Most would argue Thomas Jefferson fucking his slaves would count as rape in the way that Harvey Weinstein fucking his slaves counted as rape.
I don't know about the veracity of the Jefferson claim, but it's a widely spread rumor. Then again, Gay Lincoln is another widely spread rumor that is completely untrue and almost entirely unfounded.

Oh man I didn't know LAC covered this topic. Will have to give it a watch. I've seen other breakdowns by Jared Taylor and others and the claims of Jefferson being the father are very dubious.
Yea when I looked up the wiki on it and read the DNA test on his, what, (8 x great) grandchild showing matching DNA, my first thoughts were "no way you could narrow it down to a single Jefferson through his 8th-gen descendant. At best, you could say it was *a* Jefferson" which is what the video says.
Yea seems like sensationalism. The reason I never really looked into it deeply is that it doesn't matter - if the best you can do is 1 example throughout all of history stacked against the millions of counter examples, you don't have a case for your claim.
Got kicked out of Jew owned Monticello for saying it, but he didn’t do it and whoever did, we can say for him, she was so light skinned many mistook her for white.
