@Flounder2022 @hismaj46 I'd suggest you read some books instead of so proudly ignorant. Enjoy! — PolitiTweet.org

@Flounder2022 @hismaj46 African people did not initiate the trade -- Europeans did that all on their own. But they certainly took part in it. You all act as if that is some sort of gotcha. But tell me, who is responsible for what happened right here on this land? Let's deal with that. — PolitiTweet.org

@FightingFitzman @KyleWilliamsD2i @jmhulet I'll ask again: What do you think was the purpose of slavery if not for profit and wealth? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@FightingFitzman @KyleWilliamsD2i @jmhulet Also, might I add, it is incredibly insulting and belittling for descendants of the enslaved to have people attempt to rationalize about how complicated and challenging it was not to end the bondage of our ancestors, because, you know, TJ liked fancy carriages and architecture. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@FightingFitzman @KyleWilliamsD2i @jmhulet I do not know what you mean by economic determinist. Why did people engage in slavery? To make money. Why did the new nation not abolish slavery? Because too many colonists, including about half of the founders, relied on the profits and wealth from slavery. Why else do think?? — PolitiTweet.org

@scottmcprn @emdawgz1 He was a lawmaker. You're making excuses and they are so weak. I'm not interested. Have a great one. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@scottmcprn @emdawgz1 We're not talking about what he didn't do, we're talking about what he did do. He wrote all men are created equal, endowed with inalienable rights while his wife's enslaved half brother was there to keep him comfortable and while operating a slave labor camp in Virginia. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@scottmcprn @emdawgz1 Have you ever read his writings? He literally thought Black people were inferior and not equal to white men/people. You're absurd. — PolitiTweet.org

@Blackstonian More than half of the homes in Oak Bluffs are owned by Black people, friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@FightingFitzman @KyleWilliamsD2i @jmhulet I'm not sure how debt is an excuse. Slavery was an economic system. People didn't engage in slavery because they were just extra racist but because it was an economic system, so of course economics were the reason they continued to practice slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@FightingFitzman @KyleWilliamsD2i @jmhulet Yes. He was a man who spent more than he had, who wasn't good at money, and therefore his most valuable property-- human beings -- had to remain enslaved and then get scattered away from their families upon his death. — PolitiTweet.org

@RaySuarezNews @Silent_Majo @JoyAnnReid Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

@scottmcprn @emdawgz1 Y'all will suspend logic if it justifies what they did. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@scottmcprn @emdawgz1 Slavery was legal and could have been outlawed. You know how we know? Because in 1865 we outlawed it. I am to believe they can declare independence, fight a whole war, create a whole new country with new laws, but didn't have ability to abolish slavery? — PolitiTweet.org

@jsparker31 Wait, which is it? Were we a society driven by abolitionists or by enslavers? Y'all can't even keep your arguments straight because if this is your argument then the US *WAS* a slaveholding republic. Apparently, abolitionists and non-slaveholders were all poor and powerless. LOL — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@ChayaRufoTheory Yes, and Massachusetts's abolition of slavery was triggered by a freedom suit of another enslaved woman. — PolitiTweet.org

@kucherov_anton @agrossfield @ScottAdamsSays @hbryant42 @ijbailey A company cannot have a policy of racial discrimination. That is illegal. A hiring manager expressing to an employee that he or the company is discriminating against that employee because of his or her race or gender is illegal discrimination. Try again. — PolitiTweet.org
