so chooses? I'm not condoning the history you describe, but if I choose to be offended, I am living in the past and am held prisoner by it. It becomes a crutch that explains every failing in my life so I don't have to accept my responsibility for my circumstances.

I am also not making light of the systemic racial inequities that are no doubt present and prevalent. Those things must change so people of color don't have to work twice as hard to attain the same recognition of others. I simply use the above to illustrate how it has been taken and continues to be taken to the extreme.
