This is such stupid comment.
First...George Washington was against slave ownership...
second... people who make statements like this somehow believe that Americans were like founders of slave ownership. Slaves ownership was a norm before recorded written history. And there are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more slaves in the world right now then any slave owner in rural mississippi in the 17 and 1800's could have ever dreamed of.
Also, slave ownership has absolutely nothing to do with race... it has to do with preying on the weak, remember that, slave ownership then and now has nothing to do with a person's skin color. Not to mention, it was arabs who sold slaves to America back when their was slave ownership in our country.
