Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

You're like, okay.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

It is wild, because even you say it now, I'm like, it's satire, but then I'm like, I don't know how far we've come.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

Some people may look at that today, and there's the whole Tradwise Breeders, and look at that and be like, yeah.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

They couldn't read Latin, I guess, but...

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

It's like finding, yeah, like the echo chamber sort of, like looking for more signs that he's going down the right path.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

See, this is why men shouldn't be allowed to read, you know, it's like they get ideas.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

Too many ideas, too many rapes, you know.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

Yeah, because he doesn't get it.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

He seems to not โ€“ it goes over his head.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

I mean, it's also with it.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

Yeah, even within like what you're saying in the context of the time, I sense a lot of discrepancies because it's like on one hand, he's justifying his recording of it as like science and, you know, making sure he knows who he's fathering.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

But then when he's with his friends, he's saying like, oh, we're just doing this to punish her.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

But like that also would contradict him being the father if everyone's

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

raping her and so there's this like already like you can tell the the argument's shaky to begin with like clearly like what we understand is like this man's doing bad things and is driven by you know his bad motives and then looking for different justifications but they don't even they're not even consistent because if he's trying to father someone he wouldn't be like actively wanting other men to father children with her right because he wouldn't legally be the dad

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

Oh, so he puts that in English.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

So he's okay with kind of like airing out their dirty laundry, but not his own.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

Just Maddie got caught.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltsin.

Part Two: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist

My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed.
