On this anniversary of #BloodySunday we thank God for civil rights leaders like @repjohnlewis.
And we reject the racism from the @BernieSanders camp who refer to black voters as low info voters! Because we’re in the south, we have NEVER had the luxury of being low info! #Selma
And we will #NeverForget
#BernieBros are still pummeling black people for their vote! We don’t owe our vote to a cult leader with supporters who don’t respect the man who fought for our right to vote with his very blood!
#retweet
#NeverForget
#BernieBros have no respect for our civil rights heroes and will try to lecture us on civil rights! These are our heroes⬇️, not privileged white cult leaders who didn’t even work or vote until they were 40!
It’s time to take a stand, make our voices heard! We want a #DEMOCRAT, a PROUD Dem, a LIFELONG Dem who doesn’t tear down those Dems who came before them! Who fought for US! Don’t let uninformed people ever tear down or reduce the accomplishments of our DEMOCRATS!

#CarolineKennedy endorses #Biden2020!
“We need a president who can bring people together, who knows how to get things done at home and abroad, whose word we can count on, and who can nurture the next generation of leaders. We need Joe Biden.” - C. Kennedy bostonglobe.com/2020/02/04/opi…
“this election is about more than achievement. It is about character... people still tell me that they are inspired by the words from my father’s inaugural address: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” Joe Biden embodies those words.”
“this election is about winning. We need a nom who can compete in every state, who can bring wandering Dems & Ins back to the fold, & attract some Reps. Biden at the top of the ticket is our best bet to win the WH, keep the gains we made in the House, & put the Senate in play”

#Bernie supporters on Reddit are taking the loss well. Calling voters in SC “rodents”, saying black voters in Southern States shouldn’t matter, and calling South Carolinians “uneducated.”

#SouthCarolinaPrimary
#BidenForPresident
#BernieSanders supporters are saying that black voters are “low information” and “voting against their interests” and “out of touch” and “are only voting for Biden because of Obama and not his policies”

#SouthCarolinaPrimary
#BernieSanders supporters:

“years of terrible education in the south due to racism have caused black voters to not get the education necessary to see that only Bernie can help them... it may be necessary mobilize and discourage certain Black voters from turning out.”

Thread on #poverty, #racism, & #MLK:
#MLKDay #MLKDay2020

Reflecting back upon the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1 point always stands out, a searing reminder of what was – and still is – America’s grossest injustice: /1
that in the one of the richest nations in the world, so many millions of people remain trapped in cyclical, soul-crushing poverty. /2
Dr. King, of course, regularly received death threats as he fought for political rights for African Americans. Police and law enforcement agents beat and jailed him repeatedly for his stances on social equity. /3

1/ Today President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law on August 6, 1965, with MLK Jr present. In honor of this day I wanted to do a thread 🧵 about the #VRA54 and why #VoterSuppression cost us the White House in 2016 and could again in 2020. Buckle up!
2/Quick timeline:
✔️The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by Lincoln on January 1, 1863 (enslaved African Americans freed)
✔️Reconstruction begins 1863 to 1877
✔️14th Amendment ratified 1868.
✔️15th Amendment ratified 1870.
🚩White resentment is growing exponentially. #VRA54
3/15th Amendment gave Black men the right to vote. A record number of Black men were elected to Congress for the 1st time. Many white Southerns had (have) zero interest in Black people crafting laws so they started disinformation & voter suppression campaigns (sound familiar?)

THREAD comparing 2 different Democratic candidates in 2015-16 v. 2019-20. It doesn't matter what you think of either candidate, whether you support or oppose one of them or both of them. 1/
It was around this time in 2015-the yr before the 2016 election-that we saw the introduction of the “#BernieSanders can't appeal to black voters” narrative; we were told his supporters are all white “Berniebros” /2
Countless articles, blogs & social media posts fixated on looking for nonwhite people at Bernie's rallies. I read 2 pieces by @JoanWalsh in @Salon in Aug of that yr. Walsh initiated this narrative & was the principal peddler of what is now an easily disproven cliché. /3

(1) Racist. As a Trump supporter, I hear that all the time. “YOU’RE A RACIST!”

Let’s explore. #Racism
(2) The actual roots of racism, lie squarely in the democrat’s court. See actual DNC photograph:
(3) Remember this LBJ quote? “I’ll have those ni**ers voting Democrat for 200 years”

@blackrepublican
Early Signs of Trouble - A History of #WhiteSupremacy at First Baptist Church (Dallas).

How a #Dallas church with a history of oppposing civil rights for African Americans formed a long and toxic relationship with the Republican Party. #maga #blackconservatives #BlackTwitter
“In 1956, the Supreme Court had recently struck down school segregation in the Brown v. Board of Education case. President Eisenhower had sponsored sweeping civil rights legislation.”
Dr. King was organizing bus boycotts. Pressure was building against segregation across the South. At that time, there may have been no more influential figure in the Southern Baptist Convention than W.A. Criswell, the pastor of the enormous First Baptist Church in Dallas.
