A long time ago, people who loved each other could not get married. They were harassed, bullied, threatened, their families were ashamed of them. They had in many cases to hide their love.

And then the supreme court ruled gay marriage legal. Love won.
A long time ago, people who loved each other could not get married. They were harassed, bullied, threatened, their families were ashamed of them. They had in many cases to hide their love.

And then by law and court battle miscegenation laws were slowly removed. Love won
Today the children of these families grow up to be told how their birth won’t end racism. We know, it was never the point. we’re told that our family members oppress each other because of the color of their skin (Of course sometimes, and yet the opposite is also true).
Our parents are even encouraged to divorce (how painful).
We are told by white supremacists our blood isn’t pure.

And told by the “woke” that we do not belong to the race of our parents.
Caught in the middle of racism on every side, used as pawns by activists who know nothing about us, and care nothing about us. And who speaks out for us? @Tim Pool ? He is one of us. Who else? Not the “Woke” they seem to hate us as much as the KKK.
You do not know us by our skin color, by our speech, by our clothes. Yet we exist. We are not a monolith. And our families are not pawns for your racist hate games. Our heritage is not yours to decide. Who will stand up and say no to interracial racism? No matter where.
These kinds of things are said far too often. I will not be silent anymore.

[Thread] Critical Race Theory is race essentialism. This is one of the reasons it's so insaine that it is gaining traction in 2020.

In fact all critical theories are in fact based in essentialism.
1/
Beyond reviving the worst aspects of racism that has ever existed people are injecting it into numerous other areas of life.

While many correctly lable these attitudes as collectivist. This barely scratches the surface of how dangerous this shift is.

And that's saying allot
2/
Apparently people need a reminder of why race essentialism was rejected. Why anyone with a sense of history has such a visceral reaction when encountering these ideas

These concepts have brought about the worst most evil events in history

[Thread] You can not build a healthy successful relationship by constantly picking at every scab your friends have never letting their wounds heal. You can't constantly obsess about every flaw in your partner and expect your relationship to last.
Anyone telling you otherwise does not have your best interests in mind.

Harping on the negative will alter your perception. Those tiny flaws in your loved ones will turn into demons living in your mind. You'll stop seeing who they are and start treating them as you imagine them
In this way such obsessions will drive you to the edge of madness

At the same time, your constant berating cutting demanding behavior will harm those around you and as the scabs built up they will loose the ability to empathize or care about what happens to you

[Thread] There's a quote by Carl Sagan that tends to lend itself as a chilling prophesy foreseeing the crazy world we find ourselves in today.

It's interesting how every group and side believes this quote to perfectly represent the world, as they alone hold true to science.
This is evidenced by simply googling Segan quotes and looking at the various groups attempting to lay claim to his words by inserting their own branding over them. In an attempt to ally themselves with Sagan, and the ideals he dedicated his life to.

Yet most fall far short
I think it would be more beneficial to seek understanding of how he came to his conclusions, what led him to believe that a possible outcome could be this slide back to pre enlightenment thinking

Superstition's like homeopathy, critical theories, a return to racist segregation

This right here. We need to start examining laws and rules which encourage abuse and bad behavior.

There needs to be more balance between protecting the accused prior to conviction, and punishing those who knowingly abuse the systemi, and catching criminals in general
While I don't hate the police, I also don't generally like things that make a cops life easier (though I do want them safe).

Thing is, if the state is going to throw me in jail, I want to know I was able to defend myself and my name fully
I expect this for every single citizen. Thus I want cops to really have to work for it. No invasive stalking or spying by the state.

As a part of this also should come protection from those who would abuse the system by making false accusations or reports by non state actors

Thread:
When I was young I wanted to be a cop. Well ok first I wanted to be a pilot so I could become an astronaut... But not turns out I wasn't smart enough for that.

But cop seemed interesting not boring, at the time didn't require college, and you help people most of all...
It paid well, ok not that well but as much as a c average high school graduate could hope to achieve. It definitely seemed like an improvement over a life digging ditches for minimum wage.

So I did what many kids do looking to join the force. I went on a ride along.
I actually highly recommend this. It's very insightful. I didn't find any hint of hate anger or racism. We went out to serve a warrant, the home was deserted. Responded to a call for a domestic disturbance which turned out to be bogus, and almost instantly one of the officers

@ConceptualJames watched that debate, so many more thoughts that Twitter can't do justice for.

One point that kept coming up, however:

(Hopefully a short thread)
Cancel culture is not synonyms with boycott culture.

And the justification that it's ok because the only people "cancelled" are people they don't like doesn't make it right. It completely avoids the point, problem, and reality of how cancel culture interacts with people.
Cancel culture is not the withdrawal of support. It specifically stalks people, then bullies the people around them into casting them out, usually for the high crime of minor disagreement. Sometimes as a means to gain power over others or to destroy someone they don't like.
