By 1999, racism in America was virtually gone, thanks largely to these four men.
No, you don’t understand. It was gone.
(1/2)
…but thanks to these four, all of that has been erased. I don’t know how it was pre-civil rights, but this is the worst it’s ever felt in my lifetime.
You don’t understand if you were born after 1990. It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

For my non-American friends: I’m going to try to explain modern American politics to you, using the Wizard World of Harry Potter.
Republicans and Democrats aren’t Harry, Dumbledore, Voldemort.
Republicans are Gilderoy Lockhart.
Democrats are Lucius Malfoy.
Thread🧵🪄💫
Republicans – conservative media, political operatives, elected officials, are generally considered to be on the “good” side, like Professor Lockhart is.
(You read the books, saw the movies. You know where this is going.)
In reality, they’re feckless midwit narcissists.

I could be the most fêted auteur in cinema, and the chances of this working would still be slim. May as well just pitch @jk_rowling @wbpictures @StreamOnMax here, and hope it goes viral.
Ms. Rowling: we need an Auror series starring Daniel Radcliffe.

The @wizardingworld is infinitely vast and almost entirely unexplored, since we’ve mostly seen it through the eyes of @HarryPotter during his years at Hogwarts.
…but then, as an adult, he becomes a Dark Wizard hunter for the government.
It’s the biggest set-up in IP history.

Hey, @olivegarden! Family friend visited your College Station, TX location with his 8yo daughter. Their “waitress” was a man in a dress with a deep voice who scared the little girl. Dad discretely asked for a different waiter…and was escorted with his child from the restaurant.
Please research and address the situation, keeping in mind that it isn’t “intolerant” when a child recognizes that a man in a dress is still a man. This is shabby customer service, and literally misogynistic.
