Barking the truth

@ElBLogan Reminder that youth ages quickly and repeats patterns each generations.

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@ajzeigler Maybe because you raised it in the context of Nazi Germany?

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@DrTraceyBenson No. They insist upon teaching the US is and has always been a meritocracy.

They are exculpatory memory laws.

You remember in Interstellar when Matt Damon was in mid-speech and got blown out the airlock? This is that moment in tweet form.

@katrosenfield Modern bronte treatments of Austen books is just bad. Leave bronte to brontes. A&E did an Austen treatment of Austen.

@WolvesforKamala @What46HasDone Ugh!

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@WolvesforKamala @What46HasDone Thank you!

@aewrdr55 People noticing patterns are pointing out pattern incidents. If you cannot think systemically, that’s your thing, but mocking people who notice systemic patterns replicating is not helpful, if you have any interest in those patterns changing.

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 It could help you if you were willing to consider how racism functions in this culture and whether this response is part of that function.

But you aren’t, evidently.

That’s the biggest part of the problem.

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 He is allowed to do whatever he likes and others are allowed to criticize him.

I didn’t say anything about his life and what it revolves around. I said something about the general cultural response to her. Each individual contributing is contributing.

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 You’re calling arguments ‘weak’ but I haven’t seen any part of your response that acknowledges any reflection at all upon how this mirrors the general culture when it comes to race and gender.

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 It might also be part of systemic racism that using 5 tweets to denigrate a whole population of people who are sensitive to the way the public responds to the most prominent Black woman in American politics.

@aewrdr55 He did more than that, quite clearly.

But even if he did only that, is it not possible that the focus on the vice president’s approval numbers is part of the rip-her-to-shreds effect that’s quite evident in a lot of public discussion around Kamala Harris?

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 *has

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 He said other things than “she had a low approval rating”. Distorting the record results in bad systems analysis.

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 Are you able to give me an analytical rather than a personal emotional response?

[LadyBarkbeth @LBarkbeth]

@aewrdr55 Why would baiting/hostility toward/contempt for people who perceive that racism is part of why people in the US react to Kamala Harris the way they do (reminder, US) not be part of systemic reinforcement of racism?
