@smartstatistic You are falsely conflating rejecting race for oneself with asserting that everyone else has rejected race. I have not done the latter. As for my friends, do you imagine that I know the Fields sisters personally? Nor did I meet Murray before his passing. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic I did not say we should stop talking about race or racism. We are talking about it right now. I have written about it many times. You are imputing statements to me that I didn't make. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Rejecting race is not something only white people can do. Karen Fields. Barbara Fields. Kmele Foster. Thomas Chatterton Williams. None are white. All agree with Murray on this, not you. Rejecting race doesn't mean others aren't racist anymore. That isn't the claim. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic You are right, you are not sure why, so jumping to uncharitable conclusions is unwarranted. The reason certainly isn't to be controversial. It is to note my belief in the equal, unifying humanity of everyone & my rejection of the racial categories that white supremacists created — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic I knew a few tweets ago when you told me. I'm not sure why you want to talk about this instead of Murray's ideas. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic That's a claim you introduced, not one I believe. I just like to give credit when my ideas come from someone else. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Anyway, I am happy to hear your criticisms of Murray's ideas, or anything else of substance, any time, but I don't see the point of this back and forth. Have a good night. — PolitiTweet.org

@smartstatistic Well, Albert Murray says it, and I agree. Let's give credit where it is due. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic I'm happy to engage with your ideas, but not your insults. 85,000 people follow me on this platform. If I'm beyond your ability to tolerate no one is forcing you to be among them. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic It is as real as any other constructed race. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic In my estimation, there are too many realities of race in America to count. I've yet to meet two different people whose lived experiences of race and beliefs about it are exactly the same. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Why do you keep assuming I know what race you are? You're a stranger on Twitter. I am curious to know why you object to me calling myself an omni-American. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic What is your objection to Murray's language? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Based on this exchange I think you're one of the many people on Twitter who is aggressively and needlessly hostile to strangers for reasons that ultimately have more to do with you than them. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ebruenig Many people say they're the most beautiful speech tics, bigly. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Maybe. I'm not sure why it matters. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Did you or didn't you? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Not sure, I follow more than 2 3000 people, I don't remember what promoted most of them. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic Perhaps you should at least look up where the reference comes from and what it means before you decide you disagree with it. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I hope she gains more listeners than she loses but I don't think it will work out that way. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@zzzzaaaacccchhh Who is Spotify exploiting? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I assume you've seen Prince at the George Harrison induction ceremony? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey That in contrast is using the art itself to say something, which I'll always defend even when I disagree with the message. Not that I have any objections to Get Together — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey https://t.co/lfkqcm3GaK — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Now to answer your question: she moved away from unifying artistry and toward a polarizing culture war issue by using her songs as a tool to expert power on a polarizing culture war issue that has nothing to do with her art. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey It's a great song. I'm glad you've encountered it now and regret that, in my estimation, fewer overall people will encounter her music once this fades from the headlines and she's no longer on one of the most popular streaming platforms. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki I don't think Rogan or Spotify has become more responsible. We'll see what the future holds. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Sorry, if you won't answer my question I won't answer any more of yours — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@smartstatistic I didn't say her music has changed. Quite the opposite. I said I love her music and still do and always will. Do you always block those with different perspectives than you? I value diversity in my feed. — PolitiTweet.org
