Blk history is the most inconvenient to American mythology. In a country founded on ideals of liberty, we were enslaved. The greatest democracy in the world violently suppressed democracy amongst its Black citizens for 100 years after the end of slavery. These truths are hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Someone asked me why is Black history, specifically, being targeted. I said it's because our history has always been political *by definition*: Our very presence on these lands is the greatest rebuke to the narrative of American exceptionalism. We give lie to the lie. — PolitiTweet.org

It's easier to marginalize, minimize or suppress these truths than deal honestly with them and their modern-day consequences. That's why we know these efforts in Florida and elsewhere have never been about accurate history, but rather the suppression of it. — PolitiTweet.org
