@PeterHotez What’s not understood about causality here is that people, White Americans WILL use ANYTHING & EVERTHING to justify validate and rationalize THEIR HATE BASED IDEOLOGIES; it's their religion; whether your stance is anti-sci, anti-abortion, anti-Muslim, anti-Black it all
1/
@PeterHotez boils down to a few COMMON factors regardless of which "anti-Black" group you belong to:
1a) NO MATTER WHAT is widely understood to be true, if that reality doesn’t confirm you and what you believe DESPITE ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY you simply dismiss those saying what
2/
@PeterHotez ever it is YOU DONT LIKE/WANT TO HEAR/CONSIDE and don't believe those facts (easy peasy)
1b) But now you hate the PEOPLE telling you those facts b/c they've invalidated YOU and not respected your right to the delusion of your choice and you can't tolerate them AT ALL ...so
3/
@PeterHotez 1c) off you go find a group a book a channel that says ONLY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR: hint Its not the channels fault you believe or don't believe. They do however make money off of exploiting that but Ive got news for you; if Tucker Carlson changed his views tomorrow and started
4/
@PeterHotez spouting truth, FOXERS WOULD SIMPLY GO FIND ANOTHER TUCKER SOUND-A- LIKE. He's replaceable, what they believe,,, is not...
What they believe is their identity and if it's wrong then THEY ARE WRONG (& how dare you question WM anyway)
1d) White PPL BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT
5/
@PeterHotez B/C IT VALIDATES THEM & THAT THEY'RE RIGHT & JUSTIFIES THEY'RE AMORALITY, CRUELTY PRIVILEGE POWER AND SUPERIOR SELVES! B/c if they're wrong than WM are no longer credible (they'd rather kill targeted others & die first)
1e) BECAUSE LIFE HAS NO GUARANTEES WHEN LIFE DOESNT
6/
@PeterHotez MATCH WHAT WP/WM THINK THEYRE OWED RE: RESPECT & POSITION; ITS SCI, ABORTION, MUSLIM OR BLACK FOLKS FAULT
And bingo, now we arrive at variable number:
2a) the pathological avoidance of any responsibility to the degree of openly throwing temper
7/
@PeterHotez tantrums (that any Af-Am would be shoot dead for) with police, in courts, in public etc but that's OK b/c they're WM/WW never mind the number of people they put at risk while doing so.... It's their world, they're entitled, and you're just a bozo with a complaint.
8/
@PeterHotez And it works; WP soon cave.... And if WP don't they know THEY WONT GO TO JAIL so they just keep increasing the volume until WP CAVE & THEY KNOW YOU WILL b/c unlike you with 500 things to do, they only have 1, make you cave which WP always do.
2a) NO MATTER WHAT UNFOUNDED
8/
@PeterHotez BELIEF THESE FOLKS SPOUT: IT BEGINS WITH HATE, CONTROL OF OTHERS. DENIAL OF EQUALITY RESPECT AND THE HUMANITY OF OTHERS & justifies all the ways and reasons why WP are exempted from the cruel consequences theu dole out to targeted others they blame for any & everything.
9/
@PeterHotez Would that sci, Af-Am, Muslims were so powerful as to be able to deny White Supremacists and hate identity based WP all the jobs, wealth , love, perfect wives children, big d_cks & lives WP always wanted/dreamed of b/c if sci, Af-Am, Muslims were that powerful they'd have
10/
@PeterHotez shown your ass the door a long time ago
This is why it's not FOX OR TUCKER. They just make money off reflecting America back to itself and the uglier this self portrait is, the more WP HATE. But FOX/TUCK bow out now, they're traitors and will be
11/
@PeterHotez targeted (not that I'd care in the least) because WP can sustain all this HATE all in their own. It's as American as apple pie. They don't need cheerleaders...WP got it covered all on their own
There's no way you HATE as an identity & no way after watchin folks die jumpin off a cliff you happily jump too unless you're already profoundly impaired. & that's not something that just emerges. You either came wired that way or there's somethin in t/water we've yet to discover
For 2long I've been spittin in t/wind on this. It's really time WP got it. T/deadly complacency of denial linked to White comfort.. re-victimizes those already victimized by aggressors denialists insist on protecting via lack of Ed/exposure etc. narratives!
I'm havin none of it
@Peace4all17@tlfmgator00@ReginaMichele5 This is just t/conversation tonight.
T/fact that none of this is sane or based in lived experience should inform us just how damaged these folks are.
THEY CANT WAIT, THEY CAN'T STOP & THEY CANT INCLUDE ANY INFO THAT DISPROVES ONE BABY HAIR ON THEIR HEAD WITHOUT FALLING APART

@Peace4all17@tlfmgator00@ReginaMichele5 This is what death looks like staring you in the face b/c one way or the other these folks are determined to GET THEIRS
And to save themselves the indignity of being WHITE WRONG WRONG & SO BEYOND WRONG they're running right into the fire claiming theyre now saved just before

@Peace4all17@DKThomp@KumarAGarg This is the evidence for ongoing passive genocide and as those who follow me know I've made the case for this via more threads than I can count. While there are improvements in some areas for Af-Am death rates the impact of these POLICIES IS WELL KNOWN & INCREMENTAL
1/
@Peace4all17@DKThomp@KumarAGarg IMPROVEMENTS IS NOT AN EXCUSE OR COVER for this shameful inhumane approach b/c when those same issues hit white communities the policy response is ROBUST. To, no one ever takes into account that Af-Am have thanks to HBCs become more educated and there are more Af-Am MDs

@Peace4all17@DKThomp@KumarAGarg to help fight off those rates of illness and deaths but the passive obfuscated POLICY underbelly continues across all domains of Af-Am life starting with policing, & the lifelong truamatic STRESS (not it's not post- because it never stopped) of living in a White Society that

@mj_ruleoflaw@StatenIrished My family on both sides is LONG LIVED so yes. They were with us through 94, 91 89 & 89 immigrants all except for my mother's mother (my grandmother) who was racist as hell. How she married my brown skinned grandfather from Lebanon with all that hate spilling out of her I'll

She and my grandfather had of course divorced by the time I was born, but all he would ever say when asked was "at one point I loved your grandmother very much." And that was that.
He was always the consummate gentleman.
She'd also thrown a fit when my

@mj_ruleoflaw@StatenIrished mother married my father that WAS ONGOING ALL THROUGH OUR CHILDHOOD'S because my dad's mother (my paternal grandmother) was "mulatto."
& Although we were never allowed to be rude to her even if she did talk racist trash drivel about my dad his mom or indirectly about us,

@mj_ruleoflaw@StatenIrished My mom had at kids at 17, 19, 32, 42 (me) 43 & 45 My sister at 17, 19, 41, & 43. Me at 35. I'm terribly grateful the values I was raised with were at least 25-30 yrs behind the times (here were not taking racism sexism homophobia- that was NEVER part of my upbringing).

There are some perks w/age & wisdom you can't put a price on.
The differences I noticed; my parents took us to museums, plays, dance performances & work, not movies; & had us conversing with adults (they had interesting

@mj_ruleoflaw@StatenIrished overseas friends who came to visit, sometimes months at a time) who broadened what we thought about and knew.
We weren't allowed to watch TV till 8 yrs old & even then only 3 hours for "special" Sunday shows (something I repeated with my daughter).
