Thomas Jefferson Meets Sally Hemings - SNL 

Dolomite fan #1 dead!

What DNA testing exists proves that Thomas Jefferson did NOT father 6 of Sally Hemmings children . This skit is BS. There were 8 Jeffersons who could have fathered Hemmings children and the DNA testing proved that Thomas Woodson, one of her children, was NOT Jefferson's child.

@@edbenti5007 it actually proves it, the evidence is there, it was a common practice at that time no need to be surprised.

Réka Bordás-Simon I know this is long but informative read ! Genetic DNA paternity testing requires the testing of a Y chromosome from a male descendant of the subject because the Y chromosome in males remains virtually unchanged from generation to generation. But Thomas Jefferson had no male descendant s from which to take a DNA sample. His only son had died at birth. Since Jefferson had no male descendants ,researchers chose to test the Y chromosome from the descendants of Field Jefferson, Thomas’s uncle. Researchers found that the configuration of the Y chromosome in the descendants of Field Jefferson- a general configuration common to the entire Jefferson family-was indeed present in the descendants of sally Hemings youngest child , Easton. Therefore on the basis of DNA testing the most that the researchers could conclusively say was that some Jefferson Male and there were 26 Jefferson males living in the area at the time! -Herbert Barger,the Jefferson family historian and genealogist who assisted in the DNA testing,explained:my study indicates to me that Thomas Jefferson was NOT the father of Easton or any other Himmings child. The DNA study... indicates that Randolph [Thomas’younger brother]is possibly the father of Easton and maybe the others...three of sally Hemings children,Harriet,Beverly,and Easton (the latter two not common names), were given names of the Randolph family. -the Scholars ‘ commission arrived at the same conclusion.significantly, that group had not been composed of Jefferson supporters ; in fact, several of the scholars had believed that Jefferson might be the father of hemings’children. But after a year investigating the evidence they all concluded that Randolph , Jefferson ‘s younger brother was indeed the most likely father,explaining: The circumstantial case that Easton Hemings was fathered by the president’s Younger brother is many times stronger than the case against the president himself.among the considerations which might point to Randolph are: -In”memoirs of a Monticello Slave” former slave Isaac Jefferson asserts that when Randolph Jefferson visited Monticello,he “used to come out among black people,and play fiddle and dance half the night...” in contrast, we have not A single account of Thomas Jefferson spending his nights socializing with the slaves in such a manner - we have Jefferson s letter inviting Randolph to come to Monticello shortly before Sally became pregnant with Easton. It was common for such visits to last for weeks!

Really fucking funny

Yep, Ole Nasty Massa

And she was 14, so there's that.

Yup

Truth's Ronin Thomas Jefferson did not father Thomas Woodson DNA results have proven he has no Jefferson DNA. That means all the books and made for TV shows about Jefferson and Hemmings In Paris are BS! Also they had a blue ribbon panel go over the evidence and they concluded Jefferson’s brother was the likely father of Hemings only other child linked by DNA to The Jefferson family Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: The Search for Truth ...

B. Gaudin, the DNA evidence NEVER proved that the President fathered ANY of Hemmings' children. He had a younger brother who had 5 sons who were in their teens and early 20s when Hemmings had her children. Those other Jeffersons shared the President's DNA.

Preach! This skit is gross

Wiliam Forsythe or educate yourself about this disgusting situation. Thomas was 44 and sally was 14. She could not refuse him or do anything abt it because she was just property

@Wiliam Forsythe you sound like a trumpist; a fiery idiot.

Sally was a little confused about self respect she slept with every single man

Yeah ok RU-vid historian

@Levis. H actually men having sex with girls young enough to be their daughters was not as common place back then as people think. For example, on average women back then married in their late teens or early twenties. Among the lower classes in Virginia (where Jefferson lived), the average age of brides was 23, with grooms averaging 26; so you can see the average bride and groom were very close in age.

Jefferson inherited sally from his father in law who shares DNA with his wife. Sally was groomed to be a sex slave.

@Levis. H...because funny enough it's disgusting to actually own a human being and then take advantage of her while she's still a minor?

So sally was a friggin 15 year old who married a 6-something male

Also Thomas Jefferson did not have a beard

bwaaaaahhhhaaaaa

Yeah, New Yorkers denying the blood on their hands.

Tony Azzaro LMAO

Tony Azzaro, you cannot say no to the slave master, it means your life!

Tony Azzaro White people.

Every introvert's motto. 😂😂😂😂😂

LMAO 😂😂 @Steel Here

That shit was funny

@jeff lockaby I understand your stance because I come from slavery lineage but its a comedy show and that is how I'm viewing it as just a show.

That is not funny

I cringed. This part was too real.

Stephen Hall why?

narutoasas. Respecting personal space. Black women have this strange idea that they are people and like most people, they do NOT want strangers touching them, their hair, their bodies, etc unless invited to. Humans pet animals and "touch" inanimate things as a matter of course. DECENT humans recognize the sanctity of personal space and so do not assume they can pet random humans like they are animals or a coat.. Plus. You never know where strange hands have been.

@@queenbeethatme1009 is it acceptable to ask for permission, or is that considered rude too?

Rahr which part of africa dude?, coz in my country thats a no no.

Yeah, really! And consider what Hamilton himself said about what he wanted in a wife: "She must be young, handsome (I lay most stress upon a good shape) ..."

ELIZA IS A PRECIOUS BEAN AND MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES

kiera HE MUST BURN

@beanie_ eyelash 😂😂I was ready to fight too when he said that about Eliza!

no i was just about to say this, they literally have the perfect person playing Thomas Jefferson because that man LOVE black women 😂

He took this seriously and now he's crying 😂

​@@nick56677Nice joke but sally wasn't even blk

@@sendmeyourlocation1145Um…check your history.

@@sendmeyourlocation1145 According to the laws of the country, she certainly was.

Slow down there TJ

Maya Rudolph is beautiful everywhere

she sure is, in temperament as well.

Maya is always beautiful.

Beautiful like her Mama🙏🏽RIP Minnie🎤🎤The Perfect Angel🎼

She looks more like white woman here

Maria was Thomas Jefferson daughter name keep in mind The America mother Country England was ruling our ansctors in India at this time India was ruled by the East India trading company in 1790. But not completely .

@the honeywesteffect: Imo, in this sketch, Maya looks like her mom, the late, great, gone-too soon, Minnie Riperton her skin is just about two shades lighter. I remember everyone was shocked and so sad when Minnie died because she was so young and at the pinnacle of her career.

She always does

old jokes are the best. In fact I think this joke is older even than coffee

i wonder how he had his coffee against it's will

Dee B exactly, the writers of this sketch found the violation, rape and torture of black women during slavery as grounds for humor compared to the fetishism of black women today - it's a dated unfunny skit

The Real Machine Gun Kelly And thats NOT rascist or sexist???

Texas Rebel no because it’s a sketch. A joke. It’s not supposed to be serious or a message.

That’s funny?

Yeah the joke is that in real life De Niro is into black women

yeap

King Taharqa His second wife of color that is. His first was back in the 70's...

King Taharqa the creepy thing about Sally hennings was like 14 when he met her and was his wife half sister

duh I guess the joke went right over your head

Marsha Creary thank you for you comments

Thank you for the information. I dint understand why people can comprehend grooming and child molestation or nit having an option to refuse when slavery or black history is involved. He could have ANY kind of sex and sexual act with her. This was just sad to me. Goodness!!!! Her bedroom was next to his. FRIGHTENING! So sad.

Sexual relationship.......hmmmmm.....she didn't have the option of consent. It's not a relationship, it's rape. If refused there would be threat of consequences, it's rape.

Furthermore, she came as an infant, as property.....so she was probably groomed for that role like so many. On the surface it's funny, and comedy....but when you really think about it, it's quite disturbing and creepy how his behavior is excused because he was a prominent historical figure it's actually molester behavior. Colonial US history is filled with characters that we've been given these lies about, and it's not about being politically correct, but more about telling truths, and stopping myths and delusions. You know like how George Washington was a great Man.

charlene hughes-peseta George Washington was the greatest American ever.

Disturbing

Emmy P, think you mean Woody Allen’s “child/ STEPDAUGHTER bride.” In other words, Woody Allen’s then-PARTNER’S (Mia Farrow’s) adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. Ms. Farrow then broke up with Mr. Allen (they never actually married or lived together). I would’ve, too. Makes me gag just remembering back in 1991, 92, when Woody Allen did these really, really WEIRD things.

14 not 16

Or Morgan freeman who adopted a little girl with his wife and saw her grow up then started an intimate relationship with her that lasted years until she was beaten to death by her boyfriend who was jealous of Morgan’s continued hold on her. No babies. I think Morgan did not want any. Then took the house back after her death which he had gifted her. Nobody ever talks about that.

NorwaySummer how is it a joke on Deniro?

Twitter is being sued by two separate parties on very solid grounds and for shit tons of money. I hope it'll bankrupt them. They're destroying this country.

@@morpheus6749 twitter is destroying this country? Not racist WHITES acting like victims? Yeah, ok🙄

I know right!! @Royal Russell

Kelly Robinson The only people who accuse others of racism at the drop of a hat are those who are racists themselves. Take a good long look in the mirror.

life liberty and the pursue of happiness

Now thats a t shirt

You do know I hope that there exists no proof that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with a 13 year old Sally Hemmings? The DNA evidence only proves that A Jefferson was responsible for at least one of her children, and there were EIGHT Jeffersons who could have done that.

😂😂😂😂

Pursuit ****

Kitty he’s sooo tall!!!

It's funny when Ghengis Khan does it.

No evidence that it was rape

@@xandro2445 her being so young would be statutory. But she was also property. The lines are blurry with the time period. But it's so sad and so wrong regardless.

Bruh it’s still funny and I already know the whole story

@@Dennis-nc3vw And is a grandfather to like, 10% of us?

Barbara Allen he was fooling with her at 14

They try to romanticize this story so much

@suny123boy1 You shut the Fuck up

yeah she was also Martha Jefferson's (Thomas' WIFE) half sister

15 was acceptable in the 18th century

Has mad game? She was a baby when he got her and first got with her when she was 14

​@@Thepiedpiper-dl8np Bro this was 6 years ago. What documentary did you watch to compell you to go on every piece of Sally hemmings Thomas Jefferson media and comment 🤣

S.B. Jamali THANK YOU.

How dare they insult the precious cinnamon roll!

That insult hurt my core. SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE HAMILTON FANS OUT THERE!

I guess you could call that... a BURN

I'm laughing and crying all at once.

At 1:54

The DNA evidence is inconclusive as to which Jefferson was the father of Sally Hemmings' children. There is no proof Thomas Jefferson was the father.

@@edbenti5007 Well tell that to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. They accept the evidence and so do the historians who are privy to it.

Thomas Jefferson, the original "R. Kelly." As were all of the "Founding Fathers," for that matter. Sally Hemmings was 15 or 16 when she met Thomas Jefferson.

Where's his statue? GET A ROPE!

He's also a pedafile

You could say that.

And that's why everyone says Mad TV is better than Snl

I agree

There's so much racist in this sketch... Thomas Jefferson was a racist pedophile.

Yeah, very awkward writing, can't believe the actors agreed to be in it.

Kathryn Dorsey What history are you reading?

This. When a woman is a peice of property, she cannot say no. Slave rape is not funny.

1 2 mutual slave mutual rape is though

She wasn't even a woman. She was 14 - 16 years old when he began raping her.

I heard even younger, someone commented saying she was less than 10. It's a little tone deaf to make a skit about a person who owned people and then raped them in the light of " this is just some funky white dude who likes black chicks " It trivializes what a monster he was and it would have been better if they made jokes at his expense instead of chuckling at the concept that a little girl who was beaten and starved and raped by a much older white man. There is a way to joke about jefferson being a piece of shit, this sketch did not do that.

Alexander Hamilton lmaooo

lol

AHAHHAHAHA defend your wife plz

I don't know what you heard but whatever it is Jefferson started it.

Sophie Oh well he resigned this morning

TJ and Angelica were actually good friends in real life

But Angelica loves her sister more te than anything in this life. She’ll choose Eliza’s happiness over hers every time.

She said "indoors". Although funny enough, “I’m just happy to be inside” is always my answer to women who ask me what I'm thinking during sex.

Renata Gross oh she was-

And a child when he raped and impregnated her.

@@Gamergirl-.- or was in a completely consensual relationship. Also she was 14 which was a 100% normal time to get married back then.

@@kasunex1772 Just because it was normal back then doesn’t mean it was okay. Thought that’d go unsaid since we are talking about a time of slavery. 1. Shes 14, can’t consent, and it would be fucked up either way. 2. She is a slave, she’s not in a position to say no.

@@Gamergirl-.- you can't judge people who lived hundreds of years ago by modern standards. Also, she could have said no. She had the choice to go free and she turned it up.

It's not what they say, he has only married black women

Thank you Captain Obvious.

Thomas Thas He's a smart guy. Always liked De Niro.

Thomas Thas Art imitating life

Traci Sims Me too

With good reason

@john thonig OK.

Tf is wrong with you

No, it was not well written, and it was not funny. Robert De Niro is a total pile of horse manure.

If u knew who her mama is you'll know why she can sing

Paige I am a straight guy but Robert De Niro is quite a charmer.

You got a problem with that?

It's true, for the most part. But he did have an affair with Uma Thurman once. Yum.

Actually she was 14 which was a totally normal age to get married at for the overwhelming majority of human history. The age of consent in colonial America was also 12, so.

@@kasunex1772 bro she was a slave this was not a consenting relationship.

@@arrynwilliams2842 you don't know that. Actual historians will point this out. Go read up on what they actually have to say on the subject. I've not yet found one who said it has to be rape, the most extreme I've seen is one that said it could have been. There are more historians who don't think it was ever a thing then ones who think it was rape.

@@kasunex1772 she was a slave it wasn’t like she could say no

@@arrynwilliams2842 yeah she could

+ernest747 Wasn't Clinton a chubby chaser?

Clinton didn't rape a 15 year old slave

Nope!!! Boi do ur homework.

haha

To compare Thomas Jefferson, one of our Founding Fathers, to that philandering horse's ass Billy Clinton, is totally absurd and disrespectful.

It's called satire. It's a parody on Jefferson and how things were back then!

All subjects can be funny, as long as we can agree that this is just for fun, it's not meant to be taken seriously at all. All jokes can offend somebody, and with their wide audience they can't avoid subjects based on that, so any subjects goes. Not saying you're supposed to find it funny, just saying it's not disrespectful, otherwise every joke is, so calm down and just dislike it.

iamLacey wanker!

@@MartinGsl I hate to be that guy but parody and satire are different. Satire must involve some sort of social commentary whilst parody does not.

@@liamweyer4957 did you hear the part about how the descendants from their liaison never were acknowledged? Even today? That is a social commentary albeit short but it's there

Willingly? A teenage girl who has been enslaved all her life, whose mother and grandmother conceived to,their masters? TJs father-in-law and grandfather-in-law. Who was close to her mother and wanted to return to her? A 60 year old man, who in her own country owns her? Is there no limit to the lies Americans will tell themselves about their history? 🤦‍♀️

Declare her freedom and then what? You racists never answer that question. She went back because she had to. She and her brother had literally nothing in France. Nothing. They’d be “free” and homeless. Probably doomed to a life of prostitution or worse. Also, she was a 14 year old child who looked like a younger version of Thomas Jefferson’s dead wife. He wasn’t letting her go, and he had the money and resources to make sure he got what he wanted, period. She was brought to France to be raped.

mccartt same

I'm sure by now that you've probably forgotten that the "racist" stuff in Blazing Saddles and The Jerk are satirical criticisms of racism as well

You were okay with him wearing those breeches which leave *nothing* to the imagination?

It's mostly because of their horizontal vagina.

Yeah, that's the USA: TV does a better job of educating its citizens that the school system... And, the TV does of terrible job of educating citizens...

There is nothing factual about this skit.

Uh, Thomas and Sally are real people who had children together. But, I guess that part isn't important.

I take it back. The costumes seem authentic.

Gibran Lewis - Yeap, kinda like Ryan Reed is trying to will it not to be.

daddyrichten he know what's up he tryna save face. Y'all know she black. She has never identified as white Caucasian or Jewish bruh..lol real talk look at that ass and see what that identifies as..

Big lips,big breasts,big ass, big nose, big hips, big everything...100% sista aka A princess of the lost tribe of Judah

daddyrichten hey bro i dnt see any resemblance of her Caucasian ancestry. You must have just learned about her in the 21st century. As far as idenity goes i agree. I don't identify as a race color or creed I AM AFRICAN AMERICAN Mississippi mudbone to the core. My mother and father are both light skinned but im dark as a white man's past. She forseeably has rich malon in her skin. She had an acne problem growing up too so just to let cha know you can identify yourself as who you want but, black is black. She is forseeably black, she speaks fluent black linguistics, and the daughter of a very famous black woman bruh..its no way around it...

What do you think rashida jones IDENTIFY as? She doesn't identify as black when she is black..1 drop bro thats it. We as black people can see our likeness in those who are under the impression that they are pure. We see our marks..

And black women are the most beautiful women on this planet sucka. Deep down inside you lust for your long lost sistas, its cool though but dont everybody? Gotta go..

Wrong
