Having studied George Washington I would say that Deane is completely wrong
to call GW a racist.  You can look through GW's papers from one end to the
other and you will not find any evidence that he believed black people to be
inferior or even different from whites.  Deane--read my book on GW (there's
a LARGE-TYPE edition!).
