Yeah. A hypocrite. And that whole first draft of the DOI thingy, well, he really didn’t mean it. /dripping sarcasm

The only thing curious here is your arrogance at calling a Founding Father a hypocrite in the face of historical fact.

Jefferson is dead and I'm not him, so it's impossible to know what he meant and what he did not mean. But it is possible to know what he said and what he wrote and, by contrast, what he actually did. Jefferson didn't practice what he preached, and that's textbook hypocrisy. In an age when many were freeing their slaves, Jefferson was raping his. So much for all men being endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights...

Get off your high horse. Jefferson was a man, not a god.
