		<description><![CDATA[It has nothing to do with &quot;caring.&quot; Their public actions are what&#039;s important to their professional lives. In the political/public lives they expressed and advocated universal liberty. They did as much as they could and were often rebuffed by (a) Britain before the revolution (b) one or two states that threatened to bolt if the issue was pressed. I could list the various successes they did have starting with the most important: banning slavery from the Northwest Territory (which included land donated by Virginia). If this momentum lasted we would have led the abolitionist movement. Sadly it dissipated by 1820. 


This is not unusual. Reagan came into office advancing liberty but by his reelection it stalled. We on the right argued it was due to a Democratic House. It wasn&#039;t. Subsequent Republicans did little for liberty and increased government. This became obvious when Republican controlled both Congress and the Presidency under Bush II ... and they increased government significantly. That was our 1820 ... liberty is dead. We lost the momentum and we are sliding backwards. We could talk about Republican lacking the virtue ... but they lost their principles and courage.]]></description>

You&#039;re on the right track but we need a bit more before you denounce Washington. Maybe he treated his slaves poorly. There are accusations. You can build on that. You&#039;re not quite there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s a bit to vague. There are worst statements in terms of bogus collectivism but you&#039;re still focusing on irrational radical views of history.


Which atrocities specifically? Failing to remedy the institutional atrocity of slavery is not an &quot;atrocity&quot; that you can assign to individuals without showing direct cause.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of all there are many multiracial countries that aren&#039;t &#039;white&#039; countries. 



But yeah because of the fault of human nature many people do identify with people of the same heritage which i&#039;m assuming you mean ethnicity. The goal is to overcome ethnocentrism and the immorality it leads to not close ourselves off to everyone who doesn&#039;t look like us which is what it seems like many conservatives are doing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where in my comments did you come to believe i hate any race or that I am a black nationalist? My comment which was about the objective fact that Africans were seen as not worthy of rights. George Washington had no qualms about forcing his slaves to work long days and lashings, this is a fact. 


Now if you think my comment promoted hatred of race or black nationalism how on Earth do you not see white nationlism and resentment of minorities in the comments to any article about race here?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Prager, here is a good little reference for you to get an actual idea of what some of our promenent founders felt about race particularly blacks. I do not make any excuses for them. I think they were great men, even great white men. They understood the nature of humanity and understood the differences inherent in races. Fred Reed has a good article at Taki Mag today describing his thoughts on being called a racist. &quot;So what.&quot;, I love that answer.

&quot;The American Colonization Society was only the best known of many organizations founded for the purpose of removing Blacks from North America. At its inaugural meeting in 1816, Henry Clay described its purpose: to “rid our country of a useless and pernicious, if not dangerous portion of the population.”[23] The following prominent Americans were not just members but served as officers of the society: James Madison, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster, Stephen Douglas, William Seward, Francis Scott Key, Winfield Scott, John Marshall, and Roger Taney.[24] James Monroe, another President who owned slaves, worked so tirelessly in the cause of “colonization” that the capital of Liberia is named Monrovia in recognition of his efforts.&quot;

Deal,with those facts please.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No you don&#039;t. You love Mugabe because he shares your race hatred and desire for vengeance instead of reconciliation. Far from being actual racists, the founding fathers had a long term goal of abolishing slavery, a goal that was achieved in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution immediately after the end of the Civil War. So enough of your black nationalism. ]]></description>
