THREAD:

I'm doing a new video series called "NOT RACIST"

Where I take issues & phenomena the MSM says are RACIST 😱

& use LOGIC, FACTS, & RECEIPTS to prove they're not.

Genuine racism absolutely exists & we should eradicate it.

But if EVERYTHING is racist, nothing is racist.
"NOT RACIST"
PART 1 - "BIRTHERISM"

If “Birtherism” is so RACIST & ppl only questioned Obama’s birthplace bc of the color of his skin...

Why was Jesse Jackson’s birthplace never questioned when he ran for pres? 🤔

What about when the same accusations were put against white ppl?
"NOT RACIST"
PART 2 - "THE TRUMP/CENTRAL PARK FIVE NARRATIVE LIE"

@realDonaldTrump NEVER called for the execution of the #CP5🤷🏾‍♂️

Don't believe me? That's fine.
It's in the @nytimes.
I've pulled up the receipts.

If Trump wanted Blk men in jail so bad, why did he let so many out?
NOT RACIST PT 3 - "TRUMP & THE GOOD PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES LIE"

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry & violence
It has no place in America."

"The neo-nazis & white nationalists should be condemned totally." https://twitter.com/realbenjiirby/status/1239334174022086657?s=21
"NOT RACIST"
PT 4 - "THE TRUMP DON'T RENT TO BLACK PPL #FAKENEWS NARRATIVE"

If the DOJ had all this evidence they said they had of bias why wasn't it shown in court?

This "evidence" would have proven Trump guilty.

Instead after 2yrs Trumps settled w no admission of wrongdoing.
IN CONCLUSION:
I didn't do this "NOT RACIST" video series to make @realDonaldTrump look good.

It's actually much bigger than Trump.

Republican presidents are ALWAYS cast as racists by Democrats/media.

What this does is rob Black ppl of our power of political choice & leverage.
In a 2-party system, the only way for voters to keep parties in check is with the possibility of voting for the other party.

In the case of Black ppl, we don't have a choice bc the other party is "racist."

Leaving us taken for granted by Democrats and ignored by Republicans.
My thinking is that if I can show evidence of how the current Republican president isn't the racist monster the Democrats/media have lied and said he is...

It's can open up a mind or two, shifting the political landscape, thus giving us some leverage.
I very much resent the fact that every 2-4yrs Black ppls political conversation isn't about healthcare, school choice, taxes, oh no...

Our political conversation consistently revolves around the elementary concept of who is less/more racist than the other.

Really tired of this.
I don't want or expect for every Black person to become or consistently vote Republican.

That would give us the inverse of the current problem.

I'd be good w a 25/75 or 35/65 split.

That'd make us quite the hot commodity politically & fix most of the overall issues we have. 🇺🇸
