Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@DanFriedman81 @kmele Such a strange statement. Because an immigrant group was treated one way, that means the group forced here to live in slavery can't have a different relationship to the US? — PolitiTweet.org

@kmele Lastly, while the US received a small percentage of the Africans transported across the Atlantic, by the Civil War, we had the largest population of enslaved in the hemisphere. It's not just transporting across the Middle Passage that grew slavery. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@kmele Also, wealth is not the only way a nation is built. Nations are built by laws, customs, culture. Its undeniable that slavery shaped much of this in nascent America. So much so that we fought a civil war over it just 100 years after our founding. — PolitiTweet.org

@kmele The comparison would have to be the US economy/wealth to France, England, Portugal, etc. The slave wealth from Barbados and Jamaica didn't stay in those colonies/countries, it went to England. The wealth from slavery in US stayed in US. — PolitiTweet.org

@kmele The comparison would have to be the US and France, England, Portugal, etc. The slave wealth from Barbados and Jamaica didn't stay in Jamaica, it went to England. The wealth from slavery in US stated in US. This isn't hard. https://t.co/yUNxpiPjZH — PolitiTweet.org

@kmele This reveals an unsophisticated understanding of slavery in our hemisphere. You can't compare the economy and wealth of US to the countries here where slavery occurred, because unlike the U.S., these were slave colonies where the wealth was extracted and distributed to Europe. — PolitiTweet.org

@josephtoconnell @DouglasKMurray You think you sound really intelligent here, the problem is, by definition you can't be a grifter if you actually believe in what you're doing. You just strung a bunch of words together to type a nonsensical tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

@MFDoomStanLee @ReasonedCenter @DouglasKMurray That debate is the only way to defend one's ideas is ludicrous on its face. And that I am obligated to lend my platform and time to people you think I should is silly. I don't owe him or you any debate nor defense. My defense is on the page. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MFDoomStanLee @ReasonedCenter @DouglasKMurray No, I'm not debating every quack who has something ridiculous to say about the project. My work is on the page. Where I am deliberative, thoughtful and make my arguments. And when I do discuss my project, it is with people worthy of my time. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MFDoomStanLee @ReasonedCenter @DouglasKMurray I don't understand this obsession with debate. Further, I don't understand why you all think I should debate any and everyone who has something to say about the project, especially when it's clear by their misrepresentations of the project they aren't working in good faith. — PolitiTweet.org

@Preston01221899 Just as brave as it is for him to discuss me and my work in his talks in front of 100 whole people. 🤷🏽♀️😂 — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MFDoomStanLee @DouglasKMurray Then you're refusing to read what he actually wrote -- it's right there, he said the 1619 Project co-authors refuse to debate actual historians -- and instead subbing out for the meaning you want because it confirms the way you want to feel. Either way, I'm finished here. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MFDoomStanLee @DouglasKMurray He says that the 1619 Project co-authors would not debate "actual historians," which anyone with a basic understanding of language knows is an implication that the co-authors are not historians -- hence the use of the modifier "actual." You're welcome. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
The easiest tell that a critic has not read a single page of the 1619 Project, not even the table of contents, is when they say what "real" historians would say about the project, as if eight of the chapters are not written by academic historians. — PolitiTweet.org
