Why would it change how you see Washington?

From mountvernon.com

Deep within one of Washington’s account books is an entry which details Washington’s purchase of 9 teeth from “Negroes” for 122 shillings. It’s not clear if Washington intended to use these teeth as implants or within a new set of dentures or if he employed the teeth at all. While this transaction might seem morbid to a modern audience, purchasing human teeth was a fairly common practice in the 18th century for affluent individuals.

Well, he didn't do a very good job following his own advice; he's still a typical liberal when it comes to trump and bill's wife.

So, technically George Washington was part nigger? My amygdala is raging off the charts.

... I didn't have any response to any of those "facts"... nor were they previously unknown to me... I did rankle at his presumption of what I know...
