> “native Americans who could be descendants of the founding fathers” is rich with humor

Yes.

Though I did consider, until noting the context, that they might be referring to descendants of both the founding fathers and Native Americans. Chilling, actually. To think that a good number of one branch of our founding fathers' descendants may have been exterminated by another.

Jefferson owned slaves and slept with slaves? So owned descendants?
Slept with is really whitewashing it. Not much choice for a slave.
Euphemism. I'm not sure how graphic to be online.

Maybe Jefferson brought some of that whacky weed down to the slave quarters and had a big party. Had a good time. Drugged them up first. Not unlike maybe the underclass of sex workers today, in dire straits and desperate.
