A statue to Thomas Jefferson on the lawn of the University of Virginia was defaced with the words 'racist' and 'rapist' early on Friday morning, just before the start of celebrations marking the 275th anniversary of his birth.
A UVA spokesman said: 'The university is disappointed that individuals vandalized the statue of Thomas Jefferson on the Lawn on the day that we honor his contributions to our University and to our democracy.
'UVA welcomes open and civil discourse on such important issues. However, acts of vandalism do not contribute to meaningful discussion.
'Crews from Facilities Management are removing the vandalism, and the University Police Department is investigating the incident.'

The University of Virginia is run by a phony administrator with a phony degree. Teresa A. Sullivan. Teresa Ann “Terry” Sullivan (born July 9, 1949) is an American sociologist and university administrator. She serves as the President of the University of Virginia, a position to which she was elected in 2010.
What an age we live in. Statues of Thomas Jefferson and Robert E. Lee torn down, New statue of Marion Barry erected.
Hey Tommy, how’s that “all men are created equal” post working out for you now?
UVA should be embarrassed about this.
Each of the individual activists need to be defaced. Use a hot branding iron that says I’M_STUPID. Immediately coat the Branding with a Tattoo ink in the wound with a color that will make it stand out before putting a bandage on the wound.
It isn’t the teachers, it is school administration all the way to state offices.
Dumb ass statement of the day. They were herded onto ships at gunpoint.
Well there's your answer.
Start sending the gang-bangers, pimps, hoes and gimme-girls to Liberia.
And when they get the Washington Redskins to drop the "Redskins", they'll go after the "Washington" next.
Founded by Jefferson but FUNDED by the citizens of Virginia. It’s a very competitive entry university, but their admissions policy allows slack for certain designated groups.
I wish more people in America were knowledgeable about what went on in the Chinese Communist Revolution under Mao. It looked a lot like what is happening here in this story and elsewhere in the US. For example, “progressive” government elites used the useful idiots on the left(mostly younger people) to rob, torture, imprison, and kill the opposition, whom they called “counter-revolutionaries.” All the while using government corruption as their excuse to transfer power to a bigger and more corrupt government system. Just like here, the inmates are running the asylum. Final total, roughly 60 million dead.
America’s Poison Pill. We totally &#%&^#ed up in 1853 when Lincoln recklessly released a population of 3,000,000 freed slaves into a total population of about 20,000,000 entrepreneurial, adventurous, freedom loving, patriotic American citizens and just expected the slaves to take to America as a duck to water. How was that supposed to work??? The original Americans had all come to America to seek their fortunes in different ways. (I think it was Lincoln’s plan to return the slaves to Africa if he hadn’t been assassinated. Can you imagine the pain that would have saved us???)
Here’s from Wikipedia, for what it’s worth:
“The United States Census of 1850 was the seventh census of the United States. Conducted by the Census Office on June 1, 1850, it determined the resident population of the United States to be 23,191,876—an increase of 35.9 percent over the 17,069,453 persons enumerated during the 1840 Census. The total population included 3,204,313 slaves.”
In 1853 Lincoln was a back country lawyer in Springfield Il.
How did he release 3 million slaves?
Also in substantial debt due to paying for degrees in studies which are worthless.
“In 1853 Lincoln was a back country lawyer in Springfield Il. How did he release 3 million slaves?”
OOPS!!!! 1863!!! Sorry, I am travelling in Korea now, and I had 1953 on the brain. Hopefully, you understand and agree with my intended question! :)
agree
Thanks. You inspired me to look up a few more numbers, as I also used the effective date of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address in 1863 as my basepoint. So, in 1865, US population was about 30 Million. Suddenly, ~10% increase in population by people who did not chose to risk all seeking a better life in a free country.
I know we all rightfully hate Wikipedia, but here’s this...
“As the Union armies advanced through the Confederacy, thousands of slaves were freed each day until nearly all (approximately 3.9 million, according to the 1860 Census) were freed by July 1865.”

Yeah, I don't think so....because most of them did....until the RATs started lying to them.
Most, if not all, black politicians were Republicans until about 1935.
“Yeah, I don’t think so....because most of them did....until the RATs started lying to them.”
Good points. It just seems they took to the Rats’ bait pretty easily. Not like people inclined toward living otherwise. So many people of all stripes doing the same today.
