Biden's UN Ambassador: ‘Sin of Slavery Weaved White Supremacy Into Our Founding Documents and Principles'

[LI] President Joe Biden’s UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield says America must acknowledge its own failures before it joins the UN Human Rights Council.

"I’ve seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles," declared Thomas-Greenfield.

"When we raise issues of equity and justice at the global scale we have to approach them with humility," she said. "We have to acknowledge that we are an imperfect union and have been since the beginning and every day we strive to make ourselves more perfect."

"My great grandmother, Mary Thomas, born in 1865, was the child of a slave, just three generations back from me," she said. "I grew up in the segregated South, where I was bused to a segregated school."

"On the weekends, the Klan burned crosses on lawns in our neighborhoods," she continued, explaining that she shared these details "to acknowledge on the international stage that [she has] personally experienced one of America’s greatest imperfections."

Our Founders were not perfect, but I do not see slavery anywhere in our founding documents.

You’ve read my blogs where I praised Thomas Jefferson’s careful crafting of our founding documents. He wrote "pursuit of happiness" instead of property. "Creator" instead of God.

#1 Actually it 'wove' victimhood and entitlement into our modern-day society. Our "documents and principles" are rapidly being modified in support of this popular leftest theme.

A similar 'blame game' has been playing out in the former states of colonial Africa for decades. Many hold with the theory, had European colonials not attempted to exploit the continent, it would not be the kakhole it is today.

Cultural memes, the downside.

#2 Strange that 'sin' hasn't repelled 30 million illegals nor black immigrants from coming to this country.

#4 This wave is of Central and South Americans. The pre-Cortez Aztec line was a damn good fence against 'migration'. See - I left my heart in Tenochtitlan.

#6 This wave is of Central and South Americans.

And Africans, Asians, Middle Easterners, Indian subcontinense... The doors have been flung open, and those with enough money are paying their weekly charter flight fare plus several thousand dollars to the coyotes to grab the opportunity before another Republican president slams it closed again.
