@Toure It's also ahistoric, as Black people did not enslave themselves, nor did they invent the idea of "whiteness." American history has been always taught in a way that emphasizes the innocence and/or heroism of white people while making all other people secondary, arcless characters. — PolitiTweet.org

@Toure What's wild is, the very thing that's unique about American slavery is that it was deliberately attached to race, by white people. Never before had slavery been CONDITIONAL on race AND INHERITABLE-with even one drop of African heritage making a person & their children enslavable. — PolitiTweet.org
