A William & Mary student photographed a Thomas Jefferson statue’s hands vandalized with fake blood, posted it on Facebook, and captioned his photo, “Overseen: TJ caught with the blood of all the people he owned on his hands.”
According to Bizpacreview, “The red paint below the statue seems to scrawl out “slave owner.” The photos, posted on Facebook, elicited numerous comments condemning the vandalism, including:
What does this accomplish? I know this likely isn't the case with many other places, but at least in this community of intelligent, well-read people, I would imagine that most people here are aware that Jefferson did indeed own slaves. Owning slaves is shitty and inexcusable, full stop. But I'm confused about what this accomplishes.
Oh just stop it. If you didn't want to go to a school that one of our Founding Fathers went to- then protest by matriculating elsewhere.

Black slave owners owned just as many slaves as white.
ReplyDeleteVandalism is vandalism, regardless of your "feelings".
ReplyDeleteLock them up. Make their parents pay a huge fine.
History is history...back in the day slavery was accepted, not only in America, but all over the world; including Africa. What don't you understand about this???

Hope the vandal/s is/are expelled.
If it had not been for slavery, this scum would not be living in the great United States. They would living in some shi- hole of a country.
