I was going to answer individually but, shockingly, Atlanta fans vocabulary is really limited so they just repeat each other. Here's my response.

Yes I: am fat, have blue bangs, could eat more salads

No I: am not a guy, white, going to fuck myself/die

Oh! And...
For those simply tweeting my profile pic I feel bad that you can't use your words so here's some more for you to choose from so I don't get bored. Again.

Thanks for the chance to look at some really great memories!
There you go.

And one last thing.

When you come for me you have to come correct. You haven't been so quit wasting my time and my battery.

STOODIS

🖤

That Time Natives Gave @MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred An Award: A Thread

Last week MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred decided that racial justice for Natives is over by announcing he was cool with the @Braves racist name, chop, and chant.

#TheTimelsNow #NotYourMascot #ChangeTheName
Apparently Rob Manfred solved racism against Natives when he got Cleveland to stop wearing chief wahoo on the field in 2018.

#TheTimelsNow #NotYourMascot #ChangeTheName
Rob Manfred knows he's the best ever at solving all of the Native baseball racism because he has one Native friend, the National Congress of American Indians @NCAI1944, who gave him an award for it in 2019.

ATLANTA FANS ARE NOT RACIST: A Thread

Now that I have your attention:
I mean not *all* Atlanta fans are racist.

The @braves name, chop, and chant are 100% racist. As is Rob Manfred. As is anyone who perpetuates stereotypes that denigrate Natives.

#thetimeisnow #changethename
What people don't understand is that you can do and participate in things that are racist without being racist yourself. It's your understanding of what you are doing or participating in that makes the difference.
Lets talk about your Aunt Bea.

Aunt Bea loves baseball and is a huge ATL fan. She became a fan when they were the Boston Bees because it tickled her that they shared a name. Her fandom continued when they became the Boston @braves, then the Milwaukee braves, and now as Atlanta.

What I'd really like is to go back to not having to talk about this but I made a promise to my kid in 2014. She was told in a college class that racism against Natives didn't matter because of the Washington, Cleveland, Atlanta, and KC names and mascots.
I promised her that I'd do everything in my power to make sure she never had to hear anything like that again.

I failed.
Two months later a woman who was upset that she had to wait for something in a retail setting due to a technical issue called my kid a wetback beaner. My kid bowed up and informed her she was Native. The lady then called her a retarded redskin.

Ok.

Just remember you asked.
The other night the @Braves dimmed the lights so their fans could once again perform the disgusting tomahawk chop, lit by their phone flashlights and amplified by their faclke Native chant. This despite years of Natives opposing the chop as racist.
Speaking as a Mvskoke and Semvnole violently targeted by @Braves fans for vocally opposing the use of Native iconography by Atlanta I can tell you it doesn't matter what we say about it.

I'll address this point by point but first here's screenshots of your tweets in case you delete them.

1/
 This you?

There's nothing vaguely negative about that comment. It was a targeted attack using disgusting stereotypes. You say that was sarcasm but in the next breath dismiss our concerns as something that doesn't actually matter. You can't have it both ways.

Yes. I described the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians using the word "pet" .

Since some Atlanta fans are using their cerebral cortices to remember the tomahawk chant instead of learning how actual words work I'll explain, not that they'll bother to admit they misunderstood.
English contains 8 parts of speech that have specific functions in a sentence: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and articles.

For our purposes we'll focus on nouns and adjectives.
This is the sentence Atlanta fans are upset with. The contentious portion is "pet tribe", which people wrongly believe I used to compare EBCI with animals.

"Atlanta can buy a pet tribe in the Eastern Band of Cherokee but until this ends and they #changethename they are too."
