I would like to ask this question, is Trump really the worst president, a lot of my black brothers and sisters seem to think so ……. I was surprised at how much “we” think    Trump might just be the worst president in US history, I asked why would “we” ever think so ????? I went to a  place where all of today’s great men go for knowledge, GOOGLE!!  A lot of articles came up that confirm this, ( someone’s opinion). This confirmed to me how much we make decisions, based on slogans and emotions.

I’m going to bring a subject that is sensitive to us black people which is reparations for slavery, not to mention slavery itself, the question is do we really “feel” the way we claim we “feel” about slavery? if so then Trump would be far from the worse presidents.  What is the biggest “wrong” that was done to black people in this country? most black people will say SLAVERY!!!!!!!!!! not only will slavery come to mind but most people will put slavery at the top of the list. Then Jim Crow, followed by discrimination, Police Brutality, racism etc, the interesting thing is that most people will agree with me that everything can be traced to slavery. One must stop to ask the question, arent’ we being told what to feel at any moment? As someone who studied most of the presidents, ( if not all of them) I would hardly rank Trump as the worst president in history. Let’s take a look at why I said that. These are presidents who owned slaves, ( legally, picture of them on the featured  image)

  1. George Washington
  2. Thomas Jefferson
  3. James Madison
  4. James Monroe
  5. Andrew Jackson
  6. Martin Van Burren
  7. William Henry Harrison
  8. John Tyler
  9. James Polk
  10. Zachary Taylor
  11. Ulysses S Grant.

 

All these presidents owned slaves, in fact, George Washington received his first slave at age 11, kids want toys or a  bike for their birthday, well young George Washington got a slave, that should tell us how he viewed black people, etc….. he got a slave on his eleventh birthday…

Yet we are being told that Trump is the worst president in history?   but if we claim what we claim about slavery, Trump should be the last person on the worst president list, are we so forgiving that we are willing to forgive all these presidents, for their role in slavery just to put Trump on that list ??? This is insane!!!!
