Racists and Scum Their founding fathers were racist, and those of them who owned slaves were scum. Blacks fought in the Revolutionary war. Black were also kept from the spoils of victory after their participation in the Civil War, The Spanish American, World War I, World War II, The Korean War, and the The Vietnam War. For any Black to celebrate the white man's founding fathers is for that Black person to identify with people who were vicious towards their ancestors. Self respecting Jews would never identify with Hitler, a man who tried to kill all Jews.
Self respecting people never identify with people who try to destroy their race.
They would never identify with their captors. Presently, the ancestors of those whites who benefit the most from slavery promote the idea that we Blacks should forget about the wicked past actions of their ancestors. We Blacks must say the same. When whites talk about their founding fathers as heroes, we must talk about the slave rebellions with pride. Our heroes were the likes of Nate Turner and Harriet Tubman.
