[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like Romeo and Juliet, it could be the romance between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings was probably genuine but was condemned by wider society at the time. In that way, Jefferson was likely far ahead of his time, was a true believer that love is love unconditionally, and he was actually quite progressive.[/quote] Have you read Romeo and Juliet? Because they were young teenagers who died because of infatuation. It was not "true love". They were impulsive teenagers surrounded by stupid adults who helped them make terrible choices. Shakespeare makes that very clear. In addition, the progressive belief about love is that it needs to be given freely. When one person is an adult enslaver, and the other person is an enslaved child, there is no freedom, and therefore there is no consent. Regardless of how Hemmings felt, she was not able to consent, and it was rape.[/quote]
