Oh, I left someone out.

Thomas Jefferson.

Not only a president, but a Founding Father and one of the greatest political minds of all time, who was also a religious man, YET was also a philanderer and a hypocrite extraordinaire, proving to be highly flawed in the moral department, stated:

“and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s G-d entitle them,”

(I guess he did not consider Africa to be entitled to the same)

and

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”

(Again, in the case of Africans, that was not the case. I guess when it comes to money, morals can be compromised. He had “employees” but no payroll)

who

Also engaged in activity with his slaves that would have him labeled a criminal today having to register, seriously, as a offender as per Megan’s Law.

Believe it or not!
