That is literally one of the most stupid things I've ever heard. George Washington had NOTHING to do with slaves. In fact it was black people who sold them to us in the first place.

Actually George Washington DID have something to do with slaves. At age 11 he inherited ten slaves. By his death in 1799, he owned over 300 slaves at his Mount Vernon estate. He freed them all upon his death bed. Had to check my facts before I said that, but that said he most definitely owned his share of slaves.

Obama should call them out for disrespecting a president. NAACP pisses me off sometimes. I hope this story goes viral on the internet.

He could care less about anything but his own fame and what certain people think of him.

Unfortunately true. A lot of those loud-mouthed self-appointed "Black Leaders" like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will never acknowledge much progress for Black Americans. They always want Black Americans to feel there is inequality. Why? Simple. Job Security!

They have a vested interest in keeping their constituents fired up, angry or aggrieved and dwelling on the past. No, I don't think American history should be swept under the rug. We should learn from it, but then MOVE ON and stop making excuses and pointing fingers. People need to get over certain things in order to move forward.

Zoom in.

To the left of the box in question are three dudes with no heads.
Scroll around ... you can see the feathered crop.

I don;t know if the incident did or didn't happen.
But that photo is a fake

Many of the Founding Fathers abhorred the institution if slavery but yet still took care of their slaves. Remember, it had been a legal institution for a very long time. The treatment of the slaves did depend on the character of the owners and most saw it as their duty to provide for them, as they came from a very barbaric Africa. Some did certainly abuse their slaves, though.

Highlight that in MS paint and post it, everybody in the pic I'm looking at has heads...One guy is wearing a scarf and the guy in front of him appears to be wearing a hat, the guy closest to the camera is wearing a fedora. There is a lady in the background holding a notebook or paper looking at the men to the left of the statue, then a lady clutching her purse walking away from that woman.

It's in other parts of the image, too, not just there. Look towards the bottom left.

First photo is the establishing shot
Second is a partial zoom and you can begin to see the chop.
Third is a close up.

Similar examples can be seen on the right side as well.

Then you can begin to see the layer that was created and inserted.

Like I said ... I have no clue what happened there that day. I wasn't there.
But the picture used to illstrate it is a fake.

Ah ok you are looking at the panoramic, people moved while the picture was taken, that image is multiple images compiled into one. If people move during or after a shot, they only partially show in the fully compiled image. They might have been standing up and sitting down, chopping their heads off in one pic or some such, I know we had that happen in our highschool panoramic picture and the staff would just edit them out for "being bad" lol

I've chopped panos before. I work in a power plant where space is limited and wide expanses are needed to frame equipment.

Panos are typically done in vertical sections or horizontal sections to have reference/alignment marks, not the center and everything surrounding it.
