Question:
Why did the Progs eliminate all reference to black patriots in the Revolutionary War? Why do Dems keep it up?

There were quite a number of Black Contributors to the Revolutionary War and in other ways. All reference of important Patriots through out the years has been pretty much scrubbed. The Contributions of the few mentioned are pretty much scrubbed of patriotic efforts and many of their praise of the Constitution as an anti Slavery document for all man kind. Scrubbed of their objections to different treatment determined by race. Scrubbed of their comments concerning moving on without bitterness and making a place in this country in which all residents were fortunate because of the freedom the Constitution provides to all. Scrubbed of references concerning the continuing struggle for individual freedoms for all in this country since before the Revolutionary War itself which included black men. Free Black men who were seen and treated as equals and were great contributors in so many ways to the USA. WHY?

Simple, they need to defame the founding fathers and the Constitution because it gets in the way of the Globalist busting out of the USA and taking everything individuals own in it. It's one of many tactics and Bernaysian psychological group control techniques used by progressives, or Progs for short, to steal this country from the people. The Constitution is in their way.

They want to marginalize the great African American heroes of the revolution by making it appear that all blacks were oppressed by the founding fathers. A deliberate smear on our founders and our country.

If you want to fundamentally change the country you must first make people not like the country and its founders. This is the overarching reason for leaving out proud and patriotic Americans who's story goes directly against the progressives large scale goal.

It's pretty dishonest to tell school kids there were loads of great black heroes in the American revolution when the vast majority of the black population were slaves and half the 'Founding Fathers' owned slaves.



It's denying history and trying to pretend that America was perfect from the start.
