@TLJohnson2017 @MSTalokonnikoff He says Black people act like victims but then says he doesn't group people by race. 😂💀 — PolitiTweet.org

@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 The fact that you think these arguments are any other than pedantic speaks to who has been the largest beneficiary of affirmative action in this nation's history. You're boring. Goodbye. — PolitiTweet.org

@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 I was going to post a dozen studies about structural racism that Black people face but realized I'd be wasting my time. You want to believe what you want and ignore reality. That is your PRIVILEGE, one I as a Black American don't have. Believe what you want. Have a good day. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 You're over here defending white people so you're grouping people. If you dint know systemic racism is happening it's because you are choosing ignorance. Period. Evidence of it is easily found. https://t.co/cYR1lvPt92 — PolitiTweet.org

@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 And immigrants have an obligation to learn the history of their new country and understand where the rights they claim came from -- and in America, much of those rights came from the Black freedom struggle. America was literally founded on Black and white. What. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 You don't get to tell people whose ancestry here predates yours, whose ancestors literally built this nation's early wealth, including the wealth of the two universities in question, what they deserve and what is owed. When you become American, America's debts become yours. — PolitiTweet.org

@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 They weren't here when the Constitution was ratified, and yet they benefit from and expect its protections. See how that works? You don't get to pick and choose which part of this country you want to claim and which part you want to ignore. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 It takes an amazing amount of hubris to immigrate to a country and then completely disregard its history and the impact that has on people. Your ancestors never stepped foot on the soil when these systems were created and yet you benefit from them. — PolitiTweet.org

@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 Who do you think created racial categories? Write people or Black people? Is a Ukrainian white? You already know the answer to that. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@MSTalokonnikoff @TLJohnson2017 Laws make murder illegal so I'm sure it no longer happens anymore because laws prohibit it. You see how weak your thinking is? When it comes to racism and racial inequality, you all's lack of intellectual rigor is exhausting. — PolitiTweet.org

@rex_romander @RukaOsoba @Blackliterature @CurtisWampler You have no idea what racism is if you think that's racist and how do you propose a nation that explicitly discriminated against Black people for 350 years address the disadvantage that explicit discrimination created? — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@rex_romander @RukaOsoba @Blackliterature @CurtisWampler Why doesn't that lawsuit challenge all the white legacy admits -- 43 percent of the white students admitted -- who had lower test scores? Seems "standards" are adjusted all the time for white students but somehow there's no outrage about that. You all tell on yourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

@Rationalism810 @mypurposefulLT @AstorAaron Actually, research shows the wording of the question greatly influenced the response. As written, this could be read as race being used to discriminate against Black students. It's worded poorly and so we cannot extrapolate much from it. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@Tonygroulx @msmeaghanb So try being coherent. Why do you think affirmative action was created? Tell me what books you've read on the history. Tell me what it was and is designed to address? It wasn't an anti-poverty program. — PolitiTweet.org

This country, and a Supreme Court that has almost always preserved power and serviced the elite, cannot actually face the reality of what this country is made from. People literally were dying for descendants of slavery to get basic rights of citizens less than 60 years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

@Tonygroulx @msmeaghanb You've done none of the reading in this, which directly contradicts your argument, and yet per usual are spouting off faux facts with authority. — PolitiTweet.org

My father was born in 1945. He would have been prohibited from attending UNC Chapel Hill as an 18-year-old because he descended from American slavery. UNC didn't admit first Black students until 16 years before I was born. But sure. That's ancient and irrelevant history. — PolitiTweet.org

@Tonygroulx @msmeaghanb Do you understand what the phrase "more likely" means? — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@Tonygroulx If you want to ignore all the disadvantage that descendants of slavery face in every aspect of American life, sure. But that would be silly, wouldn't it. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@Tonygroulx @msmeaghanb This is the problem with thinking affirmative action is about generalized affirmative action. It's not. And if the only time you're concerned about poor white people is when you think Black people might get something, that's a give away. — PolitiTweet.org

@GilesUdy @d2harris @JamesSk89122859 How can you "assess" something you so clearly haven't read? Nor have you read all the historians who supported the project and its argument. Sad. — PolitiTweet.org

@GilesUdy @d2harris @JamesSk89122859 Do you know how many historians wrote for the 1619 Project? Of course not, because you haven't read it nor even looked at the table of contents. You need to self reflect, I think. — PolitiTweet.org
