quote:

Students at the College of William & Mary want Thomas Jefferson’s status removed from campus because they call him an “incestuous rapist” and a “racist.”

The Jefferson statue there is now covered in yellow notes that say things including: “he knew it was wrong,” “racist” “rapist,” “black lives matter,” and ” stop worshiping racists.”

The College of William & Mary, Jefferson’s alma mater, is one of many schools in America where student activists are debating the legacy of the Founding Fathers and demanding the removal of anything that commemorates them.

I love how this is happening at some of the best universities that we have (Mizzou not one of them obviously).

Shows just how stupid and petulant our "best and brightest" really are.

If you don't like the country he helped mold then you are welcome to relocate.

Or better yet just say:

"No."

No explanation necessary. Just "No."

What are they going to do about it? Protest? They are going to do that anyway.

All this shite reminds me of what is going on over on the Rant with Les Miles and people demanding him to be fired.

Just a case of the most delusional and upset people being the loudest

do they have planned prayer sessions daily in the direction of the statue? I didn't realize a hunk of granite somewhere meant people were worshipping it.

Also, is it Jefferson or some other early president that was a known fornicator with black women? If it is Jefferson, doesn't that kinda mean he's like the opposite of racist?

I'm with you. These kids are supposed to be the some of the brightest in our country. You'd think that going to the same school that Thomas Jefferson went to would make them proud. If they don't like it, then GTFO!

The new PC founding fathers will consist of George Washington Carver, Kanye West, Al Sharpton, and MLK.

Well, Jefferson has living descendants through Sally Hemmings, lets just ask what they think about all of this.

The individual might be smart or bright, but people are dumb. Mob mentality all over the place driven by social media.

IF the William and Mary Jefferson statue gets removed, then they better remove this one as well... either remove both or tell these kids to STFU.



Somebody really needs to tell these groups to frick themselves.
