HylianFox posted... really though what most Americans are taught as "history" has been extremely white-washed with a focus on European settlers and greatly downplays the role of non-whites in the founding of the US you probably still think Columbus was the first person to reach the Americas and was a pretty swell guy >_> This is laughable. On the one hand, political Leftists want us to believe that the American political tradition has been one long history of oppression and injustice, since the white elites allegedly did nothing for racial minorities between 1619 and 1960. On the other hand, these same Leftists want us to believe that non-white minorities played some kind of massive role in the "founding of the US." That's a bold assertion to make, given that there were no non-whites who signed the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the American Constitution, or who even attended the Constitutional Ratification Conventions as freemen in 1787. I can look at this evidence and acknowledge that this shows that minority races have been silenced and tragically mistreated throughout U.S. history. But I can't look at the evidence and say that it shows that minorities were especially involved in the American Founding. --- The men doing the vital things of life are those who read the Bible and are Christians and not ashamed to let the world know it. -Booker T.
