I have read of the controversy about Sally Hemmings, if this is what you're referring to. I'm not sure the issue (no pun intended) is settled. I head there might have been one child, and that the relationship was a mutual one.

Even if this is true (which, afaik, is not certain, but I could be wrong) does not change anything.

So you're saying his writings mean nothing since he was guilty of miscegenation?
