And they call me a "race traitor," "female version of an Uncle Tom," and a "coon." 🤦♀️🧐

In modern times they are not saying you shouldn’t study Asian, Hispanic, Lgbt, Middle Eastern courses in class. They ONLY say you shouldn’t study #BlackAmerican courses.

“The government of slavery was not a rule of law. It was a rule of police.”
“Negroes and Slaves” were “wholly unqualified to be governed by the Laws . . . of our Nations,” and devised, instead, a special set of rules “for the good Regulating and Ordering of them.”

In 2021 #ClosingArgument
This repealed citizens arrest law (fleeing) they’re arguing & debating originated during the antebellum period (civil war era). It’d been used to justify slave recaptures & lynchings of Black people
Basically in the spirit of
#slavecodes
Well meaning opponents of #TexasVigilanteLaw romanticize it calling it "wild wild west". No.
Texas modeled this atrocity on the #FugitiveSlaveAct1850:
>Women lose all agency (=Slaves)
>Bounties on ALL who help them
>(Inevitable) Violence is rewarded
South STILL LOVES #SlaveCodes
@SenWhitehouse @Basil_Isobar The Texas Vigilante Law is modeled on the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Precisely the same structure:
1. Women have no lawful standing (like slaves)
2. Everyone is deputized to arrest their protectors
3. Rewards intercommunal violence
The South is STILL dedicated to #SlaveCodes.
