Looking for a positive way forward.

Critical of toxic elements on both the left and right.

Looking for like-minded people

Glenn Loury on how Ta-Nehisi Coates provides guilty liberal elites the words they need whilst our discourse around race refuses to address the suffering and deaths of thousands of Black people every year

It is a morally reprehensible situation and he gets rightly heated

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

@raisintooth @protusmose @work_trench Do you have any sources on that?

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

@BullyMaus But that's because it's performative more than anything else. She wants to be perceived as the virtuous white woman dunking on other white women.

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

@BullyMaus Ha she strikes such a patronizing tone to whoever she imagines as her audience. Hard to believe that anyone want to listen to someone who speaks to them like they're 5

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

@HistoryBoomer haha this gives me hope!

If you run for school board and denounce Critical Race Theory, expect this:

@wil_da_beast630 I think mainly because progressive white people don’t like to criticise Black culture or people. They’re more likely to have a go at Eminem but generally just give hip hop a pass.

Perfection is only found in those who are never questioned or challenged.

On November 21st in Waukesha, nothing happened

[Coleman Hughes @coldxman]

Everyone who is saying that Kyle Rittenhouse would have been found guilty if he were black should recall that Kenneth Walker (Breonna Taylor's bf) shot a cop (!) in self-defense and was cleared of all charges (and rightly so).

It's amazing how selective people's memories are.

@JakeAnbinder I think this is a good definition.

As with all ideologies there’s bound to be some internal discrepancies and disagreements but this article does a good job imo of outlining the core beliefs.

What do you think?

@BrandonLBradfor Be interested to read them! I don’t agree with him on everything but think he makes some points that the left could do to take on board

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

@moniguzman @BenBellaBooks Congratulations Mónica!! Can’t wait to read it :)

Your outrage has become a commodity, don’t sell yourself out

That’s one hell of a mic drop end to a tweet thread 🎤

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I’ve now received so many death threats I could paper the house with them, and I haven’t stopped speaking out. Perhaps – and I’m just throwing this out there – the best way to prove your movement isn’t a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us. 8/X

@heero99 @guardian Also this:

“The Rittenhouse verdict is proof that it is reasonable to believe that the fear of Black people can absolve a white person of any crime.”

He shot three white people for crying out loud.

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

Super dangerous route for @guardian, I paper I used to trust, to go down.

Any journalists who work there please find the courage to speak up against this divisive & hateful stuff. We’re headed to a bad place otherwise.

@heero99 @guardian Labelling a fair court case ‘white reasoning’ is irresponsible in my view. I think people are immune to seeing potential harm when the word ‘white’ is involved, when we’d be far quicker to see it if the phrase was ‘Jewish reasoning’ or ‘Black reasoning’ etc used as a pejorative

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

Let’s not forget the whitest reasoning of all…

[Ash Parks @TheRealAshParks]

And this too?
