Well, that's certainly your prerogative. But we "finer," more discerning gentlemen prefer our immigrant woman breast milk to come from non-shithole countries, my friend...

So did Thomas Jefferson. You're in good company...

Jefferson FuN fAcT: Sally Hemmings was his deceased wife's half-sister! Same daddy. Different moms. Hemmings looked just like Jefferson's late-wife; her complexion wasn't much darker, since Hemming's mother and her mother before her were basically concubines of Jefferson's in-laws. But Sally Hemmings was younger than Jefferson's deceased wife. And he owned Sally Hemmings, so her participation in their...um...affair could never be considered voluntary.
Anyway--that's your Jefferson FuN fAcT for the day. Whatcha drinkin'?

At the very least, being honest about Jefferson's flaws doesn't diminish his accomplishments. Unless you actually want to be propagandized...
Andrew Jackson though was a monster who shouldn't be honored by anyone, anywhere, at any time.

ago, and, while taking the tour of the slave quarters, he asked the docent where Sally would have stayed.
This was well before the Jeffersons had their kumbaya moment and admitted the truth.
Let's just say the docent, a Jefferson progeny, neither appreciated nor answered the question.
January 13th, 2018 at 10:57 AM ^
Jefferson scholars still try to deny it, even after DNA testing confirmed the relationship between Hemmings and Jefferson descendants.
January 13th, 2018 at 10:46 AM ^
I love how many of the Jefferson family and friends just hate and deny and deflect the Hemmings stuff, many still to this day. The guy liked (and probably loved) one of his slaves (when she was a teenager). So what? A huge proportion of slave owners did, as immoral and exploitative as that is. It's just a fact. Accept it and move on...
January 13th, 2018 at 11:02 AM ^
One time, I actually heard one Jeffersonian scholar deny the relationship by saying, with righteous indignation, "That's not the Jefferson I know!" Uh, yeah, considering he's been dead since 1826, YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY ACTUALLY KNOW HIM!
January 13th, 2018 at 11:54 AM ^
Once you start deifying a historical figure as infallible or flawless (something that has literally never happened), you are no longer a historian.
January 13th, 2018 at 11:56 AM ^
Yup--you become a hagiographer.

He loved him some Sally Hemmings and weed.
"Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see".
January 13th, 2018 at 10:50 AM ^
So, you're saying all black folks like weed and black women? Allow me to retort...
January 13th, 2018 at 11:57 AM ^
It was meant to play on the common perceptions/misperceptions.
The truth is I have two close black friends and they don't smoke weed. I probably partake a handful of times every year.
I meant to employ irony and hope that folks know that was the case.
BTW, I was really proud that my father bared the emperor at Monticello.

If Michigan had lost two underclassmen wide receivers in one week, it would be the lead story on Sportcenter - and every talking head would be jawing about how our program was crumbling.#smh

French-pressed French roasted coffee. I buy beans and grind them in-store, so I never get a country of origin for this one, but my assumption is it's a Mexican, since Mexican coffees reveal delightful chocolate undertones when French roasted. Also: I did a wake-and-bake.

If you're a French-pressing man – and perhaps a lover of ritual – you might as well go the extra mile.
