@realOBF @peiferlabunc This is why Google can never replace actual knowledge. — PolitiTweet.org

@realOBF @peiferlabunc I specifically said Oak Bluffs, but further, the people they are targeting are not the largely working-class yearround residents of the Island, but the people who summer there. And the Census does not take numbers for the majority of the MV pop that doesn't live on Island. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@KyleWilliamsD2i @UrTearsArePEDs @ZaackHunt I was speaking of numbers as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@UrTearsArePEDs @ZaackHunt Nope. It is absolutely not. — PolitiTweet.org

But this is at least better than the Texas newspaper that wrote about this law without mention the 1619 Project by name at all. By the way, 1836 is the year Texas was founded as slaveholding Republic following Mexico's abolition of slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the problem when instead contacting people and asking questions, journalists rely on "comment by social media." I've literally never said what she wrote. I've never once said that teaching Black history or accurate American history is CRT. These laws are not about CRT. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

I appreciate the reporting, but this sentence is false: "Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of the 1619 Project, said the Texas project was a tactic to limit the discussion on critical race theory in schools." These laws, as I've repeatedly said, aren't abt CRT. https://t.co/R0qK3u0kSM — PolitiTweet.org

@roddreher It's always the people who boast of being Christian in their bios who behave in the most ugly, un-Christlike ways. — PolitiTweet.org

Black people have been coming to the Vineyard since the 1800s. MV was part of the Underground Railroad. There's an entire Black community there called Oak Bluffs. Why do you all so openly bask in your ignorance? — PolitiTweet.org

@DWaldstreicher Well, I can say from experience that some historians get very, very angry if you dare to write about historical events without first consulting them. — PolitiTweet.org

@Reality_is_r34l Either you're uneducated and naive or being intentionally daft. Why were they dropped off on the street in front of Kamala Harris's resident? Why weren't the locales notified and the people dropped off at a government agency that services immigrants? Why was a videographer there? — PolitiTweet.org

@davidvelohue @steveplotnicki So imagine the type of mental gymnastics it takes to believe that 13 million human beings were transported across the ocean because Europeans were just too dumb to realize that free labor was cheaper and more efficient. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@davidvelohue @steveplotnicki The average lifespan on a sugar plantation was 7 months. They worked enslaved people to death and then purchased more. Cotton was so profitable because they had absolute control over labor and could compel them to work as many hours as they chose, every single day if necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@davidvelohue @steveplotnicki Every person who makes this argument reveals their pitiful desire to deflect but also why chattel slavery existed in the first place. You could not entice people to work the sort of intensive, dangerous and often deadly work that cotton and sugar required. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine being in a foreign country, not speaking the language, desperate and with your child, and being dropped off in the middle of the street in a strange city with nothing because a politician wants to stoke the ugliest instincts of humanity. American exceptionalism indeed. — PolitiTweet.org
