So a Black man who writes for The Atlantic in NYC gives us his opinion of the Virginia Governer's vocal slippage in not originally declaring slavery as a cause of TWONA.

He certainly has a right to his opinion, I would hope that for the sake of a better understanding of that history he desires to know that he dig much more deeply than A politico with his foot in his mouth because some of his claims in this article are way off base too. Otherwise I would place him along side that same politico in that he is nothing more than a parot of/for those on the other side of the fence! Which makes him part of the problem rather that part of the solution!

BTW welcome back ironfoot you've been missed. ;D ;)
