Horny History: Harry Washington
Horny History: Harry Washington
It’s real history, as told by some horny dude in my inbox and me.
This post contains sensitive content on the enslavement of black peoples by an American “hero”. Reader discretion is advised.
Harry Washington doesn’t have his face carved into a mountain, or even appear in most Washington history books. The man who enslaved him and so many others got that honor. It’s not much, but at least one more horny man knows Harry’s name. Anthony joins us as I tell his story.
Please note that “Harry Washington” is the name Harry chose to use after running away, as his birth name and culture had been erased.
The picture is exactly what you think it is and it’s not our Harry Washington. Although, it is hairy.
I wish I could tell you that was the end of Harry’s hardships, but unfortunately in Nova Scotia he awaited frigid temperatures, poverty and a lack of food. Harry eventually moved to Sierra Leone where he helped set up a colony of free people of color.
I would like to live in a world where Harry Washington was our past president and the one monumentalized as a great leader instead of his capturer.

Also, I wrote on George Washington’s call for the genocide of Indigenous peoples here:
By the way, if you’re reading this, could you give this content a heart for me. It will help me boost my Substack if more people engage.
"Just making small talk" got me 😂
The more of these I read, the more of a pattern develops. It's almost like these guys have a switch that you can almost audibly hear as they tune out of what you're saying and go into their default "p----y hunt" mode. Some seem more genuinely interested at the beginning, others are full-on bulls in your china shop and others are obviously humoring you with vague responses until "bam!" the lights go off and they are solid gone... Must be exhausting to be you.
