Doing better job media so the story I had yesterday. I remember who it was

Posts times. I don't know it's been there for over a hundred years

187 years that is over a hundred years. You're right, but there's you know

Big difference for a hundred and eighty seven years practically the entire existence of our country this Thomas Jefferson statue

But they voted yesterday to get it out of there because Thomas Jefferson was a slaveholder

So he can't have him there. It doesn't matter if he wrote the Declaration of Independence if he was responsible for doubling the size of America

If go down the list of all the if he established he practically alone along with Madison establishing

The separation of church and state in this country, which is a radical idea the world had never seen before

Doesn't matter if he was involved in that because he was a slaveholder or so

It doesn't matter the efforts he made to try to get slavery abolished in his own state

And then in the country, but does not able to do it if you're a fan of history

You know why maybe we'll get into that with Tim Sandiff for later, but doesn't none of that matters

It's hard to pick a favorite because it's just this this whole story is running thick with both

the stupidity not knowing any of those things you just said

Not understanding that that was the state of the world slavery was ubiquitous

It was all over the place and and just the the ideas about race. It was just it was hundreds of years ago

That's just the way people thought and then the ego-tism of it which you know
