And had 6 children with one of them.

That might be 100% true or 100% false. No one living today knows which.

All published DNA analysis on this topic has proven kinship but has never proven (nor disproven) paternity.

For people who haven't read about this, it could have easily have been Jefferson's uncle who was father.

Exactly. Neither one actually supported slavery despite being slave owners. (In fact, they both abhorred the practice, as did most if not all those actually considered Founding Fathers of this country.) They were merely products of their era.

Wow, in Topeka even. Maybe there's hope for KS.

Honest to gosh, I don't even fcking care one way or the other. Just relaying what I was taught in American History. If Jefferson WAS a racist old fck it still wouldn't be proper to tear down his statue. It's HISTORY. Some people here take themselves way too seriously.

Heck to the Nth degree. Lebron, most of the nba, everyone in blm, Bite'em, and a whole lot of Blacks are racist too so why aren't they appalled at that. Is it because they don't have any statues erected of them? Or is it that it's okay if Blacks are racist but Whites can't? Like Bite'em said, "we don't only have standards, we have double standards".
