And for no reason at all…
Ah yes my favorite commonwealth, Sylvania.
This is just getting ridiculous. The state was named for him FFS!

I forgot they called themselves that. Out of curiosity I looked up the difference.
There are four states in the United States that call themselves commonwealths: Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The distinction is in name alone. The commonwealths are just like any other state in their politics and laws, and there is no difference in their relationship to the nation as a whole.
So the Commonwealth was named after him and it's still stupid as hell to take down his statue.
To some degree, Penn recognized the injustice of slavery. At one point, he proposed that slaves in Pennsylvania be freed after a certain period ...
Even if he owned slaves, he did eventually abolish it there.
Things were what they were (in any particular time period). History is history, whether it's good or bad, I'm sick of them trying to erase it. Fuck their fee-fees!
What are you talking about? Philadelphia was founded by based blacks who immigrated from Wakanda.
When are these cultural appropriators going to replace him on bills?
