@DudeinDallas73 I hope and expect that, in addition to the angry people, some people took comfort in the reassuring reminder, but it's hard to know because a small number of angry people converging on one Tweet can overwhelm. But many people liked the tweet. And the anger serves no good. — PolitiTweet.org

@DudeinDallas73 Perhaps, but lots of people will always disagree with you, and I think that, in such moments, it's better if people with suffering impulses show each other grace and forbearance rather than contempt and vitriol. — PolitiTweet.org

After terrible news events one very human reaction is to lament all that is wrong. Another very human reaction is to reassure others by reminding them that all is not wrong. The latter impulse is helpful, not contemptible. & diverse reactions are inevitable, not cause for vitriol https://t.co/J8W2QBTx2M — PolitiTweet.org

@LAGilman @LarryDixonTGK @Jen1701D But there are substantive disagreements about different acts. Was an act wrong? If so, why? What harm if any did it cause? Does the degree of harm correspond with the degree of wrongness? Do intentions matter or not? & depending on the answers to all those qs what should happen? — PolitiTweet.org

@SamRochadotcom I don't understand how you write a sentence like "The criterion for my account of whiteness..." without already having a working definition of whiteness in mind and I'd love to know what that working understanding is but if you'd rather not say that's your perrogative. — PolitiTweet.org

@SamRochadotcom Does it require having phenotypically "white" skin or do you think someone with the skin color of Michael Jordan who experiences a privation of ancestral and familial identity is experiencing whiteness? — PolitiTweet.org

Rent control as Kendian-racism. "We find that the tenants who gained the most from rent control had higher incomes and were more likely to be white, while the owners who lost the most had lower incomes and were more likely to be minorities." https://t.co/66DlVE1j8S — PolitiTweet.org
