Is it your position that Virginia slave owners, including Thomas
Jefferson, did not father children with their slaves?

It a good example of how a lie, or a belief based on dubious factual
evidence, can become the "truth" if it is repeated over and over again,
ie  the assertion that "Virginia slave owners, including Thomas
Jefferson, were  notorious for fathering children with their slaves."
