Thomas jefferson was a huge racist who owned slaves

Didn't all the rich people have them?

Uh, no there were these people called abolitionists. It was racist to own people as property. Thomas Jefferson not excepted.

Thomas Jefferson is an interesting study in contradiction. He called slavery a "moral depravity" and a "hideous blot" while working on legislation to free them. Yet he owned hundreds of slaves himself and only freed them in his will. The link below provides some insight.

Hypocrisy.

Also interesting on Jefferson:

This has nothing at all to do with white supremacist terrorists in 2017.

It may if the trend to remove statues continues with Jefferson

You couldn't be more ridiculous if you tried even harder.

Not the pp, but I don't know why you think this is ridiculous or far-fetched, unless you are unfamiliar with Jefferson's life or writings or slave ownership. Why wouldn't the! same supremacist groups protest the removal of Jefferson statuessa

Very interesting back story here. The Assistant Mayor of Charlottesville, Wes Bellamy ( who is black), was forced to resign from the Virginia School Board last year after a series of tweets in which he professed hatred towards white people and other vulgar tweets.

It is quite shocking to me that he was allowed to keep his position as Assistant Mayor. He apparently also wears black panther regalia, etc. I wouldn't be all surprised if he didn't help support the counter protest which eventually led to the death of three innocent people.

I of course condemn the acts of the driver who ploughed his car into innocent people. But people like Wes Bellamy have a way of setting the stage....

Not as shocking as a statue in the Untied States of America honoring a man who joined with conferdoracy traitors to fight against America and lost.

The assistant mayor of Charlottesville set the stage for somebody ploughing his car into innocent people?

The counterprotest led to the death of innocent people?

If you're going to condemn murder, then condemn murder. Don't condemn murder but. Don't condemn murder whatabout. Just condemn murder.

Indeed. Reminds me of the cops who protect people shouting "Pigs in a Blanket...".

Yeah and the shit was awful then and it's despicable in this instance what the F is your point?

You just made his point by getting so angry about the truth...

Here he is, right in the middle of the picture:

Using your own theory inside the DWS thread, is this really Mr Fields? Could this be a look-a-like? If it was Mr Fields, could someone else provide him with the shield? Was there an "offensive weapon" on him, aka gun or knife? Was he wearing khaki's and a white shirt when arrested?

You see Jeff, two can play at this game...

FWIW I condemn the actions of Mr Fields (just so you won't attack me as a KKK sympathizer, which I am not).

Yes, he was wearing the khaki pants and white shirt when he was arrested, though not in the booking photo. I saw a photograph of him on the ground beside the car with police holding him and immediately recognized his "uniform". The organization with whose members he was standing said they gave him the shield but that he is not a member. Not sure why you think this is a game.

My husband and son, both in the tech field, wear khaki pants and a white shirt to work. My husband is progressive, my son, a libertarian. Uniform?

Now HE must call White Supremacy Terrorism by its name.

One big problem with your statement. Islamic terrorists are busy killing people around the world in the name of their religion. It wasn't 'workplace violence' or whatever Obama chose to call it instead. Islamic Terrorism is wreaking havoc worldwide. These folk are small-timers trying really hard to make a name for themselves and failing. Islamic terror, on the other hand, is winning with the help of progressives who trying soooo hard to be understanding.

I don't know personally know ANY conservatives who condone this man's actions.

Yep, if there had been no counter protests, there would have been no deaths. Easy peasy. What is so hard to understand about that? The alt right folks would have gotten bored and gone home.

I'm surprised you think having a racist assistant mayor is fine, but then I remember, hypocrisy.

Yes and I also condemn situations that incite murder.

There are debates about Jefferson going on across the country. See the Washington & Lee thread on here.
