Some people say this tweet from @realcandaceo is xenophobic and racist.

See, Candance Owens doesn't actually know things. She's a lot more dumb than she is racist. So here are some facts:

1. MOST unauthorized immigrants don't cross the border. A not-dumb person would know this.
2. In the last 10 yrs, more unauthorized immigrants left the US than entered illegally. That's why the unauthorized immigrant population has declined

Also, more than 100 people have entered my home. They also left. Only a dumb person would wonder why my house isn't crowded.
3. Opening borders wouldn't help Democrats

Even if Candace Owens was smart enough to know how math works, she would still be too dumb to know that immigration policy is determined on the federal level. Only citizens to vote in federal elections.
4. Unauthorized immigrants don't vote illegally.

There is not one legitimate study, paper, or bit of evidence of even one-half of 1% of illegal voting fraud in a state or federal election.

But in 2014, researches surveyed 20,000 ppl. 19,500 were citizens. 500 (2.5%) were not.
Of those 500 noncitizens, 15 percent said they voted. A few other researchers who, like Candace Owens," are dumb, applied that figure to the 2008 election. An even DUMBER group of people, MAGAmuffins, saw that figure and claimed "illegal immigrants elected Barack Obama"
This one-third of 1% of people who said they weren't citizens but still voted is the origin of the claim that illegal immigrants vote. People who ARE NOT DUMB understand that every survey has an error rate.

The CCES even did a study on the dumb people: cces.gov.harvard.edu/news/perils-ch…
But here's the question that dumb people never ever seem to answer:

Why would the "illegal immigrants" vote for Democrats?

Let's say the illegals are bumrushing the country. Let's even say the Dems are letting them in. Let's say they somehow find a way to vote.

Why Democrat?
They just got here, right? How do the mythical illegal voters know who opened the borders? Why would they risk being deported to support Dems? Why would ppl who don't speak the language, haven't been brainwashed & haven't been indoctrinated automatically hate the GOP?

UNLESS...
It's the same reason Black people don't fuck with the GOP. Or Hispanics. Or Asians. Or Muslims. Or...Well, no one other than white people. The Republican party doesn't not have a majority in any other racial, ethnic or religious demographic other than white people.

Why is that?
Why is it that no one else is making up lies about immigrants and ethnicities? Why is it that EVERY OTHER GROUP thinks the GOP is racist EXCEPT white people?

How is this the ONLY TOPIC IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD that people from around the world can come here and agree on?
And, why is it, that of all the Black scholars, politicians, academics and smart people in the entire universe, the most prominent Black champion of the conservative ideology is someone who is not an expert in anything and is wrong about simple, 11th-grade social studies facts?
We know why. It's not complex. It's probably not about the grift, the lack of talent to do anything else, or even the attitude

She's just dumb.

They know it
That's why they send her
THEY LOVE giggling behind her back

I don't even dislike @RealCandaceO
I pity her dumb ass

The Allegory of The Third-Floor Piano

A thread:
Years ago, a poor blacksmith was working for a wealthy slave trader when he heard an enslaved woman playing a beautiful song on a piano.

The blacksmith had never heard anything like it in his life. He had to hear the song again. He began working to build his wealth
Once he got rich, the formerly poor blacksmith went to the wealthy slave trader to purchase the enslaved woman but the slave trader refused.

“That’s how I get all my customers!” Said the wealthy man. “I hire her out to teach ppl how to play, but she isn’t for sale.”

5,000 yrs from now, archaeologists discover an immaculately preserved American dwelling circa 1950-2000 but can’t figure out who lived there.

Suddenly, the Black archaeologist finds one item and confidently declares

“A Black family lived here.”

Post a pic of what she found.

The Lincoln Project is about to get a lot of donations but Here’s the thing about this thread by Steve Schmidt, why democracy is in danger, and why people love Donald Trump:

A thread.
First of all, we can’t act like this country has never been this divided before. Before the Civil War, it was worse than that. There was a whole intra-state civil war over whether or not Kansas would allow slavery. The
Pro-slavery Democrats burned down an entire KS town and stole a cannon. A pro slavery Democrat beat Charles Sumner damn near to death ON THE FLOOR OF CONGRESS. They had to throw out entire elections.

Then there was the CIVIL WAR civil war. You know, the big one

It finally happened. One of my worst fears came true today but with faith and courage, I managed to overcome this nightmare scenario.

Thread.
I was working from home, minding my business when my dog came to let me know he needed to go outside. I’m letting him out in the backyard when I get a message on slack that I’m supposed to be in a meeting, so I leave the back door cracked so he can come back in
Halfway through the meeting, I hear tapping. I figure it’s Omar. He’s 165 lbs & can open the door with his face, but he’s so dumb (or polite) that EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN, he won’t come in unless I explicitly let him in (or maybe he’s a vampire)

I go upstairs to let him in

This tweet is hilarious

No one has EVER said they wanted to eat, shop and live around white people. In fact, the TRUE origin of legalized segregation has to do with something that NO ONE (aside from @sullydish) wants to talk about truthfully:

Fear of a Black penis.

A thread.
See, for years, white people have believed, for some reason, that Black men find white women irresistible. No one knows where it came from. But it is a thing that a LOT of white people believe.

It's has shaped American history in ways we don't talk about.
I know it sounds lewd, but let's see:

When white people first came and stole the land, they said the people & children "which shall happen to be born within...any of the Limits and Precincts of the said several Colonies and Plantations.. "

Some outlets say Zaila Avante-Garde is the first Black woman to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee, but she’s the 1st AFRICAN AMERICAN

Jody-Anne Maxwell from Jamaica won in 1998

Others say she’s won the NATIONAL SPELLING BEE, which is an interesting story…

A thread
The National Spelling Bee that we watch started in 1925. But it was the SECOND one.

The first National Spelling Bee one was held in 1908 but something crazy happened.
Now, to understand how big this was, you gotta remember, there was no NBA, NFL, baseball was all-white and Netflix had very little content so people used to get together and do boring shit like make blankets or husk corn.
