It is amazing that Andrew Yang said we can eliminate racism by giving people of color "buying power." As if buying power will prevent me from being killed by racist cops. #DemDebate
Yang said, “you can’t regulate away racism with a whole patchwork of laws that are race specific.”

That’s like saying you can’t regulate away economic inequality with laws that are economy specific, which undermines his UBI campaign.

Solutions must be specific to the problem.
The next time someone proposes economic solutions to racial problems to me—I get this a lot—I’m going suggest racial solutions to economic problems. When the person figures those solutions will not FULLY solve economic inequality, I will respond, “That’s precisely my point.”

On this #mlkday, millions of Democrats are deciding whether to vote for a White progressive or a White moderate in the Democratic primaries. Americans love to impose their ideas onto King as opposed to listening and learning from King's ideas and changing accordingly. 1/
And so, I thought we'd remember what King actually wrote about the White moderate in his letter from a Birmingham jail in 1963. “I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. . . 2/
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice. . . 3/

The criticism of the #1619Project by these historians is part of a larger criticism in response to the tidal wave of revisionist racial history over the last five decades. 1/
This revisionist history has largely been written by women, by historians of color, by younger historians, by antiracist white historians. We have rejected the master narrative that has in fact been the master’s narrative. 2/
Their critiques of revisionist historians do not often hit the mainstream light, perhaps because revisionist history does not often hit the mainstream light as it did beautifully in the #1619Project. 3/

.@sejr_historian is discussing how white women, who were up to 40% of slave owners, received enslaved people as gifts (weddings, birthdays, holidays, etc.) & were in some ways more invested in the promise of the institution than white men. #AntiracistBookFest
.@sejr_historian then powerfully argues that for these white women “slave ownership became a pathway to freedom” as in their economic power became intimately tied to the bodies of enslaved people.
And she further notes that white women would receive enslaved peoples as gifts and white men would receive land. So, marriages would be labor + land in ways that encouraged a deep investment in white supremacy and the institution of slavery.

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday
