It's not always about a mans failings. It's about what a man does to correct his failings trough a willingness to change and see things differently. It takes a lot for a man to stand up and say "I was wrong. What I did was wrong. I can't take it back but I can be better from now on out." Don't you think?

I dare you to make drastic extreme statements and try to enact legislative changes in government. Hint: it doesn't work, this isn't a dictatorship.

Washington was working within the system.

Sounds like he was working within the system to enact meaningful change. Pokesan would probably preferred a ruthless dictator's approach.

Whether he owned slaves or not is moot, I don't see any other big slave countries like Italy or Greece bashing the ancient philosophers and Emperors over their ownership and continuation of slavery.

Its a fuckass thing to do to sully the founding fathers over this.
I'm sure I would be like Hillar--*aghem*--Washingtons a Liar! If he was running today.

Certainly not. Statements like that would be suicide. The people no longer value the honesty and difficulty of being upright about ones actions. Now it's lie and spin spin spin. Granted. He said it more with his later actions and stuff but I would never expect any politician to do that.

Odd, I don't recall you making a big stink about slavery other than slapping the US over it's slavery long ago. Long ago like when I mention democrat filibuster of the civil rights act and you said some thing like that was a long time ago, right?

Slavery existed long before the US, and the US was one of the first countries to end slavery, and with a lot of blood to do it. And I just find it odd you and lots of people slap down the US in such issues yet never speak of the some 40 million slaves around the world right now. Some of which:
Quote:
Slavery flows into our homes, offices, and schools through many of the products we buy. Slaves harvest cocoa in West Africa, and it ends up in our chocolate. Slaves make charcoal in Brazil, which is used to run smelters that make steel for our cars. Many food products and raw materials are tainted by slavery—such as tomatoes, tuna, shrimp, cotton, diamonds, iron, sugar, and gold. http://www.freetheslaves.net/about-s...slavery-today/
And I'm not even touching on the modern form of slavery for the US within the prison industry (Which I've mentioned here but not in detail) of which has it's owe labor force (to take jobs away) that puts most slave labor countries to shame not only with low wage but full care and edu which you get to pay for.

And all the illegal aliens flooding into the country, for cheap wages! They are a cheap work force, much akin to slavery. The borders are 100% wide open right now with a catch and release policy. Simply because the libtards want votes, so they advocate a form of slavery in our country, and giving such people an alternative to rising up in their own country to fix the horrible problems there. And that I do big-heartedly wish they would do, as I've walked through the slums beyond the southern border, beyond the party towns constructed for tourists.

Families living in bare ply-wood houses with dirt floors, I've seen these things while doing volunteer work down there, it's horrific. And all the US does is add to the problems by it's border policy, even allowing in dangerous criminals along with them that cause us grievous harm, even murder us.

And so you don't care about Washington's opinion, rlly?!? :/

no one gives 2 dicks about west Africa tbh, its 3rd world.

Brazilian slavery is the more relevant modern issue at the moment, as a member of the BRICs block.

BRICs are expected to be civilized to a 1st world standard.
