“I will not try to diminish the words of Jefferson because he was a slave owner and lived a duplicitous intimate life with a female who was his slave.”
You must not have gotten the word; most scholars discount that entirely. And, is impossible to confirm. It was rumors spread by his political enemies. Reminds me of the character assassination of Edgar Allen Poe that held sway for a hundred years.
However, I can see, based on yours and others posts, that the Leftist brainwashing has succeeded completely. King’s seedy conduct was widely known when he was alive, as were his habit of hobnobbing with known communists. It was so out in the open that Hoover got alarmed over it. But Hoover is the one who is trashed. King was a media creation.
I think the Jefferson foundation disagrees with you, as to the last word on Sally Hemmings.
But you ignore my point. I can accept Jefferson’s moral shortcomings, and still admire the words he gave us.
THAT is the point - with many notable historic figures. It is a fact of history, not a Leftist brainwashing.
