My dad spoke fluent German and would have never, ever imagined that his story would be one day be written in German, that his story would play a role in helping people there understand the centrality of Black Americans to the American story. This is a beautiful moment for me. — PolitiTweet.org

This was one of the most important and great periods of my dad's life. For Black teen born into poverty in Mississippi, being a U.S. Army soldier in Germany was the time when he felt most American. He took so much pride in his service and shared so many memories with me. — PolitiTweet.org

There have been so many moments since the 1619 Project published more than three years ago that I've wished my dad were here to witness, but this is a particularly special one: A German translation of the #1619Project. The very first photo in the book is of my dad in Germany. https://t.co/bhdLQy2RsP — PolitiTweet.org

@IanVicious @thepursuinglife Harriet Tubman could not write an autobiography because slavery forced her to be illiterate, so maybe you should read the 1619 Project so you can know better next time. — PolitiTweet.org

@rasmansa They cannot even fathom that the most pervasive affirmative action in this country has been -- and I'd argue likely remains-- for white men and for in-network hiring. Or, that affirmative action has came about BECAUSE the merit of Black people was NOT considered. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@rasmansa Further, people such as this have constructed a self-serving, delusional, status-quo-upholding definition of merit where privilege, access, ease, play no role, only standardized test scores. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@rasmansa The entire system is predicated on believing white people have earned and deserve everything they have, despite our history. And so, a single Black person in a position such as this --no matter how rare -- is a personal affront. Some people NEED to believe what he wrote. — PolitiTweet.org

Didn't mail him a check. Went and got cash. My daughter, raised in BK, didn't trust it and I didn't trust myself to remember to send a check. But was sort of an amazing moment for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Just left Iowa where I spent four days on the Mississippi in a county with a single stop light. Stopped by a variety store. Bill was $50 but we learned it was cash only. We didn't have enough $, owner smiled, asked if I wanted to just mail him a check. There are good people. HNY. — PolitiTweet.org
