Thomas Jefferson was a complicated person, like many people throughout history, but that doesn't mean we should forget about him. There is no need to scrub history for people we don't like or disagree with. Instead, we should shine a light on all of his negative aspects, while also celebrating things that he got right during his lifetime.
- techopoly 8y agoAgreed. If we start erasing all the flawed people from history, we won't be left with much. Rather the question should be, what you can learn from his good and his bad qualities?
- droopyEyelids 8y agoThe idea that we should eliminate the unpleasant parts of our history is pretty fucking wild.
