@Chewybunny @woodyholtonusc @hauserhaeuser @RaymondLavertue @Jeff__Ostler @rainmar7 I did. What do you think it says? — PolitiTweet.org

@MayorPerk @woodyholtonusc @hauserhaeuser @RaymondLavertue @Jeff__Ostler @rainmar7 Of course it did. Who claimed otherwise? Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist, as were all the enslaved! We do talk about abolitionists. He's just claiming g we didn't spent enough time on the white ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@RaymondLavertue @woodyholtonusc @hauserhaeuser @Jeff__Ostler @rainmar7 No. I think you arguing that the 1619 Project -- a project centering Black people and the legacy of slavery -- has been discredited because we didn't talk *enough* about a small movement of white abolitionists is ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

@ScenicCityDem @RaymondLavertue @woodyholtonusc @hauserhaeuser @Jeff__Ostler @rainmar7 By the Civil War, the US had the largest enslaved population in the world. Anything else I can help you with? — PolitiTweet.org

@Nativewitch111 If you have to strip something of its history, legacy and context to feel good about it, you don't love or respect it. Your blues literally ain't mine. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@Nativewitch111 If you think race has nothing to do with Buddy Guy's music or the experienced that led him to the blues, I feel sorry for you. He's literally a product of the Mississippi Delta. — PolitiTweet.org

@FightingFitzman Keep trying. Again, must be nice to pretend as if history, context doesn't exist and everything exists just in the today. Blues has been gentrified and so has its audience, friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Blues were created by BLACK people in the Mississippi Delta because it was the worst, most deadliest place in the United States to be Black. Why are y'all like this. — PolitiTweet.org

@stgart2 @Eugene_Scott @pewresearch None of us needed Geneaology to know we descended from slavery. Unless your family came after 1965, most of us descend from slavery. — PolitiTweet.org
