#so the people DO need to know!#american history#black history#founding fathers#thomas jefferson#every day i hope thomas jefferson is rolling in his grave bc that's the least he deserves and one more old white male historian trying to#justify his abuse and rape is going to actually send me over the edge i think i talk about this on a weekly if not daily basis im so fr#that also goes for:#george washington#henry laurens#john laurens#john laurens because he was an abolitionist who DID benefit from slavery and you cannot ignore that even if he might have done more in#a longer life to advocate for the end of slavery AND free his own slaves. but he died so who's to say#james madison#the schuylers#and thereby#alexander hamilton#is it on a sliding scale how guilty they were as individuals? sure maybe#there is nuance#but you have to think critically and examine history in all its parts even when part of an anachronistic fandom bc revering SLAVE OWNERS#is insanely harmful. cause WTAF#either you are a literal child or you are grossly uneducated and implicit in racism yourself. get educated. jfc#i didnt mean for this to all be in the tags i guess i could've actually written about it but it got out of hand#choosing to ignore that the founding fathers owned slaves IS racist#bashing my head against the wall#colonial america#i mean this isnt even virtue signaling or like an attempt to criticize others for their lack of knowledge. it is a lack of empathy.#a lack of humanity. bc we are talking about millions of lives spanning hundreds of years#ruined. murdered. raped. systemically colonized and their family histories taken from them. it is an ONGOING ISSUE! to ignore that?#i am sickened
