  • If you disagree post a source that disproves, instead of defending someone that is trying to defend Washington’s slave teeth because he took advantage of slaves to “buy” their teeth. You are a white washing apologist because you are defending someone who was trying to white wash Washington in the comments. You don’t “need to know someone” to call them out on what they are explicitly doing in a comment section 🤣.

    If a racist says something racist in a comment section, you sound like the kind of person who would jump in to say “dont call them racist, you don’t know them” lmao.

    This person was trying to minimize the impact of Washington having teeth from slaves and you jump in to say “they were just arguing a questionable source” and when I say that the info is openly available you responded “Just Google it” is not a source

    You are literally just a racist apologist who wants to be a contrarian. I am done with arguing with people who try to act smart and pretends that anyone who calls them out in their bs is a child. Because calling people children is so mature /s. What you are doing is called being a patronizing contrarian.






  • Washington owned slaves. He was not some moral high ground individual. The only reason why they even got independence from Britain was that Britain wanted to stop the expansion of the territory and the people in the colonies wanted to continue it and kill all the natives.

    Edit:

    In 1784, Washington paid unnamed “Negroes” for nine teeth. We don’t know the precise circumstances, says Van Horn: “The president’s decision to pay his slaves for their teeth may have been a recognition on his part that teeth were something sacrosanct and personal.” On the other hand, being enslaved meant that any economic exchange was inherently not fair.

    He literally took advantage of enslaved people to get their teeth and you consider it as just “bought”. Top tier cracker mindset. I guess that to you it was also fair for him to own his slaves because he “bought” them.
