same as endlesscry: just because YOU live in a world where everything has to be either black or white, doesn't mean that's true for everyone else. literally no one said that jefferson's ideas were all shit because he raped his slave girl. that's a strawman you committed to because someone slammed ivanka's pathetic deflection attempt.
and no, there is no consensual sexual relationship between a slave girl and her master, just like there is none between a student and a teacher, or a girl and her father - no matter what kind of ridiculous excuses you want to make in order to whitewash his legacy...
always funny to hear you, of all people, calling others out for black and white thinking.

dont you even realize it? I was the one arguing for a more nuanced and differentiated look at the case, while you took the black and white "he slept with her, therefore he raped her and is a horrible person" stance.
you are the one who still considers a pathetic ad hominem attack which didnt refute Ivanka's substantive argument in any way shape or form as "ivanka getting slammed", you are the one who calls a nuanced perspective "pathetic deflection" when it doesnt fit the narrative.
unrelated: there are tons consensual sexual relationships between teacher and student, and also some (albeit admittedly few) between father and (adult) daughter. you're acting as if grown-ups were fundamentally unable to make conscious decisions whenever any iota of power dynamics is involved.
