    Use your critical thinking skills. If the slaveowners wanted to rape their female slaves, who was going to stop them? Do you think the helpless slave was able to say NO?
    Here is the scenario: Massa goes out to the Slave quarters one night in March. Nine months later, in December, a young African slave girl gives birth to a mulatto baby that looks just like Massa.
    Is that a coincidence?

    On what evidence do you or anyone else claim the assertions were manufactured?

    From the story that I read, the evidence comes from two wire taps in lamps in MLK’s hotel room which this author supposedly heard. And MLK’s well known proclivity as an abuser of women certainly lends credence to the story.

    I’ll also add that this author previously won a Pulitzer Prize for his book on MLK and his accomplishments. So discrediting him as a racist doesn’t seem very feasible.

    No he does not. He said that "when you are a celebrity you can grab women by the p@@@@ and they let you".

    He was probably right. But he never claims that he himself actually did that.

    you can't grab someone by that body part...if there is enough hanging there to actually grab them by it, you might be getting duped. Also he didn't say that HE DID DO THAT. he said when you're a star you can do anything, including that. If you want to take it out of context (I don't blame you because you guys can't handle the actual discussion of POLICIES), then go for it, have fun with that.

    You can also read online about his notorious cocaine and underage model parties which he held on a regular basis when he temporarily owned the PLAZA HOTEL in New York.

    There is a difference between "illegal", "non-consensual" and "forcible." We have the modern examples of female teachers initiating sexual relationships with under-age male students. While these acts are certainly rape under law, and non-consensual given both the age of the students and the character of the power relationships with their teachers, the students are typically enthusiastic participants in such acts, and may even be the envy of their peers. There is an enormous difference between such relationships and forcible rape, a difference which is certainly not conveyed by the term, "rape."

    So where is the confirmed evidence that Thomas Jefferson regularly raped his slave?

    First, provide the evidence, not opinion but actual documented, verified evidence, that such not only did happen, but was in fact widespread and common.

    There were many, many slaveowners who raped their slaves and fathered babies with them. If they did view their slaves as subhuman, that didn't stop them from raping them. Also, slave women cooked their food and nursed little White babies at their breast. Why would they allow a subhuman person to do that?
    Mistress Anne: Henry, why does Malinda's baby look just like you?
    Massa Henry: I don't know, honey. Must be something in the water. :roll:

    Thomas Jefferson RAPED Sally Hemings. If a slave doesn't have the power to say NO, it's rape.

    Light skinned African-Americans prove it happened. How many African-Americans look like full blooded Africans? Very few. Sometimes the African females would be impregnated while they were on the Slave ships coming over to America.

    No such accusation is being made against yourself. It is merely being asked why the accusations against Thomas Jefferson should be accepted as facts without evidence, while the accusations against Martin Luther King Jr. can so readily be dismissed as if they are nothing.

    Where is the proof that Thomas Jefferson himself is responsible for raping slaves? That is the burden of proof that must actually be met. Not rapes committed by any other individuals, but by Thomas Jefferson and only Thomas Jefferson exclusively.

    In the book "Roots" one of Alex Haley's great grandmothers was regularly raped by her slavemaster's son. She gave birth to a son who was called, "Chicken George".
    It was a common occurrence.

    Are you saying you never heard of Sally Hemings? Google her name. It's all there. Sally's descendants and Mrs. Jefferson's descendants get together for family reunions. They have different great grandmothers, but the same great grandfather (Thomas Jefferson)

    That has been suspected and claimed.

    But never proven.

    You should not state it as though it were proven.

    You should know by now that most of "Roots" was fictional.

    I never said they should be. I would take both accusations as somewhat suspect.

    Such is still not evidence that Thomas Jefferson truly committed rape or anyone. It is a claim, but it is devoid of anything in the way of proof.

    What is being presented on the part of yourself is one of two hypothetical scenarios that would allow for the claim of so-called "mulatto babies" being evidence that Thomas Jefferson raped his slaves:

    Scenario A: Thomas Jefferson was the only white male individual who existed in the united states at the time.

    Scenario B: Thomas Jefferson is the only white male individual who ever owned black slaves at the time.

    Those are the only two scenarios that would allow for the claim being presented on the part of yourself to be factually correct. So which scenario is it?
