Voici donc un extrait de ce texte d'un professeur de philosophie de l'Université Notre-Dame. L'auteur précise qu'il est noir.
"Why does Monticello allow visitors to tour the house and then skip over its related slave sites? Why does Monticello not demand that its visitors consider that Jefferson was so exacting that he rubbed his horses with a white cloth to check that their grooming met his standards? How does Monticello reconcile its claim that Jefferson was “kind” to his slaves with the fact that his favorite overseer was the most brutal? How can “kind” ever be an adjective used to describe a slave owner? Doesn’t owning people, raping women, selling children and destroying families preclude kindness?"
