CHARLOTTESVILLE — A Monticello tour guide was explaining how enslaved people built, planted and tended a terrace of vegetables at Thomas Jefferson’s estate earlier this summer when a woman interrupted to share her annoyance.

At Monticello, George Washington’s Mount Vernon and other plantations across the South, an effort is underway to deal more honestly with the brutal institution that the Founding Fathers relied on to build their homes and their wealth: slavery.

Here's the thing - nobody owes you a customized version of history. If you need it to be scrubbed clean so it fits with your narrow viewpoint, go to Disneyland. The rest of us know enough to prefer learning about real things in real ways.
Weirdly, if you spend enough time online, you'll encounter oddball web skulkers barking about some of the weirdest shit you ever heard, swearing to its authenticity, and proclaiming it as the truth that everybody is just too blind to see - specifically citing its wacky oddball-ness as proof of its veracity.  As if the more incredible something is, the more believable it has to be.
