@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk What’s wrong with using the word race to define racism? Why is he a charlatan? What are you? Some racist dude on the internet thinking he knows more about race than IXK just because he thinks his opinions are diamonds?

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk Yes because he is an expert who spends his days engaging with the hundreds of research studies about race discrepancies in housing, education, incarceration, life expectancy, income etc and then you, random internet person, think you know better. Read a book

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk Why would there be a difference in outcome? Are you suggesting biological differences?

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk This is your straw man, the white people part. And playing ball is not an ‘organisation’ the sports organisations are white dominated.

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk Are you worried about out lack of white representation in sports teams?

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk What do you think white people have more merit at?

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk Is this YOUR straw man?

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@MiddleAgedBaby2 @ibramxk What DID you mean?

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@SupraTico95 @cantcancelmimi @ibramxk And there absolutely still is slavery today …. Google it …. And there is racism today too! But you wouldn’t know if you just make things up in your own mind …. 🤡

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]

@cantcancelmimi @ibramxk Thinking for yourself 🤪 = just making up your own racist garbage ….

[Kirsten Zemke @FlyingZemke]
