Wharfie, Does that make sense? Not to me. Of course it doesn't make sense in today's postmodern society, but back then it was a real sticking point. Even the abolitionists of the time couldn't simply ban slavery without severe political repercussions. Even Lincoln had to tiptoe around the issue until the Civil War got underway. And even after that, he didn't make abolition a goal until two years in. Popular support for abolition wasn't a sure thing until then. To go back and reject the entire founding of the Republic because of slavery is to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and for what? You tell me. History is history. It's never perfect, and there is no historical figure that doesn't have skeletons in his or her closet. Either that, or Colin Krapernick should repudiate his support for Che Guevera because of his anti-gay views. Tenchusatsu
