I've chided others for trying to change the subject. Now it's your turn. We don't need that argument again.

Are the Brits planning to march in Washington? I don't see what the point is.

To clean DC up. Of course, they need to break through the outer defensive ring, err, I mean slums.

+2 if they try and take Detroit again.

Where's your General Cornwallis now?

Our belief in free speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression is never more tested than when it is applied to a group some may despise.

I have absolutely no interest in what this group has to say, but I will support their right to peacefully and legally say it.

Couldn't have said it better my self. And you have the right to ignore them or refuse their political/belief they may have

Free blacks certainly could own and trade slaves, but small in comparison to large planters. In certain cities some wealthy blacks were more integrated in the white community, Charleston, NO, etc, but were never seen equal to whites.
