Protesters cover UVA’s Thomas Jefferson statue in black shroud

The attempted destruction of American culture and history continues apace.

 

Well, Jefferson was a racist and a rapist.

 

lol yah the defense isn't that those allegations are false, just that they don't matter

 

Jefferson was a Muslim?

 

He was definitely a racist, that is true. But there is no basis for calling him a rapist. Sally Hemmings returned to America with Jefferson voluntarily, according to her son, Madison Hemmings.

 

The rapist allegation is definitely false.

 

Some of these youngsters need other things to do to keep them occupied. They are putting too much energy on time on things that will not benefit their lives.

 

More of the emotion generation looking for some attention. None of them are fit to wipe the ass of someone like Jefferson.

 

100% TRUE; he was a serial rapist.

 

Slaves, by dint of their slavery, have no volition.

 

Yup.

I called this last month.

The Memorial in DC is next...

 

And genocidal and a slave-holder.

 

Since Jefferson founded the University of Virginia let's shut the school down.

 

I think Jefferson was the most overrated of the Founding Fathers, Rich, but I have to agree with you.

As for myself, I couldn't care less what a bunch of "progressive" nihilists think. Jefferson did an enormous amount of good for our state and our country and his numerous flaws don't warrant his erasure from our History.

 

It's the destruction of white American history. They don't really care that Jefferson was a racist, or a "rapist" (not true), they care that he was white. They don't like that whites were the one's primarily responsible for building this county. That's what bothers them. Racism and rape never stopped the left from wearing Che Guevara t shirts

 

So he didn't have kids with his slave?

 

No, he was not. Sally Hemmings could have remained in France where she was legally emancipated but chose willingly to return to Virginia with Jefferson on condition that any children they had would be emancipated.

 

Genocidal? How?

 

He probably did. But he did not rape her.

 

Pretty funny how the left judges historical white men (and only white men) with their post-1960s sense of morality based on cultural Marxism. This is really just "critical theory" Frankfurt school tactics, though

 

So was Bill Clinton and no one seemed to mind.

 

I believe you made this claim yesterday and after pondering it for a day I believe you're right. Anything white is going to be attacked, just like that reporter in MO.

 

She was property. You think she had the right to say no? Lol

 

Soon to be taken down and destroyed. Sad.

 

Only by modern definitions. By that standard you must want to destroy every monument in Washington DC plus change the name of both our capitol and a certain NW state.
