Even if he, while a widower I believe, had sexual relations with Sally Hemings who was mixed-race, during the time it wasn't totally uncommon for a female above the age of 13 to marry a man in his 40s. So it's just assumed non consensual because she was his slave. But if he had multiple children with her over an extended period of time it sounds like it probably was consensual.
You didn't highlight the other post where the other kids told her what an HBCU was and one of the other students said that the tour guide informed them of what an HBCU was and that they were going there.... Also that in her initial victimization Tweet she stated that she didn't know they were going there or that it was an HBCU so she is a liar and note I don't think that is a horrible thing for a teenage girl to do. Most teenagers are liars.
And that's too bad that your kid doesn't look up where they are going or you don't inform them of where they are going. If my kid was going to the Alamo, he'd know something about the Alamo before he went. I have a son and teenage nephew (10th and 11th graders) whose educational needs I look after. Both go on lots of trips and I review itineraries before they go and I speak to them about the places they are going so they know a little, at least about where they are going to.
It is odd to me that so many people today don't communicate with their kids. And I'm sure that your son would know that anything Trump related is controversial. I have a 9 year old and she knows that Trump is controversial. She also knows that MAGA is his motto. She is 9....
On Stuckeys, if you told your kid they were famous for Nut Log Rolls before you went (which is something I would tell my kid to make them excited about going) then they would know before they got there...Again, people should speak to kids before they go places.
So now besides having to be wary if your white and entering a predominately Black neighborhood.........now you have to inspect your attire and make sure you are not wearing something offensive if you visit a college campus.........especially if your an immature 16 year old girl.........

Plus you can't be named "Robert Lee" and work in the state of Virginia. This guy is Asian but I'm sure it applies to whites as well.

Up until the last sentence...this is definitely plausible.
Actually the last sentence is plausible...i just disagree that bearing more children indicates a stronger likelihood of consent.
In any event, we'll never know and anyone who even dares to ponder this is a racist.

Agree we'll never know at this point and that's one of the reasons why we shouldn't revise views on our historical figures. Heming was a slave and 3/4 white I believe and there's probably a lot not known and the fact that she was a slave is really all that's known for sure and matters. Once could dig up a lot of dirt on MLK.

"we can't help it, blacks should just accept our ignorance about racial sensitivity...that's just how things are"
