@MonseyDev Do you think the federal government equals white people? Are you choosing to ignore my entire tweet where the theft of wealth has happened in the lifetimes of people alive right now? And owing the debt of your parents isn't slavery. Stop being ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@PetrifriedPet @ManSwac I always find it so interesting that even though my tweet says government and not white people, you all always take it as white people paying reparations as if the federal government only represents white people. Why do you think that is? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@PetrifriedPet 1) You are choosing to ignore the very text of the tweet that you're responding to where I make it clear that reparations isn't just for slavery. 2) Your family came after the Declaration and Constitution, and yet somehow you believe you can claim those as your birthright. So. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bexstarr @Daddy_Jose18 @DavidDTSS You think this bit was done at a single show? And who advocated for him to be subjected to violence? Show me. — PolitiTweet.org

@michael_vogt66 @GoodwinCyn Wasn't Frederick Douglass half white? The rules of race that white people created don't work like that. But nice try. Further, white people aren't the ones paying, the federal govt would be and despite what you mean, white people aren't the government. — PolitiTweet.org

@OrloPorter @GoodwinCyn The federal government confiscated slave-grown cotton and made money from it and Callie House sued for the taxes collected from that and was imprisoned for daring to do so. So, nah. You don't know enough to have this conversation with me. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@OrloPorter @GoodwinCyn Help me with the logic here. Why should the war costs be deducted from reparations when white people started slavery here and then ended it by fighting themselves? Last, you think Black people didn't and don't pay taxes? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@DavidDTSS I stopped messing with him when he did the entire bit about Black people versus n*ggas, and he didn't mind one bit that his audience was heavily white. So he can miss us with that. — PolitiTweet.org

@Biondi_esque I think we can focus on more than one thing at once, like the fact that he wasn't libeled because he said exactly what he is being depicted as saying. — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah, good luck with that. "The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true." — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@GoodwinCyn 1) I know you're not making a serious or sincere argument, but people who fought in the war received a pension for doing so and in fact, white soldiers received more than Black soldiers. 2) It must be hard to go through life so unwilling to confront the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps the most well-worn arguments against reparations is everyone who was enslaved is dead. The govt involvement in the theft of Black wealth and destruction of Black thriving didn't end with slavery. In #1619hulu we trace the reparations struggle from slavery to "freedom" — PolitiTweet.org
