@best_of_luck_25 The framing of the article. — PolitiTweet.org

Critical race theory helps us understand why. A systemically racist society created the segregation in the first place, and the resegregation was a response to equality measures. But Arkansas governor opposes teaching this, which is fundamental truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Also, let's be clear: Doing this at Central High School is disgustingly ironic and speaks to the purpose of these actions designed to shape memory. Once all-white Central High is of course the site of one of the ugliest school desegregation battles and now is almost all Black. — PolitiTweet.org

This neutral language that gives the veneer of legitimacy to this is actually not neutral at all. It's stenography, not truth. — PolitiTweet.org

@SBGameday I see I'm going to have to post this a million times in the thread. https://t.co/xB0D7EXceR — PolitiTweet.org

@MsYAxisLabel Who are doing this? Just be explicitly racist here and stop wasting my time. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@MsYAxisLabel @Simplicator So, you're saying Black people are responsible for this? — PolitiTweet.org

And yet, as historian @davidwblight1 has shown, even when it comes to slavery, U.S was unique. US South constituted 1 of just 5 true slave societies in the history of the world. And guess where so many of our founders came from? The slave society of VA. https://t.co/IfsqQF91TY — PolitiTweet.org

One thing creating the #1619Project has shown with stark clarity, there are an amazing number of slavery apologists in this country. They are all about American exceptionalism until it comes to the barbaric enslavement of millions of people, then it's all: Everyone was doing it. — PolitiTweet.org

What do modern labor fights, terrible worker protections and massive income inequality among workers of all races have to do with the legacy of U.S. slavery? Watch the CAPITALISM episode of #1619hulu. #1619Project out now. https://t.co/l5adJwPcKF — PolitiTweet.org

@mrobinsonbyrd It's insane. — PolitiTweet.org

It can't be a financial winner. I spend a lot less because I'm not waiting every time I need to grab something from a different aisle or even a different shelf in the same aisle. You can't read labels, etc. I've literally walked away. It's just a terrible shopping experience. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

If you're going to lock up everything in the drug store, an already demeaning shopping experience, at least have enough workers to open up the cases for all the customers who just need a razor. — PolitiTweet.org

@Malkaveer It's in the capitalism episode. — PolitiTweet.org

@fastkidpunk And isn't it your job as an educator to provide the additional info and context to whatever text, video, etc you're showing your students? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@fastkidpunk It's one sentence in the episode that talks about 13th,14th,15th Amendment. We also don't discuss those amendments in their entirety. Interesting that your only concern is 13th. It's also disingenuous to act as if the act that ended chattel slavery for 4 m people didn't abolish. — PolitiTweet.org

@fastkidpunk @captgeocat There are two documentaries about the 13th exception, probably where you learned about it, so I have to make my docuseries about it as well? Make it make sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@fastkidpunk Tell me you haven't watched the doc because Douglas Blackmon is in the doc and we do discuss this in the Captialism episode. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@TheWeeksy @saltysuburban29 @SnizzyKnowsBest This is a sophomoric take on history as the role Black people played in America is singular. But further, would you ever argue that learning American history downplays the history of all other nations? See how silly that sounds? — PolitiTweet.org

@BretNicholson3 @amarantaviera @Morning_Joe I believe in objectivity of method. I do not pretend that people's identity and experience do not influence what they study and how they write about it. I can give plenty of examples of so-called objective history that clearly are not. — PolitiTweet.org
