- Dear White Politicians, do not go to black churches today & tell us how much you hate racism. Go to white churches and tell them.
- A reminder for all who think that racism is the province of the uneducated.
- .@KamalaHarris announcement THREAD. I can't stop crying. I am the gggggrandaughter of Eliza Burke, born into slavery in 1790 in Georgia. I am the first generation in my family born with the right to vote.
00:00- Just a reminder ... Note that Democrsts haven't won white folks in decades. Note that Carter, Clinton, and Obama all won without winning white folks. Moral: follow the votes and invest in communities of color
- Listening to @HillaryClinton cogent, insightful analysis of the economy, domestic &foreign policy. In whole sentences. And I am mad all over again. This is what we could have had. Instead, we have a man-child playing tweet games with our lives. #butheremails
- Replying to @LeahDaughtryAnd I have lived to see my Party nominate a Black woman as Vice President. This is #HERSTORY Eliza joins Harriet, Sojourner, Fannie Lou, Shirley, and Barbara as they dance in jubilation. And I'm dancing too. #MadamVicePresident #BlackWomenLeadVP
- Reality for Black women: no matter your experience or qualifications, you continually have to prove why you have a seat at the table. 1/
- So I'm clear: this man cares about a supposed humanitarian crisis at the border, but not the real humanitarian crisis created by 800,000 Americans not receiving their paychecks and not being able to pay rent, buy groceries, and care for their kids. Oh, ok. #TrumpAddress
- Now there's a book title: But, White.Jared Kushner is traveling with the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Iraq. He literally has no experience that qualifies him to do such. But, white.
- Replying to @LeahDaughtryI was the Chief of Staff of a Party that once housed Bull Connor. And I CEO'd two national Party nominating conventions ... an institution that once refused to seat Fannie Lou Hamer.
- Dear Democratic (and other) politicians and operatives, When you say the Party needs to open its doors to include working people, know you are being dismissive. Black folks work and we are IN the Party. Say who you mean.
- Mayor @PeteButtigieg gets major points for ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. #CNNTownHalls #ButtigiegTownHall
