Protestors cover Thomas Jefferson statue with black tarp, ‘racist and rapist’ sign at UVA |...

If students think Thom Jefferson is a White racist, then why do they go to the school he created?

Could be another facet of cultural cleansing, to denounce anyone and everyone you disagree with, name-call them, paint them with a tar brush and cover them up. Of course 'they' can get away with it here in the USA in this day and age and it might get worse before it gets better. Better mind your Ps & Qs.

It's a popular thing right now...I'd imagine that in a year or so some of this stuff will calm down. That's one thing about these type of protests...the people doing them don't have an overall mission. They just see something and want to get in on it because it's a way to stay relevant. Jefferson was by no means a saint, but he is definitely a huge part of our history.
