For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

And . . . shouldn't the people who today call themselves "Hispanic" be held responsible for the atrocities of Cortez, Pizzaro, and others?

That's different though.

They're "POC" and thus automatic members of the victims of white males class
The world is made up of two classes, white males and victims of white males.

It might be a good time for President Trump to say something like, "On behalf of the Republican Party, I'd like to say 'you're welcome.' The Republican Party, of which I have the very great honor of being de facto head, ended slavery in this country almost 250 years after enslaved Africans first came to these shores. In addition, Republicans granted citizenship to the freedmen, and recognized their right to vote. It took the next hundred years to secure those rights against the white supremacist views of Democratic Klansmen, and other benighted souls. So to everyone who ever benefited from that, which I believe is all Americans, 'you're welcome.'"

You should be a Trump speechwriter.

They already got them convinced the Rs and Ds switched places in the 1920s. I guess some sort of secret meeting or something. Ask any recent college grad, they know it for a fact that today's Rs were/are the slave owners and klansmens

I've spoken with the President about that, but we both believe I am more urgently needed where I am – helping to produce quality content for his beloved Gorilla Channel.

I thought I heard it happened in the 50's and 60's. 

It almost seems plausible from a distance maybe, but Texas didn't start voting in Republicans solidly in state elected offices until the 1990's.

I think they use whatever date range is convenient for them at that moment
