Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Ulysses S. Grant are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. ''In addition to the inappropriate use of a talk page as a forum, you need to be schooled in history. If you don't know your history, you aren't woke. Wake up!''

 * His father-in-law gave Grant a slave, William Jones.
 * Grant worked side-by-side with Jones.
 * Within less than a year of receiving Jones, Grant freed him.
 * Grant did more to free the Confederate slaves more than any other man, save Lincoln.
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Sounds like wikipedia hates black people, given that protesters yesterday in SF pulled down this white man's statue. That was a huge effort to make changes in systemic racism and the de facto apartheid of American cities.
 * You prove my point. When a mob of any color, in the name of BLM, pulls down a statue of a man who literally fought against the Confederate states & was instrumental in freeing the slaves there, they prove their ignorance. Ignorance is the antithesis of woke.
 * It would be far better to build up black cultural icons in our monuments than to tear down statues of allies. Peaceray (talk) 18:40, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
