I'm pretty sure most here already know this...but just in case you don't:
The 'founding fathers' and their thoughts on race:

Not suprised in the slightest tbh
And why am I not surprised? Especially by the one by Lincoln... People don't realize that the Union were just as racist as the confederates.
And this is why I am believing more and more that that it were the black rebelling Gullahs that forced the central American government to end slavery and not the civil war itself which was really about stopping the confederates from succeeding.

There are some non racist founding fathers as well.
I'll add Lincoln isn't a founding father in the slightest, why was he included?
The funniest thing to me is the complete lack of flack the constitutional framers get for meeting in secret to illegal depose the standing government (articles of confederation) and imposing a new government (US Constitution) which they weren't voted on to create, had no authority to write, and had no authority to impose. The US Constitution taking effect was truly a coup

The Henry Berry quote alone is threadworthy. It should be taught to every black american and used as a rebuttal against these "lots of people were slaves" idiots.
People try to equate our slavery to other peoples' slavery but they're wrong. No group has EVER been systematically targeted for psychological destruction like the black man has.
Very much so, it speaks to the reason for the caricatures played out from Jim Crow to this present day
