Racist black professors and journalists, and their elite white allies, now insist that black oral history be given pride of place over documentary evidence.

I am trying to figure out the angle on the Jefferson-Hemings story, but this "black oral history" is highly suspect. Did you know that the whole theory of academic study of "Cleopatra was black" just because some illiterate grandmother told her professor grandaughter that she heard it when she was young. Not a shred of evidence supports this, yet now it is taken seriously by some lefty academics.

People will believe what they want to believe. Somehow Cleopatra being black is supposed to infuse all poor blacks here with self esteem. This is as ridiculous as saying I'm smart because my family came from Europe.
