That sounds like what I was told in school up here in Ohio.
Sorry… you’re saying that makes it true? That’s terrible reasoning. You probably were taught all kinds of things about drugs in Ohio which were complete lies.
You were also probably given a far rosier picture of American history than you should have been. Or were you taught, if you were taught about her at all, that Sally Hemmings loved Jefferson and wanted to be with him despite the fact that he never actually released her from slavery, suggesting he knew better. And despite the fact that even if the slave loves you, you still probably aren’t giving the slave the choice to say no when you want sex, what with them being a slave.
But I know I sure wasn’t taught that Jefferson raped his slave that he paraded around as his mistress in my grade school.

Calm your tits, sir. History has always been my least trusted subject. It’s written by the victors after all.
What are you on about with drugs? Who tf is Sally Hemmings and why should I care?
Seriously?

You should care that one of our revered founding fathers kept a slave mistress that he raped when other people are trying to deify them.
Also, you should care about black history because it’s American history.
What the fuck can I do about long dead guy and his long dead mistress? Shit’s over with. Focus on today.
You can remember her. Like you can remember other people who were part of the black history of America.
Or are you saying black history isn’t important?
I’m saying history isn’t important. Don’t fuckin race bait me. I live in the now.
This is what you said after I tried to tell you who Sally Hemmings was:
So it sure sounds like you’re saying history isn’t important. Living in the now when you don’t know the history is how past mistakes are repeated.
Well gee, now I know not to keep a slave in my basement.
Is that really all you think there is to learn?
