He took his wife's half sister as wife, after his wife died, she was considered Black American.
Those descendants were denied membership in the "descendants of Thomas Jefferson" club; that was until they did the genetic testing and found the official descendants had somehow been cucked (there was only one male, found not to be descendant, so it's claimed)
The ones from the black lineage all were authentic.
None of the "Jeffersons" who descend from the famous President look at all Black American, by now.
They moved to Chicago. and were denied status. But always knew the truth from it being handed down in their family.
From what I remember there are no male descendants from his first wife;
I believe they tweeked the story from what I learned some years ago.
Many of the descendants appear "white" I guess they have to "white - wash" that?
no pun
seems like they can't talk about that because Propaganda in the mass media needs to push black pride, and slight whites?
When I read about this some years ago the only descendants they found for the article appeared to be white americans.
They just might not have found the others yet.
The society of descendants had blocked the second line from membership for hundreds of years.
So when they finally did the genetic testing the descendants of the second wife were let into the club.
It could be the ones agitating to be in the official club all looked white, and those were the ones the articles I read were able to contact.
