Columbia University Students Cast Thomas Jefferson in KKK Hood

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.

Some kinds of stupid can’t be fixed.

If they truly believe they are part of an African diaspora I am more than happy to have them sent back

[Nifster]

Apparently you haven’t paid enough attention....humblegunner is our watcher of blog pimps....and very good at it.

You hi tech need to chillax some

[humblegunner]

Oh I am satisfied. The Lord will roar in your face forever. You chose it. Have a wonderful hell.

Yes, clearly Jesus thinks I'm a dirtbag for objecting to speeders and blogpimps.

He's on record as supporting both groups, I'm sure.

I don't think we're talking about the same Jesus.

Would that these kids would read Jefferson’s own words.

The Notes on Comm. VA...e.g. Re tribes and blacks; their conditions. Paraphrasing: “ Do they not love their children as we do?”, Etc.

To call him a racist...after he gently tried to persuade his fellows that it was irrational... in the 1760’s... is a sign of true ignorance.

I have been waiting for demands that he be removed from Mt. Rushmore. And the State of Washington changing its name.

Is there any doubt that Thom was madly in love with Sally? That they were soul mates?

[nopardons]

His friends went, weren't happy about his downslide, which is WHY we know about it; the wrote about it and we know what was said.

Only the uneducated don't know about this.

[Godebert]

"Yeah right you stupid liberals... He's so racist, he had a romantic liason with a black woman and had them all freed when he died! So sick of revisionist liberals."

Yet you repeat liberal revisionist history to besmirch Thomas Jefferson.

[Eddie01]

The problem; all this immature acting out will not end well for the actors.

Not at all.

They are not winning over converts, they are entrenching those that will at the moment of ignition end their existence.

[nopardons]

These morons don’t know ANY factual history at all! To call Jefferson a “rapist”, is also patently ridiculous!

[caww]

College students have created more violent protests and disruption over the years to this country than they have ever accomplished anything worthwhile.. Remove the Professors who have infiltrated our Universities who promote treasonous behavior and violence and 90% of the problem in campuses and on our streets would cease.

[HiTech RedNeck]

So it takes the snooty schooling to keep up with it. I figured. History has a way of losing the unimportant.

[nopardons]

There's PLENTY of doubt that he and Sally were anything more than related to each other by marriage.

The DNA tests proved only that her descendants have some Jeffersonian genes, which most probably is goes to Thomas' nephew/s.

This story was a political SMEAR JOB, which has lingered and sadly, now is taken as "fact".

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

Or...it could be that HG simply read the thread, to include post #14.

Seems that Admin has little patience for blogpimps as well.

Imagine that.

[nopardons]

It takes being able to READ and doing so; no special schooling called for. There are many, old and new, well written, well researched books about Jefferson and the other FFs.

[nopardons]

You need to stop being so emotional; people will believe that you are a sick female, who is living on her last shredded nerve.

Since you never know what you're talking about, but post blindingly uneducated, incorrect and OT posts, you should try to follow FR rules and learn more about the topics you post about.

“And a MOCKING MOCKER”

Oh boy, now you’ve really done it.

“We watched, “Tower” on Netflix a couple days ago. BTW, recommend it. It’s a documentary on the UT Austin Tower shooting. Interesting and different with the people who were there.”

“One of the guys made a comment that he took shelter behind the statue of Jefferson and was grateful for it despite those today who want to take it down.”

He took cover behind the statue of Jefferson Davis and that statue has been removed.

At the time it was illegal in Virginia to grant a slave his freedom. Jefferson tried to get that law changed in the House of Burgesses, to no avail. Washington was able to give his slaves freedom since he had lands in southeastern Pennsylvania. That is today’s history lesson.
