Comment on Old fashioned
jimbolauski@lemmy.world 1 year agoWashington did not fight for slavery, did not advicate for it, and infact freed all the slaves he owned. He was not a champion of slavery. Sanger viewed abortion and birth control as a means to stop the undesirables from reproducing. She championed eugenics, PP was just a side effect of her goals.

You still haven’t answered my question.
Would you consider organizations that honor George Washington to be racist?
jimbolauski@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No because Washington didn’t use the revolutionary war to enact slavery.

He had slaves. And that was racist regardless of his opinion on the matter. He explicitly called for the genocide of natives.

You are definitely going to need a source for that claim.
