A complicated issue may often be better understood By breaking it down into a few undeniable facts. This is especially helpful with comprehending An issue that is new, or unfamiliar. For example: Thomas Jefferson was a famous American, A man of many accomplishments. He was a scholar, a scientist, An inventor, an author, A musician, a statesman, A president, and a plantation owner. As a plantation owner, He was also a racist, A slave owner, And a rapist Who exploited the labor Of fellow human beings For his own profit. That is all verifiable history. It’s as simple as that. Let the truth be told. That’s critical race theory. THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR SALLY HEMINGS & EMMETT TILL
