Why do you have a banner of Thomas Jefferson when he had sexual relations with a black woman? Doesn't that conflict with your beliefs? Who says he had sexual relations with a Black woman? Prove it. The banner is there because if Thomas Jefferson were alive today he would be called a White Nationalist. Actually he would be called a racist, hate monger, bigot, White Supremacist and who only knows what else. He believed the Blacks should be sent back to Africa and America should be for WHITES only. Maybe he shagged one of his Black house maids and maybe he didn't, I really don't care.          Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people [blacks] are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. --Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821. ME 1:72     Among the Romans emancipation required but one effort. The slave, when made free, might mix with, without staining the blood of his master. But with us a second is necessary, unknown to history. When freed, he is to be removed beyond the reach of mixture. --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIV, 1782. ME 2:201      My opinion on the proposition... to take measures for procuring on the coast of Africa, an establishment to which the people of color of these States might, from time to time, be colonized, under the auspices of different governments [is]: Having long ago made up my mind on this subject, I have no hesitation in saying that I have ever thought it the most desirable measure which could be adopted for gradually drawing off this part of our population, most advantageous for themselves as well as for us. Going from a country possessing all the useful arts, they might be the means of transplanting them among the inhabitants of Africa, and would thus carry back to the country of their origin the seeds of civilization which might render their sojournment and sufferings here a blessing in the end to that country. --Thomas Jefferson to John Lynch, 1811. ME 13:10      I concur entirely in [the] leading principles of gradual emancipation, of establishment on the coast of Africa, and the patronage of our nation until the emigrants shall be able to protect themselves... Personally, I am ready and desirous to make any sacrifice which shall ensure their gradual but complete retirement from the State, and effectually, at the same time, establish them elsewhere in freedom and safety. --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Humphreys, 1817. ME 15:102      Indeed, nothing is more to be wished than that the United States would themselves undertake to make such an establishment on the coast of Africa. Exclusive of motives of humanity, the commercial advantages to be derived from it might repay all its expenses. --Thomas Jefferson to John Lynch, 1811. ME 13:12     In the disposition of these unfortunate people, there are two rational objects to be distinctly kept in view. First. The establishment of a colony on the coast of Africa, which may introduce among the aborigines the arts of cultivated life, and the blessings of civilization and science. By doing this, we may make to them some retribution for the long course of injuries we have been committing on their population. And considering that these blessings will descend to the nati natorum, et qui nascentur ab illis, we shall in the long run have rendered them perhaps more good than evil... The second object, and the most interesting to us, as coming home to our physical and moral characters, to our happiness and safety, is to provide an asylum to which we can, by degrees, send the whole of that population from among us, and establish them under our patronage and protection, as a separate, free and independent people, in some country and climate friendly to human life and happiness. That any place on the coast of Africa should answer the latter purpose, I have ever deemed entirely impossible. --Thomas Jefferson to Jared Sparks, 1824. ME 16:8      It will probably be asked, Why not retain and incorporate the blacks into the State [instead of colonizing them]? Deep rooted prejudices entertained by the whites, ten thousand recollections by the blacks of the injuries they have sustained, new provocations, the real distinctions which nature has made, and many other circumstances will divide us into parties and produce convulsions which will probably never end but in the extermination of the one or the other race. --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIV, 1782.
