Wait. King George III was AGAINST slavery?!

And yet the British empire carried on (and never truly ended).

Everytime I read the words “liberty and freedom” coming from those early Americans who still owned slaves and approved slavery I legit get heated. What pisses me off even more is that current Americans keep talking about “ we owe that Everyman is born free” so called sacred proclamation and other horseshyt. I’m always like “do y’all realise there were literal slaves living in the country whilst they were saying this shyt. Why does everyone choose to ignore the massive elephant in the room?

They don't consider black folks people

Once you accept that fact, their view point makes sense

"We're talking about North America right now" & "Yes, I know the Caribbean colonies were still active but one thing at a time" does not make sense in a thread titled King George III was against slavery.

My grandmothers mother was born free but her mom was a slave. I met my great grandmother too, that's fukking wild thinking about it
