A Church Every "Tolerant" Socialist Can Love

George Washington’s church to tear down memorial honoring first president

George Washington was one of the founding members of Christ Church in Alexandria, buying pew No. 5 when the church first opened in 1773, and attending for more than two decades.

This week the church announced it was pulling down a memorial to its one-time vestryman and the country’s first president, saying he and another famous parishioner, Robert E. Lee, have become too controversial and are chasing away would-be parishioners.

While acknowledging “friction” over the decision, the church’s leadership said the twin memorials, which are attached to the wall on either side of the altar, are relics of another era and have no business in a church that proclaims its motto as “All are welcome — no exceptions.”

“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome. Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques,” the church leaders said.

Reads like wannabe social justice dogma straight from the Church of Blurt Bitchism.

Good news: it's nice to see even more folks prove how "tolerant" they fancy themselves by showing how intolerant of others they actually are.

The USSR did this at one time, and we called them 'purges'.

So the government is making the church do it are they?

Organized religion will always be flawed, it is arranged by man, and man is flawed.

Those "leaders" are worthless posers.

Logic offers that if America is to truly atone for its crimes of slavery by taking/tearing everything down that relates to slavery's existence in America, then the arch-culprit of the crime should be the prime target: when will socialists demand Great Britain be torn down, too?

Slavery in Mali

Slavery in Mali exists today, with as many as 200,000 people held in direct servitude to a master.

200,000 that's more than half of the number of slaves that were imported to the USA.

I just looked it up... they are all women.

Logic offers that America does not have to, nor should it even try, to 'atone' for its supposed 'crimes'. It's all history, and trying to make restitution to people and time that no longer exist is the most foolish of endeavors. Or should we be looking at finding the modern day descendants of Neanderthals and Cromagnons, and all that shit too?

But he's still your president.

Africa too. After all, most slaves taken from Africa were abducted by other Africans.

Now! Where to start...

Africa too. After all, most slaves taken from Africa were abducted by other Africans.

But the tribal nation-states in the main slave trade region of Africa that sold those slaves to the slavers didn't engage in systemic chattel slavery, the debts of which is all on America's ass.

Please do remember that Africa is a gigantic continent of many diverse countries, cultures and peoples. Were it the unified nation of one single hive mind that many deluded people like you believe it to be, America and the world in general would be completely different, trust that.

 

[Libsam]

3.1% of the slaves during that time were sent to North America.

Also, while we are weighing the injustice of slavery.

Does the West get some bonus points for the Industrial Revolution, and the invention of mechanical farm equipment?

 

[Libsam]

Africa too. After all, most slaves taken from Africa were abducted by other Africans (who were technically Semitic Arab-Africans).

Added a bit for clarification.

Zumi, what are you trying to say?

That agriculture was practiced before the industrial revolution and the invention of mechanical farm equipment?

I agree, it is pretty obvious that people practiced agriculture before the Industrial Revolution. I don't think anybody (who's not a moron) would disagree with that.

There we go, the black guys' fault.

So, anyway. How much was that contract worth, that you so stupidly lost...?

Black and Arab. How do you think African slaves were sold to slavers for transport to Europe and America? They were abducted by other Africans. http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/41431

I can find a lot of other links that say the same thing.
