some of those things are huge bads damn. Bad medical care, deathbed baptisms that were done SECRETLY ignoring the dying persons religion. Here's from Wikipedia: "Sisters were to ask each person in danger of death if he wanted a 'ticket to heaven'. An affirmative reply was to mean consent to baptism. The sister was then to pretend that she was just cooling the patient's head with a wet cloth, while in fact she was baptising him, saying quietly the necessary words. Secrecy was important so that it would not come to be known that Mother Teresa's sisters were baptising Hindus and Muslims." like what the actual fúck?? She had so much money in the Vatican Bank she would have emptied the bank if she took the money out. She also "cozied up" to many dictators I recommend checking out her Wikipedia for more information. It's bad. :https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Mother_Teresa :

Columbus. Fight me. He did NOT discover America. The whites stole the land from the Native Americans. If anything we should have a sorrowful Columbus Day.

It was messier than that and not so black and white (no pun intended). It wasn't all specific "white" races, it was hired religious missionaries and government civil servants, leaders who wanted to settle on the land and build their villages and take more from the Indigenous. There was still trading going on for many, many centuries before s**t hit the fan. It's difficult to know which side started what, and exactly who because both sides were being daft to each other and their own people. Although many immigrant pioneers just wanted to homestead and farm in peace, the missionaries and government leaders filled the immigrant's heads with lies about "aggressive" Natives to distract from the forced assimilation and kidnapping of children to take them to "Indian Residential Schools" to "erase" their culture, forcing Indigenous women into marrying non-Indigenous men and creating "status laws" that stripped them of their Indigenous status identities, and the genocide of villages.

Henry Ford. Sure, he made cars and the assembly line and all that, but he was also an anti-Semitic, racist piece of c**p. He bought an entire newspaper so he could write about how much he hated Jews and African-Americans and their influence on society. Hitler even read his writing. That should say something.

Also Richard Garrett invented assembly lines in the 1850s, for his traction engines.

Andrew Jackson
He stole the Cherokee native lands and forced them on the Trail of Tears , even though the Supreme Court deemed it illegal. He did not care. All because gold was discovered on the land. Greed.

We had to do a project on Jackson, Johnson, and Polk (I'm from NC, all presidents from here are massive shitholes or just not cool) in elementary school about how their "accomplishments" benefited us today, and my group refused to do it (one of the girls was half-Cherokee and told us about what he did, and after some research we all agreed it was b******t and we weren't doing it) and we got sent to the principal's office.

Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill was very racist he hated people with as he said "slit eyes and pig tails" people from India were "the beastliest people in the world next to the Germans" and he also said "he did not think black people were capable or as efficient as white people"

How many of you watched The Crown and had a deep satisfaction when Queen Elizabeth reamed him out in the most diplomatic way, leaving him in the room crying?

Paul Revere. He didn’t even make it to warn the *two people* he was supposed to.

Have you heard about Sybil Ludington? Probably not. Let’s compare:

Sybil:
No military experience
Riding in the middle of the night
Wearing a skirt
At the age of ~18
Rallied 300+ men
Didn’t get caught

Paul:
Military experience
I think during the day
In proper riding gear
30 something years old
Was supposed to warn two men
Got caught

Sybil Ludington was awesome! Riding a horse in a skirt is a whole other ballgame.

Supposedly Gandhi wasn't all that in his younger years.

MLK was reportedly a womanizer.

Einstein divorced his wife to hook up with his cousin, with whom he was having an affair with.

Dr. Seuss apparently married the woman he was having an affair with, not too long after his wife died from cancer.

All this is to say we shouldn't forget the good these folks have done. But we should remember they're human beings and humans screw up. 👍

Thomas Edison. Sure, he invented a few things, but he was more of a big businessman that loved to steal other people's ideas or simply discredit them so that more people would purchase his intellectual properties...

Honorable mention: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Most of their "big ideas" were stolen from other creators and they made billions off of them...

Hugh Hefner.
He was just a gross, gross man with a mansion and allowed some of his porn stars to live with him, living out some sort of caricature version of themselves. Apparently, from what the girls say, the mansion was smelly, gross and sleeping with Hugh was revolting.

Thomas Jefferson. His daughter wrote a book and she was being kind but Jefferson was a big old baby that neglected to do anything about his life. Bonus Sally Hemmings was 1/2 sister to Jefferson's late wife

honestly the only version of Thomas Jefferson I like is the Hamilton one. The whole character is just kinda goofy, but it has some nods to his slaves. They're not ignoring that the people had slaves, but no one specifically says it I think
