Public schools have literally been teaching kids that slaves were happy immigrant workers, but now they’re passing laws to prevent teaching how racism works to oppress #ADOS smh
“I am a survivor of the Tulsa race massacre. Two weeks ago, I celebrated my 107th birthday. Today, I’m visiting Washington, DC for the first time in my life. I’m here seeking justice, and I'm asking my country to acknowledge what happened in Tulsa in 1921.”

If America was BUILT with racism, that is the FOUNDATION of what is is.
Reparations gives that heritage they worked and sacrificed for or else hard work means NOTHING in America.
Who and what are we, REALLY?
America has to PROVE who we claim to be. #ReparationsNow

Someone tweeted that #ADOS culture is built atop Western European culture.
I chuckled, bc the truth is that the richest aspects of American culture r built atop #ADOS culture.
Out of our unique experience blossomed a culture unparalleled.
Good afternoon fam!

Interesting resource to find some of the intellectual property that contributed to creating the vast economic power of the U.S. The wealth gap would not be nearly as large if these inventors were truly able to profit from their inventions. #ADOS#NAACP https://t.co/f1Yd3eTMuw
@sallyclabonte@LindseyGrahamSC@BarackObama@KamalaHarris I'm from NC, thank you. I didn't mean it as an insult, instead that it's just not the norm 🙂 honestly people can go by whatever they want, if people can decide their gender pronouns, but in some cases we have to see if a choice can cause erasure to people suffering
So @LindseyGrahamSC said @BarackObama & @KamalaHarris are African American when neither of them are descendants of Negroes, therefore NEITHER are African American.
He said it to prove USA isn't racist, well if you can't separate 3 different Black nationalities, that's an issue.
@sallyclabonte@LindseyGrahamSC@BarackObama@KamalaHarris Have you heard of the backfire effect? It's not the end of the world to be corrected or given information widely outside of the viewpoints you've lived in.

@sallyclabonte@LindseyGrahamSC@BarackObama@KamalaHarris None of those are continents, they are cultural-geographic identities.
I'll give you one though, Australian, that's a continent but only because it's really far from other land masses. All of the others you've mentioned aren't American standards.
@sallyclabonte@LindseyGrahamSC@BarackObama@KamalaHarris White was used before it became an official identity. Most words aren't spontaneously made. African American is a very specific culture, I'm not offended that you don't know we exist and think it's just a skin color and place of birth (that's not culture).
@sallyclabonte@LindseyGrahamSC@BarackObama@KamalaHarris So he's African-North American you say? I've met Africans who were confused by it but because they were confused, like you, it shouldn't give you the confidence to tell the people who are affected by it that they're wrong. Look up the history
@sallyclabonte@LindseyGrahamSC@BarackObama@KamalaHarris I didn't say you defended him, national African American history month can have speakers of all ethnicities. Look up the definition, "African American" was created in 1986 and announced by Jesse Jackson. There are specifics.
