Omg...we actually have a sighting of a rare species...a Republican with a spine.

Tim Scott:

"As a country founded upon freedom, the greatest deprivation of freedom was s***ery. There is no silver lining … in s***ery.

What s***ery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating," Scott said. "So I would hope that every person in our country — and certainly running for president — would appreciate that."

Let us not forget the great Thomas Jefferson, who raped a s***e, got her pregnant and then kept his own son as a s***e.
Please let me know what the good part was, because I don't see it.

When he takes it to Trump (who he is "trying" to beat) the way Christy (whom I'm not a fan of) has, Then maybe he will be showing a spine.

By today's standards and culture there was no "...good part...". BUT

According to the standards and culture of Jefferson's time there was no bad part!

So rape and enslaving your offspring was okay?
That says a lot about our founders, and none of it is good.

This is just not true. He knew it was wrong and said it was a blot on America and correctly said it would rip this country apart. His problem was s***ery was very profitable for him, not only was it profitable because of crops his field s***es grew but also from the sale of the s***es often breaking up families.

His relationship with Sally Hemings is very complicated. Hemings was Jeffersons wife's younger half sister and looked and looked very much like her. She could have gone free while both of them were in France. S***ery was already illegal in France but she returned to American instead. Was it for her feeling for Jefferson or for her own family , who knows?Jefferson knew this was wrong he he never admitted to the relationship. It wasn't until recently that DNA proved that the Hemings family are descended from Jefferson.

From your thinking B****s are still as stupid as when they were swinging from limbs in Africa. Obviously you haven't advanced either.

Mostly about money and free labor? There was an altruistic niche for sensitive souls? Of course there was ... in Florida
