At some point you have to believe these stories keep being written because donors are intentionally giving to orgs they believe will have no real impact in inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

@kucherov_anton @ScottAdamsSays @hbryant42 @ijbailey Civil rights law prohibits discrimination in employment based on race. That law includes white men. Anything else I can help you with? — PolitiTweet.org

@MarcACaputo This tweet pretty well summarizes what's wrong with political reporting in a time of eroding democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

@ScottAdamsSays @hbryant42 @ijbailey You've been propagating this same lie for years. It would be illegal for your bosses to have said that and no one believes you. — PolitiTweet.org

@papist2022 @MadPirateRobert I never said white people start the slave trade, simple one. I said they started the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Enjoy! — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@MadPirateRobert Absolutely not. The Trans-Atlantic slave trade was not started by African people, which you can easily research. But I know you're just angry because your education has failed you and the right wing talking points you're regurgitating didn't give you actual knowledge. Bye bye. — PolitiTweet.org

@OrloPorter You said CRT said something, which it doesn't. And teaching facts, like some children face structural disadvantages in our society is just the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

@MadPirateRobert Why did white people end the trade they started? Why did they then institute a quasi-slavery through forced "apprenticeships", convict leasing, sharecropping and colonialism? Is that what you're asking? — PolitiTweet.org

@OrloPorter I literally wrote in the Americas. You know, where their slave colonies were. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@OrloPorter The US was the third to last nation in Americas to abolish slavery and had the largest enslaved population in the world at the Civil War. Try again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@OrloPorter Please cite and quote the specific CRT text that teaches that. — PolitiTweet.org

And of course, Florida was one of the most violently repressive state of the apartheid-era American South. But, sure, @GovRonDeSantis, what you want to is to teach facts without truth. https://t.co/dABZHDZ40Q — PolitiTweet.org

They founded an entire new country where they could establish any laws they wanted. And yet, the founders knew if they abolished slavery, they wouldn't be able to get enough support to declare independence or to ratify the Constitution. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

1) I think he truly believes that no one questioned slavery until the Revolutionary War because he doesn't believe Black people back then mattered. 2) What people like DeSantis can never explain is if the Founders believed all men created = why didn't they abolish slavery? — PolitiTweet.org
