The history of Washingtons teeth is uncertain. The evidence that those were slave teeth seems to show that the teeth were purchased.
Internet pictures with words are fucking dumb.
I was at the museum at his estate on the potomac; the dentures were there. The plaque underneath claimed it was slaves.
Both conditions apply, was the intent. Teeth from slaves that were also purchased. My wording was unclear, sorry.
It was so unclear, it seems that I am white washing racist now.
Me too, when I called out their childish behavior.
And that's OK! Some people just need to blame everyone else for everything that is fucked up in their own lives. I don't support that, but it is what it is.
