Despite purportedly owning slaves, which was customary at the time, Washington was truly great man. He was the right man at the right time. Slaves, slaves, slaves... GET OVER IT! Every race on earth has been enslaved to another at some point in history. The very word slave comes from Slav or Slavic Slavery is going on in Africa today, wheres the outcry?? Race and racism have become cottage industries in this country, generating billions of dollars annually for the race-baiters. Therefore it will always be with us. If racism were eradicated, there would be no use for the likes of Jackson, Sharpton, McKinney, et al.
