:scratch:

Let's see:
  • "You criticize a dead man for changing his name when he converted to a popular false religion 60 years ago"
  • "Mobs of people tear down public monuments because they want to rewrite history"
Yup, those two scenarios are practically indistinguishable from one another. :rolleyes:
Hyperbole much? ;)

[Yes, I "object when people tear down statues of Jefferson, Washington, and Lincoln".]
I was just curious if you were consistent and honest with your opinions. Congratulations! You passed the test. The entire Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory is now yours!

As already stated, Mr. Clay was an abolitionist. Muhammad, on the other hand owned many black slaves, as well as white slaves. In fact, he thought slavery was great. To add insult to injury, Muhammad believed that one white slave was worth two black slaves.
Very interesting indeed! :)
