Ya' all arguing over stupid stuff... Tom Jefferson was one of thousands of slave owners... That is the story here... The entire slave trade from Africa to the docks of Charleston, S.C. or Alexandria, Va. is the story here... The fact that families were broken apart and people kidnapped and sold is the story here... The fact that the South was willing to call it quits to protect these practices in the story here... Jim Crow is the story here... The Greensboro Massacure is the story here... The Civil Rights movement is the story here... The fact that descendents of slaves are still housing in little reservations (housing projects) within oor country is the stroy here... Affirmative Action is the story here... I mean, this is waht ecuated people should know about...
Arguing over one particualr slave owner as if winning that angels-on-the-end-of-a-pin is the real story is stupid and diversionary...
