Baby boomers Ruined America: Why Blaming Millennials is Misguided — and Annoying

[whathehell]

140. Wow..I AM, and I DO know about the fifty year fight of the Hemmings to be

recognized - I'm glad they did, as they were obviously being discriminated against -- It

should have all come to light centuries ago.

My question to you is why in HELL would you imagine me to be a "slavery apologist"?

because I am open, like many others, to the "possibility", nothing more, that the

Hemming/ Jefferson relationship may have had SOME aspects of consensuality, within the

unquestionably hideous institution of slavery?

I'm open to that possibility only because, as mentioned, history and scholarship have

shown us that Human relationships are VERY complicated -- I'm sure you've

heard of the Stockholm Syndrome -- something which would resemble such a relationship.

That, 1Strong, is a FAR cry from being a 'slavery apologist", so I think you

might want to put down the broad brush -- I'm not only NOT a "slavery apologist",

I FAVOR Reparations for slavery and for hundreds of years of Discrimination and Jim Crow.

I hope we understand each other a little better now.
