    I was at the museum at his estate on the potomac; the dentures were there. The plaque underneath claimed it was slaves.

      Both conditions apply, was the intent. Teeth from slaves that were also purchased. My wording was unclear, sorry.

      It was so unclear, it seems that I am white washing racist now.

        I don’t mean to imply you are racist at all. Whatever it turns out the provenance of those teeth are has no bearing on whether or not you are racist.

          I was referencing another thread in this post, so it’s not you. Sorry to give the wrong impression.
