> The slave owner like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson was in some ways like an extreme version of the modern liberal -- seeing the person of color as needing an authority to rule over them and provide them with things like welfare, access to education, etc.

You’re being downvoted because you chose to regurgitate alt-right theology to lay history’s problems at the doorstep of “liberal guilt”

The largest group of benificaries of public education? Whites.

The largest group of beneficiaries of welfare? Whites.

Dont worry, you can almost always use versions of reductio ad hitlerum to invalidate any historical context or facts you come across which you dont like.

Your ad hominen attack seems especially ridiculous to me as I've never even visited an alt right website or community in my life with the exception of voat--when reddit started mass waves of censorship and politicking--which I havent even since returned to in years.

This is just spin doctoring and propaganda. Otherwise, your "logic" would make this man "Alt-Right." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell

There is an empirical basis to question the effects of “liberal guilt.”
