He tried to base his comments about "dignity" in he authority of the founding fathers when in fact there was no mention of "dignity" by the founding fathers.  Actually the founding father listed the inherent "Rights" as "life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".  The fact that the founding fathers could endorse slavery at the same time they claimed that all men are endowed by god with the right to "liberty" is recognized as a joke by everyone today except the most extreme of the white apologists.

How can you not see how ridiculous his claims were?  Who would argue that living in slavery is "dignified" and a life of "liberty".  It is a joke.

God did not give the slaves "liberty" the federal government did.

Still waiting on the link where Thomas said "slavery wasn't that bad".

I guess we will just leave it as you cannot understand the difference between being treated with dignity and having dignity in yourself (you claim you have to be given it).  Thomas used dignity as that was the central focus of the love story that was written in the majority view. Thomas acually explained the difference between dignity and liberty as he assumed some would try to draw the feeble coralation. 

Nowhere did he state slaves did not lose their liberty. He stated they did not lose their dignity or humanity. Pretty sure, contrary to the opinion of some around here, Thomas is not in favor of Slavery.

You also never told me who gave you your dignity or why you consider Thomas a White Apologist?
