@sullydish @janecoaston @jbouie If there is a cultural resistance to Black people learning, it's not coming from Black people. But racists are impervious to facts. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@sullydish @janecoaston @jbouie Would love to see the facts that sow a "cultural resistance to learning." The same people who defied anti-literacy laws during slavery even at risk of death, who had schools they started after slavery burned down by white people, who sent their babies through white mobs for educ. — PolitiTweet.org

@burientopteam @sullydish @janecoaston @jbouie Yeah, ok. Because one needs to tell Black colleges students attending Black educational institutions where they are largely taught by Black faculty that higher education isn't thing for whites. That's nonsensical. — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia @BriannaChesser @sfrates1973 @Gracie_Raw @IfIWasDaKing You haven't read the 1619 book, not any of its underlying texts, nor Gordon Wood, apparently, if you believe this. — PolitiTweet.org

@siptico @jimmywhart It is. It did not make us a democracy, however, which is what my tweet said. — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia @DAJensen07 @Gracie_Raw @IfIWasDaKing Republicanism amongst Virginians was born of the notion of white representative governance because most of the poor population was enslaved and therefore could not vote and could not challenge the political hierarchy of the elite. I'd really suggest you read more. — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia @DAJensen07 @Gracie_Raw @IfIWasDaKing George Washington and others argued they had to become independent because Britain wanted to make them slaves like the Black people that Washington and the others owned. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@compoccia @DAJensen07 @Gracie_Raw @IfIWasDaKing The motivations of the founders, and the role their concerns about slavery and white supremacy should be embarrassing. I'd start with Edmund Morgan's American Slavery, American Freedom, which argues white freedom was defined by Black slavery. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@compoccia @DAJensen07 @Gracie_Raw @IfIWasDaKing Asking people whose ancestors were enslaved at our founding and would be for another 100 years to overlook that fact to glorify a non-democracy that didn't include one-fifth of the population is something. But also, your hubris in clearly having read very little abt the founding — PolitiTweet.org

As many states and school boards seek to ban and limit difficult discussions of our nation's past, it is critical that we as a free society find ways to read together, think together, and build together. That is why I am proud to announce the #1619Project National Read Along. https://t.co/GfUpSxd7pl — PolitiTweet.org
