Why I think we need to outlaw the Fourth of July and the CRT (Caucasian Revolution Tale)
A Thread
First of all, I have never studied this so-called document but i know it’s divisive.
Do we want our children “declaring their independence” when they can’t work out their differences?
Plus it teaches that we are “endowed by our creator” with certain unalienable rights.
Is this what we want our children to believe? That, instead of working hard for their rights, they have to wait for an endowment from a a creator who governs all?
This sounds like a government handout to me.
It literally tells kids that they are being oppressed.
This ideology makes people hate their country just like the colonists hated Britain.
We are all one
This the same rhetoric used by the terrorist BLM movement. (British Laws Matter)that’s destroying cities with riots, looting & Tea Parties.
They are being taught to destroy property and tear down statues.
It teaches kids to hate the police and the troops, too. Sure, Crispus Attucks was unarmed when those officers shot him but they feared for their lives! You saw the court transcript!
Any it’s revisionist history.
One, because it was revised
Two: July 4, 1776 IS NOT WHEN AMERICA DECLARED ITS INDEPENDENCE!
Three: You know who DIDN’T celebrate the Fourth of July?
The actual founders.
But even then, they didn’t go flag crazy. It wasn’t even a holiday yet.
The current flag with 13 stripes and a star representing each state didn’t exist until 1818. It was signed in April but it specified that the flag can only be changed on July 4.
You know what else happened in 1818?
Karl Marx was born.
It’s clear: Anyone who celebrates July 4th or flies the American flag should is not doing what the founders would have wanted so they must be celebrating Marx’s bday.
Perhaps the only thing worse than contradicting the founders would be to go against MLK
HE LOVED America.
And he would NEVER disrespect his country like that
And he DEFINITELY wouldn’t have accused his country of being racist. He would’ve AT LEAST discussed Black on Black crime instead of blaming his conditions on racism and oppression like some crazy, America-hating critical race theorist!
He would’ve said something like:
This is why we need to ban the 4th of July. It is revisionist history; it goes against the wishes of the founders and it is a Marxist holiday.
But I don’t celebrate the 4th of July for another reason
For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.
Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.
A thread.
For 5 decades, police officer Roger Golubski sexually assaulted Black women and forced to give false testimony that he used to send Black men to prison while he ran a sex trafficking and drug cartel in Kansas City Kansas
Before everyone leaves this app, I want to make a confession
I'm planning a robbery
I already have a target, a crew & a blueprint, I just need 1 more thing:
Will you help me recreate the greatest Black on Black crime in US history?
A story
An announcement
A (final) thread
On Thursday, May 23, 1861, Frank Baker, James Townsend, and Shepard Mallory orchestrated the greatest heist in American history.
Less than 6 weeks after the start of the Civil War, the enslaved men were essentially donated to the Virginia Confederate Militia to dig ditches
As they worked near the exact same spot where "20& Odd" Africans arrived 1619, the men spotted a boat.
Of course they skedaddled. Scrammed. Vamoosed. They ran like Josh Hawley in an insurrection, crossed the river and presented themselves to Union Gen, George Butler
People who say this election could be the "end of democracy" are so extra...
Or maybe they know the TRUE history of the election-denying white supremacist who led a violent insurrection, overturned a presidential election and ended democracy in America.
A thread
First, you should know that the US Constitution created a form of govt called a "federal republic" where elected officials represent the citizens (as opposed to a DIRECT DEMOCRACY, where people vote on every decision)
But a representative democracy is just A KIND OF DEMOCRACY
Saying, "America is a constitutional republic, not a democracy," is like saying: "I'm a MAGA Republican, not an American."
BTW, this is your daily reminder that @laurenboebert is a pro-insurrection MAGA Republican HS dropout who failed the GED 3x... NOT an American.
My uncle’s friend Hawk was a feared gangsta. He was ruthless but he was also a chess wizard. According to the streets, Hawk only lost 1 once, years ago, when he was in prison.
So imagine my surprise when my uncle told Hawk: “l bet $100 my nephew will kick your ass
A thread
Now I was like 12 or 13, so even though I was a chess prodigy, I was scared AF
What if I put Hawk in check and he slit my throat ? What if he sicced his goons on me to keep his streak alive? I hadn’t even reached goon-fighting age!
Then my uncle made a deal:
If I beat Hawk, I could keep the money.
A whole $100 dollars? Oh, hell yeah! I was down.
There was just one other problem with my uncle’s plan.
One of my former economics students recently reminded me about a concept I used to call "belief economics."
I haven't taught the course it in a long time, but ever since she reminded me, it perfectly explains why everyone is so focused on Black male Trump voters
A thread:
My "Race as an Economic Construct" class applied economic principles as a framework for understanding the concept of race.
I know you've heard that race is an SOCIAL CONTRUCT - it is. But MOST social constructs are ALSO economic constructs.
Even money.
A $100 bill is more valuable than monopoly money bc society constructed a monetary system. Take the pseudointellectual right-wing conspiracy about the gold standard
Why is gold so valuable?
Sure it's rare. But it's not as rare as rhodium or as useful as iron.
While other organizations (hopefully, maybe) will be fact-checking, JD Vance & Tim Walz, as usual, I’ll be translating the dog whistles, white lies and overall Caucasity
The live vice presidential debate “BlackCheck”
JD Vance begins by blaming the “Kamala Harris Administration” for Iran’s nuclear progress.
When was that?
Apparently, Kamala Harris has done a LOT. She held a seminar in Iran on how to build nukes
She opened a fentanyl shipping company
She helped organize a human trafficking ring
Somehow, as VP, she passed executive orders to renam the whole South: “Kamala Harris’s open border”
