Columbia University Students Cast Thomas Jefferson in KKK Hood
Bogus Times ^ | 4-22-17 | Kim Parkhurst

Posted on 04/22/2017 12:39:08 PM PDT by BogusTimes

Black students at Columbia University protested a campus statue of Thomas Jefferson last week by covering the statue, which stands in front of the journalism building, with a Ku Klux Klan hood and posing with signs disparaging Columbia University for celebrating the legacy of a man they regard as a white supremacist, hypocrite, rapist and a “symbol of violence against Black and brown bodies and their consciousness.”

The group protesting, Mobilized African Diaspora (MAD), compiled a statement of complaints on its web site condemning the 103-year-old statue of a Founding Father and principal author of the Declaraton of Independence, Thomas Jefferson himself, Columbia University and white people in general.

He's so racist, he had a romantic liason with a black woman and had them all freed when he died!

Jefferson freed a few slaves, including some who may have been his children. He didn't free most of his slaves. They were sold off to pay his debts when he died.

Jefferson was hardly a limousine liberal! He had no illusions about human nature. He saw the evils of involuntary servitude; but he also correctly saw the problems of a mass emancipation without proper preparation.

His understanding of a Welfare system, that could actually work, demonstrates the clarity of his vision--very, very different than that of those to whom you compare him:

Jefferson On Welfare.

Would that we had more of his like, today! He would have excoriated the people you suggest!

Yes, I'm sure pointing out blogpimps and blocking speeders
is a huge sin and I'll reap the ill rewards of such heresy.

The money has to be pennies. Blogs are usually about being noticed. I don’t know what is worse, attention hound A or attention hound B.

Glorifying yourself as police will bring the karma on you when you make a misstep.

“I don’t want to hear about how a black person at COLUMBIA U, for crying out loud, can relate to a slave. “

Race relations have certainly improved since Obama got elected,haven’t they?/s

I'd call it being mildly observant rather than glorifying.

And I hope I never get any karma on me, at least provide me some goggles.

Well, it’s just annoying. Most aren’t interested in what Free Republic has always been about, but drawing attention to themselves.

Yep. And homeboy got him a week off.

Seems rather an effective approach to me, since it worked.

If you are privy to this you are an admin so why go around with a double identity?

Oh either you will remember in heaven or you will remember in hell. But God will not be ignored forever.

Yes, Jefferson was that, but even worse....a shop-a-holic, a spendthrift, who expected his friends to pay his debts, and a slovenly "Hippie" type, who would show up at dinner parties, that HE THREW, in bedroom slippers and a ratty bathrobe.

OTOH,he never raped anyone, wasn't a "white supremacist", and the KKK didn't come about for almost 100 years.

These idiots are like the disgusting "Palis"; they are raised and schooled in hate and don't know anything else.

I am not, I'm a heretic and a beater of horses and a blocker of speeders and a pointer-outer of blogpimps.

And a MOCKING MOCKER.. don't you forget it.
