Brother Moussa,

I deeply appreciate your response on sister scholar. This post generated 4 responses on the Star Tribune and 46 on facebook. The one of facebook that upset me the most speaks to your assertion that it's a Virginia Thing.

One person (whom I will not name), wrote,

"I might write that most whites are unaware/don't care about this situation. Perhaps you are referring to the Monticello Association, an organization I had never heard of until I had read your piece.

Being the grandchild of Eastern European Jewish immigrants, it seems likely there will never be one of my ilk in the White House during my lifetime."

This person is the incoming chief of staff at a major hospital and is working on his MBA. Many would find him to be intellectually gifted.

As we used to say in the '80s, "It's a Black thing, you just don't understand."

Your Black Virginian Friend,

Duch

Well, Prof, I actually have met and interacted with a number of people who calim kinship with Mr. Jefferson in my formative years in the District. Recently in Glosuter, VA, I met a gentleman who offered to tell me the story of how he connected with Hemings and Madison Jennings. Seems the old planter were closer than even the records demonstrate. I by this I intend nothing salacious. I'm just saying. It's a Virginia Thing. I doubt if the rest of the US would understand.

Your Boy,

Khalid Moussa
