Jefferson..not BP1..”Deep rooted prejudices entertained by the whites; ten thousand recollections, by the blacks, of the injuries they have sustained; new provocations; the real distinction which nature has made; and many other circumstances will divide us into parties, and produce convulsions, will will probably never end but in the extermination of one or the other race”
Thanks for the summary.
I am afraid events are proving Jefferson to be correct in his prognostications.
"new provocations"Race pimps, the PC media, the leftist education industry and opportunistic politicians worsen race relations every day. Politically correct school agendas guarantee generation after generation of blacks with victim mentality and deep rooted sense of resentment and entitlement. (prime example - Michelle Obama)
"the real distinction which nature has made"PC denial that 45 years of dumbing down, Affirmative Action, EEO, and handouts have produced little real progress, have created more resentments and have nearly destroyed the black family. Blacks continue to lag behind other demographics in education accomplishments in spite of extraordinary efforts to advance them.
"many other circumstances will divide us into parties, and produce convulsion"Even the election of a black as president (primarily because he is black) has not bridged the racial divide. In fact, it has exacerbated racial conflict by showcasing innate differences, black racism toward whites, liberal white guilt, black victimhood and sense of entitlement.
