Is Fredrick Demond Scott Yet Another Black Serial Killer? Kansas City Authorities Believe so; Now, the MSM Must Either Bury Story, or Conjure Up a Passel of White Serial Killers, Real or Imaginary, to Offset Him
By Reader-Researchers A.L., “W,” and RC, and with a tip ‘o the hate to Crime and Capital Punishment
Scott claims his “brother was killed by a 22-year-old black man in a robbery last year,” so of course the proper response is to stalk, hunt down, and shoot in the back of the head middle-aged, white men who never see him coming.
It must all be Trump’s fault.
The case of Kansas City Missouri suspected racist serial killer of seven whites, Brandon B. Howell, still has not been disposed of, even though he allegedly slaughtered his last five victims on September 2, 2014.
Suspect charged in 2 shooting deaths near Kansas City trails; eyed in 3 more
CBS News
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas City man is charged in the shooting deaths of two men and is a suspect in three other killings that occurred along or near south Kansas City hiking and biking trails, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Fredrick Demond Scott, 22, is jailed on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action in the deaths of Steven Gibbons, 57, and John Palmer, 54. Prosecutors said DNA evidence connected him to the victims.
Prosecutors said Gibbons was shot in the back of the head as he walked along a south Kansas City street. His death had not been mentioned previously as related to four homicides along trails that were being investigated as possibly linked.
A probable cause statement says surveillance video showed Scott following Gibbons off a Kansas City bus and down a south Kansas City street on Aug. 13. He was later seen running from the scene of Gibbons' shooting and detectives linked him to the case through DNA taken from an iced tea bottle and a cigarette butt, prosecutors said.
Palmer was killed Aug. 19, 2016, in a wooded area near the Indian Creek trail, one of four deaths that police connected in May because they were all near trails and the victims were middle-aged, white men.
"At this moment there remains insufficient evidence to charge Scott" in the other cases, Baker said. "We expect today's charges will ease some of the concerns (in the deaths of) men walking on the trail, but we are only charging in two. We need the public's help in solving all five of these homicides."
Baker said a motive wasn't clear in the five killings, The Kansas City Star reported.
Scott told investigators he was upset about the 2015 stabbing death of his brother, according to police. Scott said he shot the two victims, investigators said.
The other victims are Mike Darby, 61, who was found dead May 18 along Indian Creek Trail; David Lenox, 67, found killed Feb. 27 a few feet from his front door while walking one of his dogs; and Timothy S. Rice, 57, who was found dead April 4 inside a shelter at Minor Park.
"Anyone who shoots innocent people walking on a trail should be prosecuted as heavily as possible," Shaton Duncan, who lives near the trail, told CBS affiliate KCTV.
The slayings terrorized the community for months.
"I was in the Army overseas but I didn't want to walk on the trail by myself, that's how dangerous it felt," area resident Chuck Loomis told the station.
Scott was in custody Tuesday at the Jackson County jail. A phone call to a public defender listed in online court documents was not immediately returned.
”Kill all white people”: Suspect in killings of 5 white men made threat in 2014
Boston Herald
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The 22-year-old man suspected of shooting five middle-aged white men since last year — including four on south Kansas City walking trails — threatened in 2014 to shoot up a school and “kill all white people,” according to court records.
Fredrick Demond Scott, who was charged Tuesday in two killings and named as a suspect in three more, made those statements in January 2014 at Center Alternative School, as documented in a municipal citation for harassment.
Scott, who is black, has been charged with murder in the deaths of Steven Gibbons, 57, and John Palmer, 54. On Tuesday, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced those charges, also naming Scott as a suspect in the killings of David Lenox, 67; Timothy S. Rice, 57, of Excelsior Springs; and Mike Darby, 61, co-owner of Coach’s Bar & Grill.
All five were white men between ages 54 and 67. All five appeared to have been fatally shot, most from behind, in surprise attacks as they walked dogs, visited park areas and, in one case, walked down a city street.
Baker has said she saw no clear motive for the killings. Sources close to the case said the shootings, which occurred over the course of about a year, did not appear to be racially motivated.
His mother said in an interview with the Kansas City Star that he refused to get treatment for his paranoid schizophrenia but did not show any hatred toward white people. Scott was cited in Kansas City municipal court in 2013 for assault on his mother, accused of shoving her several times. She called police, hoping tough love would help him, she said.
After his arrest earlier this month, Scott repeatedly told detectives that he was angry about the 2015 shooting death of his brother. A co-worker of Scott’s at a south Kansas City Burger King said Scott appeared to be damaged by his brother’s death.
If Scott is responsible for all five deaths, as Baker suggested, he would meet the FBI’s standard of a serial killer.
If he cruised for victims on the popular walking trails in his area, it would be no great surprise that he killed middle-aged white men — many of the people on the trails alone meet that description.
Law enforcement officials close to the investigation described Scott as a loner, saying detectives had struggled to find many people who knew the 22-year-old well.
He had been in trouble with the law before, but not for anything close to murder.
The 2014 threats at Center Alternative were the most alarming example. A city citation for harassment quoted Scott as stating: “I want to shoot the school up, Colombine-style (sic).”
He also said he wanted to kill himself and “kill all white people,” according to the report.
Given probation for the offense, Scott was ordered to stay away from the school.
His mother said she did not recall the incident and that he even went on to graduate from the school.
Last year, he was found guilty of stealing a three-pack of underwear from a Dollar General.
Earlier this year, he had been ordered to pay $100 restitution for ripping the screens off of two front windows at the home he lived at in south Kansas City.
In some ways, the reason behind the killings remains a mystery as much to Baker as to Scott’s former co-worker at Burger King, one of the few people who have publicly said they know Scott.
The morning after Scott’s charges were announced, a former co-worker at the Burger King at Red Bridge Road and Holmes Road had not heard of his connection to the trail murders.
“Wow,” she said, visibly shaken at the news. “I just seen this kid here the other day … wow. Jesus Christ.”
Scott had worked at the Burger King on at least two occasions over a year ago, but had regularly visited the restaurant during the past year, the co-worker said.
The co-worker said she knew Scott was distraught over his brother’s murder when he went to the Burger King in search of a job the summer of 2016.
“He felt like his brother was the only person who loved him,” the co-worker said. “It really damaged him.”

St. Sarah: White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Showed too Much Patience Towards Media Activists at Today’s Press Briefing
By Nicholas Stix
Sanders opened today’s press briefing by saying that she would not be answering questions about the President’s decision on DACA (illegal aliens who had allegedly been brought here as children by their parents), because the President had not yet made a decision, and she therefore had nothing yet to say on the matter.
No sooner had she said that, then she was bombarded with the same question about DACA five times in a row, and a total of seven times.
After a break of questions on other matters, yet another drama queen amnesty activist poorly disguised as a reporter asked Sanders if the President was going to treat “Dreamers” “with heart.” He then repeated the same “heart” crap.
If I were White House press spokesman, I would have started off like Sanders, but then responded to the first question,
I already anticipated your question. Next question,And called on a second activist.
When she/he/it (s/h/it, for short) repeated the question, I would have said,
Next.When the third activist repeated the same darned question, I would have responded,
Have a nice day, everyone!,and exited the room.

Harvey Heartbreak, Harvey Blessing: Mother and Child
Harvey horror: Shivering tot found clinging to drowned mom
August 30, 2017 at 6:38 am CDT
Associated Press
BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) — Authorities found a shivering toddler clinging to the body of her drowned mother in a rain-swollen canal in Southeast Texas after the woman tried to carry her child to safety from Harvey's floods.
Capt. Brad Penisson of the fire-rescue department in Beaumont said the woman's vehicle got stuck Tuesday afternoon in the flooded parking lot of an office park just off Interstate 10. Squalls from Harvey were pounding Beaumont with up to 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain an hour at the time with 38 mph (60 kph) gusts, according to the National Weather Service.
Penisson said a witness saw the woman take her 18-month-old daughter and try to walk to safety when the swift current of a flooded drainage canal next to the parking lot swept them both away.
The child was holding onto the floating woman when a police and fire-rescue team in a boat caught up to them a half-mile downstream, he said.
Rescuers pulled them into the boat just before they would have gone under a railroad trestle where the water was so high that the boat could not have followed.
First responders lifted the child from her mother's body and tried to revive the woman, but she never regained consciousness.
Penisson said the child was in stable condition at Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital.
The identities of the mother and child were being withheld until the father, who was out of town, can be notified.
At least 18 people have been killed by Harvey since Friday, when it made landfall in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane. Harvey has since weakened to a tropical storm.

A Witness Tells of a Fraud Gone Wrong Today (Grand Rapids Diary)
By Grand Rapids Anonymous
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 at 11:22:00 P.M. EDT
I WITNESSED A BLACK ATTEMPTING TO COMMIT A FELONY TODAY
I witnessed first- hand today, a black attempting to commit a felony right in front of me. I was getting gas for my car, went in to pre-pay and a black thug was the guy ahead of me—trying to purchase lottery scratch offs and a carton of cigs.
The employee was given a credit card—which was rejected by the machine. The black was asked for ID—he handed the employee a driver’s license.
“This is not you—this is not yours.”
“Uhhh, ummm, I never have any trouble here...”said black felon, “You're not going to let me get that stuff?”
I was waiting for a gun to get pulled.
“Your card was rejected.”
The black thug turned slowly and left.
Another older white guy had come in and witnessed this episode.
“Goddamn crook.”
“Had to be stolen stuff,” I said.
My aunt had her house broken into years ago and had her checkbook and license stolen. Store clerks actually looked at the license—an older white woman—and let the blacks who stole her stuff, USE THE CHECKS THAT THEY’D STOLEN.
Unbelievable—but not really…

Jackson, Mississippi: Two Arrests Made in Hate Crime Assassination of Chelsie Lynn Kirschten
[“Jackson, Mississippi: Black Man Casually Shoots Beautiful, Young, White Woman to Death at Traffic Light for Driving While White.”]
By David in TN and Nicholas Stix
“Arrests Made in Fatal Red Light Shooting” is the current, top of the screen title of The Clarion-Ledger story below. That’s because the second suspect, Lidarius Dixon, 19, turned himself in today. Nicholas Coats, 21, was arrested yesterday.
A black, Clarion-Ledger commenter posted the following utterance:
Brittany A Calhoun
After School Care Coordinator & Assistant at Extended Learning Solutions, LLC
“There's a rumor saying the woman shot was purchasing crack/cocaine from one of the men arrested. She apparently drove off without giving the man the money for the drugs and proceeded to drive away. The man caught up to her again, but the woman still drove off after the second stop. When she was at the red light on Fortification, the guy came up to the window and shot her. But hey, we don't know the facts, thus called a ‘rumor.’”
Whenever a racist, black monster commits an atrocity against a white, blacks start making up racial fairy tales, typically involving drugs and sex, which in their lurid, paranoid minds, somehow justify the atrocity. When Lemaricus Davidson, his half-brother Letalvis Cobbins, and several other (likely five) racist blacks kidnapped, gang-raped, tortured and murdered Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, the fairy tale was that the white couple had stopped by to buy drugs, during which time Christian has consensual sex with Davidson.
Even if that ridiculous story were true—Christian and Newsom had never crossed paths with Davidson and Cobbins before the two black half-brothers kidnapped them, what would it have to do with Davidson, Cobbins, et al., robbing, torturing, and murdering them?
In another case from the time, a black career criminal kidnapped and repeatedly raped a white woman. His story? The victim had arranged the whole thing, through a third party, an imaginary prostitute named “muffin.”
After O.J. Simpson butchered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, his story was that they had actually been murdered by foreign drug dealers, because of Nicole’s girlfriend, Faye Resnick.
And in 1999, when black racist, NBA thug Latrell Sprewell twice assaulted white Knicks coach P.J. Carlesimo during a practice, black females I knew in beautiful, downtown Far Rockaway, Queens, spread the fairy tale that Carlesimo had whispered something that only Sprewell could hear, which somehow set off the latter.
2 men charged in shooting death of woman at red light

Two men have been charged in the death of a Brandon woman who was shot and killed Aug. 17 at a traffic light on Fortification and State streets in Jackson.
Nicholas Coats, 21, and Lidarius Dixon, 19, are charged with murder in the death of Chelsie Lynn Kirschten, 23.
Kirschten was shot in the driver's seat of her Pontiac at the intersection just before 11:48 p.m. A female passenger in the front seat was unharmed. Kirschten managed to drive the car from the intersection down Fortification to near I-55 where she was found dead at the scene.
Coats was arrested Monday afternoon, according to a release from the Jackson Police Department. He had his initial appearance Tuesday morning, where Jackson Municipal Court Judge Ali ShamsidDeen set bond at $200,000. Dixon surrendered to authorities Tuesday afternoon, according to Jackson Police Department.
Dixon is also charged with shooting into an occupied vehicle. Vance would not say if Dixon is believed to be the shooter, but he did say the evidence police have is what led the judge to sign off on the arrest warrant for those charges.
Police say the shooter used a silver handgun and fired one shot into the driver's side window. Kirschten was shot once in the upper back.

JPD Cmdr. Tyree Jones said investigators have yet to find any personal connection between the shooter and the women in the vehicle. Nothing was stolen.
When asked if he could say if the shooter and the victim knew each other, Vance said, "I could say, but I'm not going to say."
The suspects were developed after a tip came in via CrimeStoppers, Vance said. He encouraged anyone with further information about the case or about Dixon's whereabouts to come forward.
"It's the lifeblood of any criminal investigation, without it we are nowhere and it takes us much longer to develop suspect information without leads from the public," Vance said. "In most cases individuals who perpetrate these crimes are going to tell someone, and all we need is that person who knows to give us the information. We don't need their identity."
As to whether the public should be concerned about the investigation, which was initially termed by many to be a "random" shooting, Vance said the time that has passed since the shooting should set people at ease.
"Continue to be vigilant and, if anyone knows something that will further this investigation along, pass that on," Vance said. "No tip is too small."
War crime suspect Nicholas Coats
Vance said it's too early to release all the information police know. Even talking about motives is premature, he said.
"We are being intentionally vague because right now we don't have all the answers and divulging too much information at this particular stage could hamper the investigation," Vance said. "It's always been our desire to be transparent and up front, but at the same time, that doesn't mean we're going to say everything that we could say to the media at this point because it's still an ongoing investigation. A very active investigation."
Further suspects and arrests are possible, Vance said.
"I would not take that completely off the table," he said.
[Possible, in the theoretical sense, but not bloody likely.]

Did Joy Carpenter Die of Battered Woman Syndrome, or Straight-Up Murder? And Why was Her Killer's Charge Reduced to Assault? Two Years after Her Black Husband Killed Her, Authorities Still Grapple with Cause of Death
By Grand Rapids Anonymous
Monday, August 28, 2017 at 6:32:00 P.M. EDT
OBESE WHITE WOMAN,KILLED BY BLACK HUSBAND TWO YEARS AGO. HIS SENTENCING IS DELAYED.
GRA: What any white woman is thinking when she rolls the dice, by getting involved with black scum, can only be two things: desperation or drugs.
Battle Creek (FOX17) Mich. – The case of a man accused of assaulting his wife continues to be delayed because of new evidence.
Chris Carpenter was charged with killing his wife, Joy, over a year and a half ago, but that charge has been lowered to assault. Carpenter was accused of beating his wife so severely that she died from her injuries at a local hospital, but evidence was later introduced that showed Joy may have died from her treatment instead of those injuries.
Carpenter pleaded “no contest” to the assault charge and was expecting to be sentenced Monday. However, the court adjourned Monday without sentencing him as they continue to iron out details of how he should be sentenced.
Joy’s family came to court Monday hoping for some closure and resolution to the case, but went home disappointed that they could not address the court.
Despite the “no contest” plea, Carpenter is maintaining his innocence as well, saying Joy was hurt in a fight with two women outside her home that night in December 2015.
Carpenter’s sentencing is now scheduled for September 11.
GRA: Pics shown of her, look like she had been in 10 rounds of boxing vs. Floyd Mayweather. Lessons abound for other white women in a situation where they feel it’s better to be with a black guy, rather than alone.
Just look at the pictures.
From court testimony last year:
“Prahlow, an assistant Calhoun County Medical Examiner, said he conducted the autopsy at the Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine on Dec. 9.
“He told Chief Assistant Prosecutor Daniel Buscher that he found the victim's eyes and lips swollen and she had lacerations and bruises on her face and neck.
“The injuries were consistent with being struck with a closed fist 30 to 50 times, the doctor said. Police have said Carpenter told medical personnel before she died that her husband struck her that many times on the kitchen floor.”
N.S.: There are two motives for the authorities to define down murders into assaults and non-crimes, both of them racial. 1. They seek to decrease the murder rate, by hook or by crook, in order to show, “Hey, we can have lower crime rates AND diversity, and 2. In order to grant affirmative action justice to colored cut-throats, who commit the vast majority of the murders in this country.

POLICE: WE MAY NOT COME OUT IF YOU SPEAK ENGLISH
Fury over plan to ‘prioritise’ help for crime victims who have English as 2nd language
• 26 Aug 2017
• Daily Mail
• By Ian Drury and Chris Greenwood
‘This could go very wrong very quickly’
CRIME victims may not get a visit from the police if they speak good English, a senior officer suggested last night.
The second-in-command of the country’s biggest force said callers could be refused a visit from an officer unless they were considered sufficiently ‘vulnerable’.
Craig Mackey said victims prioritised for a ‘ face- to- face service’ could include people for whom English was a second language.
He suggested that people with learning difficulties and the elderly would also be prioritised. His comments raised concerns that the middle-aged and those speaking good English might be pushed to the back of the queue. And they follow claims that political correctness is taking over modern policing, with responses determined by a tick-box culture – denying some of the population a full investigation.
Last night, MPs and campaign groups hit out at Mr Mackey’s ‘utterly bonkers’ and ‘very strange’ proposals.
They said police should respond according to the seriousness of an offence, not the personal circumstances of the victim.
Mr Mackey, Scotland Yard’s deputy commissioner, said victims of crimes such as car theft might not receive a face-to-face visit from officers in future unless they were deemed to need one under a new ‘triage’ system.
He said the method was an ‘ absolutely feasible’ way to help the force cope following deep funding cuts. Acknowledging it was a ‘difficult area’, he said: ‘Do you always offer the same service to everyone?
‘Increasingly, as we go forward we will look at things like trying to assess people and crime on the sort of the threat, the harm, the risk, and people’s vulnerability.
‘It’s absolutely feasible as we go forward that if my neighbour is a vulnerable elderly person who has experienced a particular type of crime, that she gets a face-to-face service that I don’t get. So we triage things... we assess people’s vulnerability.
‘Vulnerability can manifest itself in a number of ways: people with learning difficulties, a whole range of things, some people for whom English isn’t a first language.’
But Tory MP Peter Bone said: ‘This is a very strange idea. It’s wrong. Victims of crime should get a proper service from the police. Surely the level of response should be related to the type of crime, not whether a person doesn’t speak English or is vulnerable?
‘If somebody reports a crime, to say “Hang on, you’re a white, middle-aged man, we’ll not come out” is completely wrong.’
Liberal Democrat MP Jamie Stone added: ‘It’s utterly bonkers to suggest that victims of crime shouldn’t receive a police visit just because they’re not “vulnerable” enough.
‘Surely choosing who to prioritise should be based on the severity of a crime, not the victim’s age or whether their first language isn’t English.’
Peter Cuthbertson, director of the Centre For Crime Prevention think-tank, said: ‘When you have prolific criminals committing dozens of crimes each month, the priority is putting them away to protect the public.
‘It misses the point to concentrate effort on only some victims. It’s the same people who are a threat to the vulnerable and less vulnerable alike. This could go very wrong very quickly. It’s deeply worrying if police are even considering treating people who bother to learn fluent English worse than someone who doesn’t make the effort. Why reward people who refuse to integrate?’
Criminologist Dr David Green said: ‘Reductions in spending on the police imposed by the Government, and the inevitable fall in the number of police officers, is now starting to cut into the core service.

POLICE: WE MAY NOT COME OUT IF YOU SPEAK ENGLISH
Fury over plan to ‘prioritise’ help for crime victims who have English as 2nd language
• 26 Aug 2017
• Daily Mail

‘This could go very wrong very quickly’
CRIME victims may not get a visit from the police if they speak good English, a senior officer suggested last night.
The second-in-command of the country’s biggest force said callers could be refused a visit from an officer unless they were considered sufficiently ‘vulnerable’.
Craig Mackey said victims prioritised for a ‘ face- to- face service’ could include people for whom English was a second language.
He suggested that people with learning difficulties and the elderly would also be prioritised. His comments raised concerns that the middle-aged and those speaking good English might be pushed to the back of the queue. And they follow claims that political correctness is taking over modern policing, with responses determined by a tick-box culture – denying some of the population a full investigation.
Last night, MPs and campaign groups hit out at Mr Mackey’s ‘utterly bonkers’ and ‘very strange’ proposals.
They said police should respond according to the seriousness of an offence, not the personal circumstances of the victim.
Mr Mackey, Scotland Yard’s deputy commissioner, said victims of crimes such as car theft might not receive a face-to-face visit from officers in future unless they were deemed to need one under a new ‘triage’ system.
He said the method was an ‘ absolutely feasible’ way to help the force cope following deep funding cuts. Acknowledging it was a ‘difficult area’, he said: ‘Do you always offer the same service to everyone?
‘Increasingly, as we go forward we will look at things like trying to assess people and crime on the sort of the threat, the harm, the risk, and people’s vulnerability.
‘It’s absolutely feasible as we go forward that if my neighbour is a vulnerable elderly person who has experienced a particular type of crime, that she gets a face-to-face service that I don’t get. So we triage things... we assess people’s vulnerability.
‘Vulnerability can manifest itself in a number of ways: people with learning difficulties, a whole range of things, some people for whom English isn’t a first language.’
But Tory MP Peter Bone said: ‘This is a very strange idea. It’s wrong. Victims of crime should get a proper service from the police. Surely the level of response should be related to the type of crime, not whether a person doesn’t speak English or is vulnerable?
‘If somebody reports a crime, to say “Hang on, you’re a white, middle-aged man, we’ll not come out” is completely wrong.’
Liberal Democrat MP Jamie Stone added: ‘It’s utterly bonkers to suggest that victims of crime shouldn’t receive a police visit just because they’re not “vulnerable” enough.
‘Surely choosing who to prioritise should be based on the severity of a crime, not the victim’s age or whether their first language isn’t English.’
Peter Cuthbertson, director of the Centre For Crime Prevention think-tank, said: ‘When you have prolific criminals committing dozens of crimes each month, the priority is putting them away to protect the public.
‘It misses the point to concentrate effort on only some victims. It’s the same people who are a threat to the vulnerable and less vulnerable alike. This could go very wrong very quickly. It’s deeply worrying if police are even considering treating people who bother to learn fluent English worse than someone who doesn’t make the effort. Why reward people who refuse to integrate?’
Criminologist Dr David Green said: ‘Reductions in spending on the police imposed by the Government, and the inevitable fall in the number of police officers, is now starting to cut into the core service.
‘The police are being forced to choose priorities and appear to be departing from the elementary principle that we are all equally entitled to service.’ Mr Mackey used an interview with the Evening Standard to set out how the Met could cope with a fall in money. Over the past four years, the force has made £600 million of cuts as part of austerity, and faces making an extra £400 m in savings by 2020.

Filled Teardops and a Darwin Award Winner (Grand Rapids Diary)
Jaquarius Littlejohn: Note his proud mockery of the police mug shot photographer, the particularly ugly scar on his lip, and the filled teardrop tattoo near each eye. Teardrop tattoos mean you’re a gangster. A hollow teardrop means that one of your crime partners has been killed. You get the hollow filled in, after you’ve killed your buddy’s killer. Littlejohn is proclaiming to the world that he’s killed at least two males of the species.

Here's some news from the Jungle—otherwise known as Grand Rapids (joining many other jungles across the country).
In a story I posted a week ago, a 30-year-old black thug shot one person in the chest and stabbed another in the neck. Well, the suspect was actually arrested in the hospital last week, and booked today. Jaquarius Littlejohn is the presumed guilty negro. No race of the victims has been given.
Also, under the Darwin Award category—on MY side of town (about a mile away), a group of negroes were running around Richmond Park at 5:30 a.m. (doing who knows what), when they decided to jump a locked gate and hit the swimming pool.
One of them (Damon Smith-Phillips) couldn't swim, and visited the bottom of the public pool, long enough to achieve nomination for a Darwin Award. According to WOOD.TV, none of the group had a working cellphone, and couldn't call police. When they arrived, it was too late.
Wonder what they were doing at 5:30 in the morning? This area used to be entirely white. Not no mo'---but there's one less black around, after their great idea for an early morning swim.
(Postscript: WOOD.TV is offering a "tease" related to this story. The family of the drowned negro lives in Detroit (natch), and has "questions" about what happened. They'll either blame the cops or someone else—so they can sue, or start a GoFundMe page. Normal black response nowadays. It couldn't be Smith-Phillips’ fault, could it?)

Italy: Muslim migrants beat Polish tourist, gang-rape his wife on Rimini beach
“Italy: Polish Man Beaten Unconscious and Wife Gang Raped on Rimini Beach, African Migrants Suspected,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, August 26, 2017:
A young couple from Poland were subjected to a “brutal and beastly attack” by four men suspected to be African migrants on a beach in Rimini, Italy.
The 26-year-olds were taking an evening stroll on their last night in the popular tourist spot when they were set upon by four men, Wiadomości reports.
The young man was beaten unconscious by the gang, who then subjected his partner to multiple rapes in front of him. Both were also robbed.
The Polish consulate in Milan say they are providing every assistance to the couple, who were both hospitalised following their ordeal.
Italian authorities have described the “brutal and beastial [sic] attack” as an “act of cruel aggression”, and called on the public “to cooperate with the police forces informing each and every element that may be of use in the investigation”….
The number of foreigners living in Italy as residents has rocketed by 25 per cent from 2012 to January 2017, and by an astonishing 270 per cent between 2002 and 2017 — statistics which may herald a significant and possibly irreversible demographic shift.

America’s Ur-Race Hoax: Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson
By Nicholas Stix
Is it possible for time—in this case, approximately 200 years—to transform an obvious lie into the truth?
That was a rhetorical question… or was it?
December, 2003
Middle American News
In today’s America, a race hoax industry manned by black activists and their white benefactors in the media, politics, and academia produces one outrage after another, with the aim of denigrating white heroes, elevating often obscure blacks, making black racists rich and powerful, and waging race war.
So it is with the smear invented in 1802, and in recent years conscripted anew to sully the name of arguably the most brilliant of all of America's Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826). The Jefferson-Hemings Hoax claims, without any evidence, that the third president, renaissance man, and author of the Declaration of Independence fathered the children of slave Sally Hemings (1773-1835). Hoaxers seek to drag Jefferson through the mud, expropriate his legacy on behalf of Hemings' descendants, and supplant scholarship with Afrocentric propaganda. The perpetrators of the Jefferson-Hemings hoax seek, without firing a single shot, to rob the American people of their patrimony.
In July, the New York Times published articles by Jefferson descendant, Lucian Truscott IV, and Times staffers James Dao and Brent Staples, insisting that “most everyone knows” (Truscott) that Jefferson had fathered some or all of Hemings’ children. Dao alleged that “compelling” DNA evidence existed, while Staples spoke of a “new reality” that vindicated the claims made for generations by “the black oral tradition.”
Truscott, Dao, and Staples all left out of their tales, that there is no evidence that Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings ever were lovers, that based on genetic evidence, any one of at least 25 men on Jefferson’s side of the family may have fathered one or more of Hemings’ children (Jefferson family historian Herbert Barger argues persuasively that Jefferson’s brother, Randolph, was Hemings’ lover.), and that the Jefferson paternity story was born as the fabrication of a disappointed office seeker (James Thomson Callender) with a history of libeling the Founding Fathers. Truscott and Staples resorted instead to insinuating that only a racist would deny the story.
The same race-baiting strategy prevails in academia, where scholar David N. Mayer observes, “…among many proponents of the Jefferson paternity claim there has emerged a truly disturbing McCarthyist-like inquisition that has cast its pall over Jefferson scholarship today. Questioning the validity of the claim has been equated with the denigration of African Americans and the denial of their rightful place in American history.”
Here’s what is known: Thomas Jefferson owned a slave named Sally Hemings. Hemings bore at least six children, but otherwise, little is known about her. During Hemings’ childbearing years, not even within the Jefferson clan, was she known as Thomas Jefferson’s lover.
In 1798, scandal-mongering newspaper editor James T. Callender, was imprisoned by President John Adams, under the Sedition Act. When Jefferson was elected president, and Callender freed, Callender demanded the job of postmaster of Richmond, Va. The demand was also a veiled threat. Although Jefferson had been Callender’s benefactor, he refused to meet the latter’s demand. Callender responded, in 1802, by loosing his libel on the world, claiming that Jefferson had a slave “concubine” named “Sally,” with whom he had fathered a child named “Tom.” (There is no evidence Hemings then had a son named Tom; her son, Thomas Eston, was not born until 1808.) Callender sought unsuccessfully to destroy Jefferson politically. In 1805, Jefferson privately denied the claim, and the myth died off.
After Jefferson’s death, propagandists periodically dug up the Callender hoax.
In 1954, racist Ebony magazine editor, Lerone Bennett Jr. (who later, in Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America, would claim that African seafarers had reached America before Europeans did), revived the hoax in an Ebony story.
In the 1970s, the myth was recycled by white “psychohistorian” Fawn Brodie, who simply projected her whimsical speculations onto the historical record.
The modern turning point in the hoax came with black law professor Annette Gordon-Reed’s 1997 book, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy. Gordon-Reed uncritically accepted certain black oral traditions, heaped abuse on leading Jefferson biographers, and misrepresented the contents of an 1858 letter by Jefferson’s granddaughter, Ellen Randolph Coolidge, to her husband, in which Coolidge had denied the possibility of a Jefferson-Hemings liaison.
Bryan Craig, research librarian at the Jefferson Library, at Monticello, Jefferson’s estate, faxed this reporter a photocopy of the original Coolidge letter.
The letter actually said, "His [Jefferson’s] apartments had no private entrance not perfectly accessible and visible to all the household. No female domestic ever entered his chambers except at hours when he was known not to be there and none could have entered without being exposed to the public gaze."
In Prof. Gordon-Reed’s hands, the second sentence changed, as if by magic, to "No female domestic ever entered his chambers except at hours when he was known not to be in the public gaze."
Gordon-Reed’s changes turned the letter’s meaning on its head, supporting claims that Jefferson could have had secret trysts with Hemings. Either Gordon-Reed committed one of the most dramatic copying errors in the annals of academia, or one of the most egregious acts of academic fraud of the past generation.
Ironically, it was Prof. Gordon-Reed, who politely, promptly, directed me to the Jefferson Library, where I obtained a copy of the original Coolidge letter. After I e-mailed her three times about the discrepancy, Prof. Gordon-Reed finally responded, “As to the discrepancy, there was an error in transcription in my book. It was corrected for future printings.”
In January, 2000, a panel of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation (TJMF, since renamed the Thomas Jefferson Foundation), which owns Jefferson’s Monticello home, released its Monticello report claiming there was a “strong likelihood” that Jefferson had fathered ALL of Hemings’ children.
The “scholars” who prepared the tendentious, 2000 Monticello report, led by Prof. Gordon-Reed’s reported friends, Dianne Swann-Wright and Lucia Stanton, could not be bothered to study the original Coolidge letter, and instead cited the false version published in Gordon-Reed’s book. Likewise, in 2000, Boston PBS station, WGBH, presented a “documentary,” Jefferson’s Blood, which perpetuated the hoax. The Monticello Report still cites the altered Coolidge letter (on p. 6, under "Primary Sources", and the PBS/WGBH web site for Jefferson’s Blood still has the phony version posted, in its entirety, three years after it was proven to be false, a practice typical of the Jefferson-Hemings hoax industry as a whole.
While in her book, Prof. Gordon-Reed purports not to take a position on whether Jefferson and Hemings were lovers, she takes the lawyer’s tack of “Plan B” made famous by the TV show, The Practice. She attacks all of the most celebrated white biographers of Jefferson, such as Dumas Malone, while accepting at face value dubious black oral traditions. Thus does Prof. Gordon-Reed set up the reader to fall for the hoax, with the false Coolidge letter providing the knockout punch. Supportive reviewers insisted that Gordon-Reed had proved the “possibility” of such an affair, ignoring the fact that unlike fiction, history is about what DID transpire, not what COULD HAVE transpired.
The party of tenured academic hoaxers now insists that the burden of proof rests on those who deny the existence of a Jefferson-Hemings liaison, to prove a negative! And so does the politics of racism enjoy yet another triumph over the truth.
In November, 1998, Nature magazine published an article based on the research of a team of scientists led by Dr. Eugene Foster, with the dishonest title, “Jefferson Fathered Slave’s Last Child.”
Although Foster & Co. could not possibly have confirmed (as opposed to disconfirming) Jefferson’s paternity, they leaped over the evidence to Foster’s desired conclusion: “The simplest and most probable explanations for our molecular findings "are that Thomas Jefferson … was the father of Eston Hemings Jefferson [sic] …”
Foster & Co. studied DNA from male-line descendants of Thomas Jefferson’s paternal uncle, Field Jefferson (who would have the same male Y chromosome as Thomas Jefferson), and from male-line descendants of Hemings’ last son, Eston, determining that one Jefferson male was Eston’s father. But that left at least 25 Jefferson men as candidates!
(An accompanying article in Nature by liberal historians Joseph Ellis and Eric Lander, sought to exploit the hoax, to rescue the authors’ sexually compromised hero, Bill Clinton.)
Descendants of Sally Hemings' son, Madison, refused to permit Madison's son, William, to be exhumed. Such cooperation would have resulted either in Madison's being shown to be the offspring of some male-line Jefferson, or of his being genetically excluded from the Jefferson line.
But male-line descendants of slave Thomas Woodson, whose family oral tradition insists he was born to Jefferson and Hemings, were genetically excluded from the Jefferson line. (The Thomas C. Woodson Family Association has ignored the finding.) Woodson has been assumed by the hoaxers to be the slave whom James T. Callender claimed was Hemings' first child (“Tom”). Either Woodson was not Hemings' son, or Hemings was not monogamous. If the former case is true, James T. Callender was a complete and utter liar. If the latter case is true, black oral traditions and contemporary pseudo-scholarship that have claimed that Hemings carried on an almost 40-year, monogamous love affair with Thomas Jefferson are refuted, and Hemings was not involved with ANY Jefferson male in late 1780s Paris, the time and place the legend insists the affair began.
Unscrupulous journalists and professors immediately insisted that the Foster study had “proven” that Jefferson was the father of Hemings’ children. The spirit of James T. Callender was alive and well.
The other source of claims of Jefferson’s paternity is the “black oral tradition.” However, the hoaxers have ignored Hemings descendants’ mutually contradictory oral traditions, the DNA evidence, the fact that Eston Hemings never claimed to be Jefferson’s child, and scholars’ persuasive argument that the “black oral tradition” that insists on Jefferson’s paternity, is itself the bastard offspring of the Callender hoax.
Racist black professors and journalists, and their elite white allies, now insist that black oral history be given pride of place over documentary evidence. But oral history has always been the stuff of myth, and in the case of the black tradition, often racist myth. Relying on “oral history” would open the door to instant historical rewrites through contemporary black race hoaxes.
Scandalized by the TJMF’s conduct, a group of scholars formed a blue-ribbon Scholars Commission. Excepting one dissent, its members found no evidence to support the Hemings story. Dissenter Paul A. Rahe, determined that although it was for him somewhat likelier than not that Thomas Jefferson fathered Eston Hemings (1808-?), ultimately the case was inconclusive. The Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society was also formed, and in 2001 published the invaluable book, The Jefferson-Hemings Myth: An American Travesty, that is highly critical of the Foster and TJMF reports, and accompanying media and academic circus.
The Jefferson-Hemings story is a case study in the use of scholarly and journalistic fraud and racial intimidation by people for whom the written word functions solely as a weapon in a race war. The Jefferson-Hemings hoaxers seek to steal America’s history, and replace it with a counterfeit version, in order to oppress America’s white majority.

Thanks for posting this. I somehow missed it when it originally appeared.
This persistent slander is a personal issue for me as a Jefferson descendant, but even if I were not, I think it would bother me greatly because it's so transparently an attempt to discredit a Founding Father, and by proxy White America. As you mentioned in the piece, the Clinton defenders resurrected this canard back during the Clinton scandals in an attempt to say that 'everybody has skeletons in their closet', and I remember that during that time, some Clintonista said 'great men have great vices' or something along those lines.
Anyway, you do a thorough job of dissecting the falsehoods, but it seems as if the people who have bought this myth, along with those who spread it for political reasons, do not care about facts. It may be that this myth is so firmly ensconced in the public consciousness that it is becoming one of those things that ''everybody knows'', even though it's likely untrue.

What really offends me about this article is the implication that Sally was a willing participant via the use of the term "lover." Would anyone suggest that a sexually abused Jewish woman was the lover of a nazi guard (during WW II)? I doubt it. It's equally appalling to believe that a female slave would consider her owner or any member of his family her lover.
Back to the point: You cannot possibly believe that Jefferson never sexually abused his slaves. At least not with 100% certainty. I can't even say that my personal view of Jefferson is 100% accurate. That being he was nothing more than a slave-owning pedophile. We are ALL going by assumptions based on personal biases, not facts.

Exactly.
"It may be that this myth is so firmly ensconced in the public consciousness that it is becoming one of those things that ''everybody knows'', even though it's likely untrue."
And that was exactly their purpose. Those who are indifferent or hostile towards the facts (see the next commenter) wanted to create an environment in which people who DO care about facts would be bamboozled into believing the former's fabrications.
Thanks for writing.

Those who are indifferent or hostile towards the facts--Stix
I can't be hostile towards the facts simply because I can't be certain what Jefferson did over 200years ago. He's dead, she's dead so I really don't care. All I can say is if a man took it upon himself to own human beings, I won't put anything passed him...whether rape, beatings, or even killing. Who knows, he could have treated his slaves with respect but that's wishful thinking.
If it were true that he fathered Hemmings's children, would he then cease to be a hero in your mind?
As for his black descendants, I see no logical reason why they would seek official recognition. After all, that would be legitimizing what most believe to be a crime...(rape).

Thomas Jeferson is a fascinating character in American history, as Ellis shows in his book American Sphinx.
Here was a man who admired the common man, yet despiesed Hamilton and Jackson for their common roots; who protested slavery, yet owned slaves; who championed small government, yet expanded the U.S., and it's national debt more than any president before him or for years after. He was a utopian, a peaceful man who encouraged James Madison to "destroy" Alenader Hamilton politically, financially and personally, while Jefferson himself smiled to Hamilton's face. (Not such a bad thing as it seems, in fact quite smart. Hamilton was a combat veteran and skilled duelist. Attacking Hamilton face to face would be the equivilent of the weakest kid in the class challanging the toughest to a fight.) He told Washington he shared his distatste for factions (political parties) while working hard to create the first modern political party in history. In short Jefferson gave lofty vision to ourhighest and best ideals, while falling far short of the reality of any of them.
Did he have children with Sally Hemings?
I don't know, neither do you or any of the people reading this. Was he capable of doing so?
I am certain he was.
Does it matter?
I think not in the least. Either way Jefferson was the same perfect dreamer of the American imagination; and the same frail and fallible human being of reality

I'm afraid the only person at odds with the facts in this is you:
"Only four recorded visits to Monticello (in September 1802, September 1805, May 1808, and sometime in 1814) are known, none related to Sally Hemings's conceptions. In August 1807, a probable conception time for Eston Hemings, Thomas Jefferson wrote his brother that "we shall be happy to see you also" at Monticello, where Randolph's twin sister, Anna Marks, was then visiting. A search of visitors' accounts, memorandum books, and Jefferson's published and unpublished correspondence provided no indication that Randolph did, in fact, come at this time. A similar search was made of the probable conception time for Madison Hemings, without finding reference to a Randolph Jefferson visit."

Wow does it bother white america that much that black american's can claim decendancy from the founder of the Declaration of Independence...

I would be very interested in seeing the original Coolidge letter. Since it was faxed to you, would you please scan, post and link to it, along with the Gordon-Reed email?
(I must admit, I wonder that anyone even has to request this, since your doing so at the beginning would have been the most natural, logical, journalistic thing to do for a reporter who is working so hard to "set the record straight.")

You’re kidding, right? The research librarian at the Jefferson Library faxed me the letter over six years ago. Since then, I’ve published over 300 articles. Do you think that I have nothing better to do, than keep material from over six years and 300-odd articles ago, that I used for a print magazine article ready to hand, in case Her Royal Highness, Queen Eileen Smyth, would demand to see it?
It would take me days to search for it. Are you going to pay me for my time? If so, send $500 via my PayPal button. In advance.
If you want to see the letter, get off your high horse, Queen Eileen, and do what I did. Contact the Jefferson Library! That would be “the most natural, logical” thing to do.

On October 25, 1858, Thomas Jefferson's granddaughter, Ellen Randolph Coolidge, wrote a letter to her husband Joseph in which she argued that the charge that Jefferson was sexually involved with Sally Hemings was false. This is a photocopy of one portion of that letter:
The handwritten letter, a photocopy of which is included in Appendix E of the TJMF Report, is not particularly difficult to read. The following is the passage in question, with the mistranscribed portion in bold face and underlined:
"His apartments had no private entrance not perfectly accessible and visible to all the household. No female domestic ever entered his chambers except at hours when he was known not to be there, and none could have entered without being exposed to the public gaze."
In the transcription of this letter that appears in Appendix E of Professor Annette Gordon-Reed's book, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings (see page 259), this key sentence was altered in such a way as to totally reverse the clear meaning of the original:
"No female domestic ever entered his chambers except at hours when he was known not to be in the public gaze."
N.B. This error in transcription could not be ascribed to a simple omission of words, since "to the public gaze" was changed to "in the public gaze." Without the change of "to" into "in," the altered sentence would have contained a grammatical error.
The Scholars Commission notes that it has no information about how or why these errors occurred, but it is clear that they have had an unfortunate impact upon the scholarship of even the leading historian at Monticello. While Appendix E to the TJMF Report included both versions, Lucia Stanton (former Director of Research at Monticello and currently Shannon Senior Research Historian at Monticello's International Center for Jefferson Studies) did not notice the error and indeed quoted the inaccurate Gordon-Reed version of this key sentence in response to questions from the Scholars Commission.
As one member of the Scholars Commission remarked: "Someone once said that if you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters and an infinite amount of time, they would recreate all of the great literary works of history (or something like that). But the odds of a single human being 'accidentally' changing 13 words in a single sentence in a manner that just happened to totally reverse its meaning, and just happening to have made the 'errors' in the most critical sentence of the document, strike me as being high."
The LIAR here is Dianne Swann-Wright, who has YET to correct her "error" nor to apologize for this LIE which smeared not just the memory of this great man, but in essence the entire nation.

Yes, I can believe that, and I can believe it with 100% certainty, and my view of Mr. Jefferson is 100% accurate. I was a next door neighbor to Monticello while in his university, and visited there regularly where I read many of his writings which now seem to have disappeared. A visit from there to the slave quarters was very easy, and you would see that it would not be at all convenient to sexually abuse slaves there. The ONLY person in all of history to actually make that claim was the LIAR Callendar whose stories were never confirmed by anyone else at the household, and were denied in writing by Mr. Jefferson in hundreds of ways.
Furthermore, after Thomas Woodson et. al. demanded that his grave be desecrated in order to prove their "verbal history" that they are were his descendants and DNA tests proved they were NOT, they then decided to run wiht the "verbal history". What chutzpah.
His own granddaughter confirmed what she saw, which is that it would be impossible for Hemmings to be in his room without the household knowing it, AND that she never believed he ever had sex with her (or any other slave). It was this KEY witness whose WRITTEN account was altered by LIAR Dianne Swann-Wright to DECEIVE the whole world, including YOU, into believing this provable, proven, discredited (not to mention racist) LIE.

Is it possible for time—in this case, approximately 200 years—to transform an obvious lie into the truth?
That was a rhetorical question… or was it?
Giving Thomas Jefferson the Business: The Sally Hemings Hoax
By Nicholas StixDecember, 2003
Middle American News
In today’s America, a race hoax industry manned by black activists and their white benefactors in the media, politics, and academia produces one outrage after another, with the aim of denigrating white heroes, elevating often obscure blacks, making black racists rich and powerful, and waging race war.
So it is with the smear invented in 1802, and in recent years conscripted anew to sully the name of arguably the most brilliant of all of America's Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826). The Jefferson-Hemings Hoax claims, without any evidence, that the third president, renaissance man, and author of the Declaration of Independence fathered the children of slave Sally Hemings (1773-1835). Hoaxers seek to drag Jefferson through the mud, expropriate his legacy on behalf of Hemings' descendants, and supplant scholarship with Afrocentric propaganda. The perpetrators of the Jefferson-Hemings hoax seek, without firing a single shot, to rob the American people of their patrimony.
In July, the New York Times published articles by Jefferson descendant, Lucian Truscott IV, and Times staffers James Dao and Brent Staples, insisting that “most everyone knows” (Truscott) that Jefferson had fathered some or all of Hemings’ children. Dao alleged that “compelling” DNA evidence existed, while Staples spoke of a “new reality” that vindicated the claims made for generations by “the black oral tradition.”
Truscott, Dao, and Staples all left out of their tales, that there is no evidence that Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings ever were lovers, that based on genetic evidence, any one of at least 25 men on Jefferson’s side of the family may have fathered one or more of Hemings’ children (Jefferson family historian Herbert Barger argues persuasively that Jefferson’s brother, Randolph, was Hemings’ lover.), and that the Jefferson paternity story was born as the fabrication of a disappointed office seeker (James Thomson Callender) with a history of libeling the Founding Fathers. Truscott and Staples resorted instead to insinuating that only a racist would deny the story.
The same race-baiting strategy prevails in academia, where scholar David N. Mayer observes, “…among many proponents of the Jefferson paternity claim there has emerged a truly disturbing McCarthyist-like inquisition that has cast its pall over Jefferson scholarship today. Questioning the validity of the claim has been equated with the denigration of African Americans and the denial of their rightful place in American history.”
Here’s what is known: Thomas Jefferson owned a slave named Sally Hemings. Hemings bore at least six children, but otherwise, little is known about her. During Hemings’ childbearing years, not even within the Jefferson clan, was she known as Thomas Jefferson’s lover.
In 1798, scandal-mongering newspaper editor James T. Callender, was imprisoned by President John Adams, under the Sedition Act. When Jefferson was elected president, and Callender freed, Callender demanded the job of postmaster of Richmond, Va. The demand was also a veiled threat. Although Jefferson had been Callender’s benefactor, he refused to meet the latter’s demand. Callender responded, in 1802, by loosing his libel on the world, claiming that Jefferson had a slave “concubine” named “Sally,” with whom he had fathered a child named “Tom.” (There is no evidence Hemings then had a son named Tom; her son, Thomas Eston, was not born until 1808.) Callender sought unsuccessfully to destroy Jefferson politically. In 1805, Jefferson privately denied the claim, and the myth died off.
After Jefferson’s death, propagandists periodically dug up the Callender hoax.
In 1954, racist Ebony magazine editor, Lerone Bennett Jr. (who later, in Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America, would claim that African seafarers had reached America before Europeans did), revived the hoax in an Ebony story.
In the 1970s, the myth was recycled by white “psychohistorian” Fawn Brodie, who simply projected her whimsical speculations onto the historical record.
The modern turning point in the hoax came with black law professor Annette Gordon-Reed’s 1997 book, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy. Gordon-Reed uncritically accepted certain black oral traditions, heaped abuse on leading Jefferson biographers, and misrepresented the contents of an 1858 letter by Jefferson’s granddaughter, Ellen Randolph Coolidge, to her husband, in which Coolidge had denied the possibility of a Jefferson-Hemings liaison.
Bryan Craig, research librarian at the Jefferson Library, at Monticello, Jefferson’s estate, faxed this reporter a photocopy of the original Coolidge letter.
The letter actually said, "His [Jefferson’s] apartments had no private entrance not perfectly accessible and visible to all the household. No female domestic ever entered his chambers except at hours when he was known not to be there and none could have entered without being exposed to the public gaze."
In Prof. Gordon-Reed’s hands, the second sentence changed, as if by magic, to "No female domestic ever entered his chambers except at hours when he was known not to be in the public gaze."
Gordon-Reed’s changes turned the letter’s meaning on its head, supporting claims that Jefferson could have had secret trysts with Hemings. Either Gordon-Reed committed one of the most dramatic copying errors in the annals of academia, or one of the most egregious acts of academic fraud of the past generation.
Ironically, it was Prof. Gordon-Reed, who politely, promptly, directed me to the Jefferson Library, where I obtained a copy of the original Coolidge letter. After I e-mailed her three times about the discrepancy, Prof. Gordon-Reed finally responded, “As to the discrepancy, there was an error in transcription in my book. It was corrected for future printings.”
In January, 2000, a panel of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation (TJMF, since renamed the Thomas Jefferson Foundation), which owns Jefferson’s Monticello home, released its Monticello report claiming there was a “strong likelihood” that Jefferson had fathered ALL of Hemings’ children.
The “scholars” who prepared the tendentious, 2000 Monticello report, led by Prof. Gordon-Reed’s reported friends, Dianne Swann-Wright and Lucia Stanton, could not be bothered to study the original Coolidge letter, and instead cited the false version published in Gordon-Reed’s book. Likewise, in 2000, Boston PBS station, WGBH, presented a “documentary,” Jefferson’s Blood, which perpetuated the hoax. The Monticello Report still cites the altered Coolidge letter (on p. 6, under "Primary Sources", and the PBS/WGBH web site for Jefferson’s Blood still has the phony version posted, in its entirety, three years after it was proven to be false, a practice typical of the Jefferson-Hemings hoax industry as a whole.
While in her book, Prof. Gordon-Reed purports not to take a position on whether Jefferson and Hemings were lovers, she takes the lawyer’s tack of “Plan B” made famous by the TV show, The Practice. She attacks all of the most celebrated white biographers of Jefferson, such as Dumas Malone, while accepting at face value dubious black oral traditions. Thus does Prof. Gordon-Reed set up the reader to fall for the hoax, with the false Coolidge letter providing the knockout punch. Supportive reviewers insisted that Gordon-Reed had proved the “possibility” of such an affair, ignoring the fact that unlike fiction, history is about what DID transpire, not what COULD HAVE transpired.
The party of tenured academic hoaxers now insists that the burden of proof rests on those who deny the existence of a Jefferson-Hemings liaison, to prove a negative! And so does the politics of racism enjoy yet another triumph over the truth.
In November, 1998, Nature magazine published an article based on the research of a team of scientists led by Dr. Eugene Foster, with the dishonest title, “Jefferson Fathered Slave’s Last Child.”
Although Foster & Co. could not possibly have confirmed (as opposed to disconfirming) Jefferson’s paternity, they leaped over the evidence to Foster’s desired conclusion: “The simplest and most probable explanations for our molecular findings "are that Thomas Jefferson … was the father of Eston Hemings Jefferson [sic] …”
Foster & Co. studied DNA from male-line descendants of Thomas Jefferson’s paternal uncle, Field Jefferson (who would have the same male Y chromosome as Thomas Jefferson), and from male-line descendants of Hemings’ last son, Eston, determining that one Jefferson male was Eston’s father. But that left at least 25 Jefferson men as candidates!
(An accompanying article in Nature by liberal historians Joseph Ellis and Eric Lander, sought to exploit the hoax, to rescue the authors’ sexually compromised hero, Bill Clinton.)
Descendants of Sally Hemings' son, Madison, refused to permit Madison's son, William, to be exhumed. Such cooperation would have resulted either in Madison's being shown to be the offspring of some male-line Jefferson, or of his being genetically excluded from the Jefferson line.
But male-line descendants of slave Thomas Woodson, whose family oral tradition insists he was born to Jefferson and Hemings, were genetically excluded from the Jefferson line. (The Thomas C. Woodson Family Association has ignored the finding.) Woodson has been assumed by the hoaxers to be the slave whom James T. Callender claimed was Hemings' first child (“Tom”). Either Woodson was not Hemings' son, or Hemings was not monogamous. If the former case is true, James T. Callender was a complete and utter liar. If the latter case is true, black oral traditions and contemporary pseudo-scholarship that have claimed that Hemings carried on an almost 40-year, monogamous love affair with Thomas Jefferson are refuted, and Hemings was not involved with ANY Jefferson male in late 1780s Paris, the time and place the legend insists the affair began.
Unscrupulous journalists and professors immediately insisted that the Foster study had “proven” that Jefferson was the father of Hemings’ children. The spirit of James T. Callender was alive and well.
The other source of claims of Jefferson’s paternity is the “black oral tradition.” However, the hoaxers have ignored Hemings descendants’ mutually contradictory oral traditions, the DNA evidence, the fact that Eston Hemings never claimed to be Jefferson’s child, and scholars’ persuasive argument that the “black oral tradition” that insists on Jefferson’s paternity, is itself the bastard offspring of the Callender hoax.
Racist black professors and journalists, and their elite white allies, now insist that black oral history be given pride of place over documentary evidence. But oral history has always been the stuff of myth, and in the case of the black tradition, often racist myth. Relying on “oral history” would open the door to instant historical rewrites through contemporary black race hoaxes.
Scandalized by the TJMF’s conduct, a group of scholars formed a blue-ribbon Scholars Commission. Excepting one dissent, its members found no evidence to support the Hemings story. Dissenter Paul A. Rahe, determined that although it was for him somewhat likelier than not that Thomas Jefferson fathered Eston Hemings (1808-?), ultimately the case was inconclusive. The Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society was also formed, and in 2001 published the invaluable book, The Jefferson-Hemings Myth: An American Travesty, that is highly critical of the Foster and TJMF reports, and accompanying media and academic circus.
The Jefferson-Hemings story is a case study in the use of scholarly and journalistic fraud and racial intimidation by people for whom the written word functions solely as a weapon in a race war. The Jefferson-Hemings hoaxers seek to steal America’s history, and replace it with a counterfeit version, in order to oppress America’s white majority.

Thanks for posting this. I somehow missed it when it originally appeared.
This persistent slander is a personal issue for me as a Jefferson descendant, but even if I were not, I think it would bother me greatly because it's so transparently an attempt to discredit a Founding Father, and by proxy White America. As you mentioned in the piece, the Clinton defenders resurrected this canard back during the Clinton scandals in an attempt to say that 'everybody has skeletons in their closet', and I remember that during that time, some Clintonista said 'great men have great vices' or something along those lines.
Anyway, you do a thorough job of dissecting the falsehoods, but it seems as if the people who have bought this myth, along with those who spread it for political reasons, do not care about facts. It may be that this myth is so firmly ensconced in the public consciousness that it is becoming one of those things that ''everybody knows'', even though it's likely untrue.

What really offends me about this article is the implication that Sally was a willing participant via the use of the term "lover." Would anyone suggest that a sexually abused Jewish woman was the lover of a nazi guard (during WW II)? I doubt it. It's equally appalling to believe that a female slave would consider her owner or any member of his family her lover.
Back to the point: You cannot possibly believe that Jefferson never sexually abused his slaves. At least not with 100% certainty. I can't even say that my personal view of Jefferson is 100% accurate. That being he was nothing more than a slave-owning pedophile. We are ALL going by assumptions based on personal biases, not facts.

Exactly.
"It may be that this myth is so firmly ensconced in the public consciousness that it is becoming one of those things that ''everybody knows'', even though it's likely untrue."
And that was exactly their purpose. Those who are indifferent or hostile towards the facts (see the next commenter) wanted to create an environment in which people who DO care about facts would be bamboozled into believing the former's fabrications.
Thanks for writing.

Those who are indifferent or hostile towards the facts--Stix
I can't be hostile towards the facts simply because I can't be certain what Jefferson did over 200years ago. He's dead, she's dead so I really don't care. All I can say is if a man took it upon himself to own human beings, I won't put anything passed him...whether rape, beatings, or even killing. Who knows, he could have treated his slaves with respect but that's wishful thinking.
If it were true that he fathered Hemmings's children, would he then cease to be a hero in your mind?
As for his black descendants, I see no logical reason why they would seek official recognition. After all, that would be legitimizing what most believe to be a crime...(rape).

Thomas Jeferson is a fascinating character in American history, as Ellis shows in his book American Sphinx.
Here was a man who admired the common man, yet despiesed Hamilton and Jackson for their common roots; who protested slavery, yet owned slaves; who championed small government, yet expanded the U.S., and it's national debt more than any president before him or for years after. He was a utopian, a peaceful man who encouraged James Madison to "destroy" Alenader Hamilton politically, financially and personally, while Jefferson himself smiled to Hamilton's face. (Not such a bad thing as it seems, in fact quite smart. Hamilton was a combat veteran and skilled duelist. Attacking Hamilton face to face would be the equivilent of the weakest kid in the class challanging the toughest to a fight.) He told Washington he shared his distatste for factions (political parties) while working hard to create the first modern political party in history. In short Jefferson gave lofty vision to ourhighest and best ideals, while falling far short of the reality of any of them.
Did he have children with Sally Hemings?
I don't know, neither do you or any of the people reading this. Was he capable of doing so?
I am certain he was.
Does it matter?
I think not in the least. Either way Jefferson was the same perfect dreamer of the American imagination; and the same frail and fallible human being of reality

I'm afraid the only person at odds with the facts in this is you:
"Only four recorded visits to Monticello (in September 1802, September 1805, May 1808, and sometime in 1814) are known, none related to Sally Hemings's conceptions. In August 1807, a probable conception time for Eston Hemings, Thomas Jefferson wrote his brother that "we shall be happy to see you also" at Monticello, where Randolph's twin sister, Anna Marks, was then visiting. A search of visitors' accounts, memorandum books, and Jefferson's published and unpublished correspondence provided no indication that Randolph did, in fact, come at this time. A similar search was made of the probable conception time for Madison Hemings, without finding reference to a Randolph Jefferson visit."

Wow does it bother white america that much that black american's can claim decendancy from the founder of the Declaration of Independence... The concept that the children of a slave do not have rights to their lineage is outdated as slavery itself.. and yes many "slave" women did take the place as the master's "lover" .. this wasnt aushwitz... come on people get with the program!!!!!1

The President Upholds the Law, Against a Rogue Judge
Re-posted by Nicholas Stix
Friday, August 25, 2017
President Trump just pardoned Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, a longtime target of race-baiting Marxists who hated the fact that he upheld the law as she is writ.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton -- a Clinton appointee -- slapped him with a criminal contempt of court ruling last month, which prompted Trump to issue a pardon. Neither Congress nor the Supreme Court can overturn.
It will be fun watching the liberals go all "law and order" over the pardon.
But a presidential pardon is law and it is order.
The Constitution and the 2016 election granted Donald John Trump the authority to pardon Joe Arpaio.
This is a use of that power, not an abuse.
Don't let the blankety-blanks re-frame this matter as some sort of over-reach.
The over-reach was by Judge Bolton who wanted to stop the sheriff from upholding the law.
He's 85. He has served the nation proudly, and the people of Arizona well.
But the media hates them because the media apes Democrats, and bleats and repeats their talking points.
From the New Yorker before Trump pardoned Arpaio:
Arpaio is scheduled to be sentenced for the contempt-of-court charge on October 5th, and he could serve up to six months in prison. If Trump chooses to pardon him, it will be a gift to the white nationalists. But it will also signal a broad-brush contempt for fundamental rights in this country. As Paul Charlton, a former U.S. Attorney in Arizona, told the Washington Post, “If you pardon that kind of conduct, if you forgive that behavior, you are acknowledging that racist conduct in law enforcement is worth the kind of mercy that underlies a pardon — and it’s not. And it’s an abuse of the President’s discretion. It’s an injustice, and speaks volumes about the President’s disregard for civil rights if this pardon takes place.” That’s true, but Trump’s praise for Arpaio speaks loudly already.
From the New York Times also before the pardon:
While the Constitution, in contrast, recognizes the very practical need for an executive, that doesn’t mean its framers feared the growth of tyranny any less. The Fifth Amendment’s guarantee of neutral judicial process before deprivation of liberty cannot function with a weaponized pardon power that enables President Trump, or any president, to circumvent judicial protections of constitutional rights.
Actually, the Founding Fathers realized that the courts could be used to railroad people -- that injustices occur that only a president can cure.
The judge abused her power.
President Trump just trumped her.

The Constitution and the 2016 election granted Donald John Trump the authority to pardon Joe Arpaio.
This is a use of that power, not an abuse.
Don't let the blankety-blanks re-frame this matter as some sort of over-reach.
The over-reach was by Judge Bolton who wanted to stop the sheriff from upholding the law.
He's 85. He has served the nation proudly, and the people of Arizona well.
But the media hates them because the media apes Democrats, and bleats and repeats their talking points.
From the New Yorker before Trump pardoned Arpaio:
Arpaio is scheduled to be sentenced for the contempt-of-court charge on October 5th, and he could serve up to six months in prison. If Trump chooses to pardon him, it will be a gift to the white nationalists. But it will also signal a broad-brush contempt for fundamental rights in this country. As Paul Charlton, a former U.S. Attorney in Arizona, told the Washington Post, “If you pardon that kind of conduct, if you forgive that behavior, you are acknowledging that racist conduct in law enforcement is worth the kind of mercy that underlies a pardon — and it’s not. And it’s an abuse of the President’s discretion. It’s an injustice, and speaks volumes about the President’s disregard for civil rights if this pardon takes place.” That’s true, but Trump’s praise for Arpaio speaks loudly already.
From the New York Times also before the pardon:
While the Constitution, in contrast, recognizes the very practical need for an executive, that doesn’t mean its framers feared the growth of tyranny any less. The Fifth Amendment’s guarantee of neutral judicial process before deprivation of liberty cannot function with a weaponized pardon power that enables President Trump, or any president, to circumvent judicial protections of constitutional rights.
Actually, the Founding Fathers realized that the courts could be used to railroad people -- that injustices occur that only a president can cure.
The judge abused her power.
President Trump just trumped her.
What is the Ideal Percentage of Muslims in a Free Society?
Re-posted by Nicholas Stix
Anonymouse’s meditation caused me to think in parallel terms: What other demographic groups manage to render any country they are minorities in completely violent, dysfunctional, and unlivable?

I came across this argument earlier today:
According to the left…
1) Muslim extremists are an extremely tiny minority of the overall Muslim population.
2) They’re such a small minority of Muslims that Muslim immigrants pose no serious threat to Western countries…
3) …despite the fact that, despite being an incredibly tiny minority of Muslims, they have managed to render multiple Muslim-majority countries completely violent, dysfunctional, and unlivable.
It’s not up to us to answer the Left’s math problem of “what fraction of Muslims are extremists?” It doesn’t matter if it’s 91%, 1%, or 0.1%. Whatever percentage it is, it’s enough to have turned many Muslim countries into complete messes. We’re supposed to assume – on faith, I guess – that what they have done to their own countries they can’t do to ours.

Update on Grand Rapids Gang Attack: It’s the Usual Suspects, but WOOD.TV Lied about It

[Previously, by GRA, on this hate crime:
“Grand Rapids Man Tries to Celebrate His Birthday with His Father and Friends; Instead, One Raceless Man Asks Him for Money, and 4 More Raceless “Men” Coincidentally Driving by, Stop and Assault Them All, Leaving the Man with a Severe Brain Injury…”.]
This report from FOX 17 verifies it was a gang of blacks as perps. Figured as much. WOODTV are pussies for not naming the race.

(FOX17) GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Grand Rapids police are asking for help in finding four men who allegedly assaulted four others this past weekend, leaving one man with a severe brain injury.
Police say the incident happened Saturday night around midnight in a parking lot in Eastown, in the 1400 block of Lake Drive SE. The injured man, a 21-year-old, was out with his father and two other men celebrating his birthday when a man who appeared to homeless approached them asking for money. The four men declined, but then a dark-colored SUV pulled up to the scene. The driver and three others got out of the SUV and started assaulting the four men. The suspects then fled in the SUV.
The 21-year-old suffered a brain injury and has been hospitalized. The other three received non-life threatening injuries.
The four suspects are described as being black men in their 20s. The driver was described as being large, and built like a body builder. The other three had average builds.
GRA: Now just an interview with the other three victims, will show with 99% certainty that they were white (my guess). Who else could it be?
