Happy #Loving Day. 56 years ago today, SCOTUS affirmed Mildred and Richard Loving's right to marry, ensuring that marriages like my own were legal in all 50 states. Forever grateful for them! The GOP would see this undone.

Loving v VA was cited in the Obergefell v Hodges decision which affirmed the right for same-sex couples to marry. Appropriate that Loving Day is during #Pride month. If my son every marries, he too will owe a debt to them. 3/3 Image
*ever*. Sheesh, I have Monday fingers today.

"The investigation of the Madison County school district, launched in October 2021, uncovered numerous cases of race-based harassment in which Black and multiracial students were subjected to derogatory racial comments by their peers" 1/

Black and multiracial students are regularly subjected to this kind of racist behavior, considered by too many yt people to be "just kids being kids". Compare and contrast to a story I shared yesterday: 2/

Black and other students of color live the reality of racism every day in every state. Lawsuits don't always work out like this and they're always after the fact and don't reverse the trauma these students have been subjected to. But white students are too fragile, 3/

Let's be clear. This was in an Advanced Placement HS English class. Taking AP courses generally indicates you are planning to go to college. So good luck pulling this with your professors. 1/

Go to Furman. Or Liberty. Or Hillsdale. Or Wheaton where you can be coddled and insulated. 2/

"“I am pretty sure a teacher talking about systemic racism is illegal in South Carolina.” Image
Meanwhile, Black and other children of color are expected to be exposed to whitewashed history and literature.

And any guilty about being white is not because we're putting it on you. That's you and your family's problem directly resulting from pretending these 3/

Thread. This came up in my own thread about it and I've seen it in others. I repeat. This is a "No True Scotsman" logical fallacy. The argument goes like this: "Well, they're not Christians / true Christians". The point is they think they are; they convince others 1/
they are; they use Christianity as a cudgel and a tool of guilt. The Christians who dismiss them as "not Christians" are simply washing their hands of them like Pilate.EVERY sect and denomination has another it points to as not really Christian. Every sect and denomination 2/
thinks it's the true one. Mainstream or fringe, they're all pointing fingers at a different one saying "Well they're not real Christians". Protesants to Catholics and vice versa. Fundamentalists to LDS. High church to low and vice versa. As an atheist, I see your 3/

Humans are complex, fallible, and inconsistent. It's why I don't lionize people to the point where when their failures and flaws are significant, I'm not crushed. Have had some convos about Teddy with ppl who adore him. 1/

Referred to as a progressive President, he's a case study in how being "progressive" doesn't exclude racism. I can appreciate that he said things like this: 2/ Image
while knowing and understanding that he also held a lot of racist views about Black and Indigenous people. 3/ Image

Let's set the stage. This school has a 10% Black population and has separate classes for Black students. 2/ Image
The mom requested a specific teacher for her child, a thing I know white parents do every day including when my son was in school. She was told the "Black classes were full" and I'm still wrapping my head around the intra-school segregation. 3/
