Mitch McConnell’s comments suggesting African Americans aren’t fully American wasn’t a Freudian slip — it was a dog whistle. The same one he has blown for years.
@malcolmkenyatta Are you African American? Are you American? What???? You can be both at the same time? Amazing I guess if compare Asian American to Americans we may see a difference How about white Americans to Americans? Or naturalized Americans to Americans? You can compare a subset to the set
@malcolmkenyatta NO dog whistle. McConnell is crystal clear. "In this country, American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate." -Toni Morrison Segregation FOREVAH
@malcolmkenyatta @cryborg It was a f’ing bullhorn! This ww heard him loud and clear and I’m angry, very angry. I can’t imagine how my brothers and sisters of color feel.
@malcolmkenyatta Exactly. They believe *they* are the "real" Americans fighting for "their" America. They don't believe anyone else is fully American.
@malcolmkenyatta I dunno I think it’s just as damning as a Freudian slip
@malcolmkenyatta So… Let’s make known what Kentuckians obviously couldn’t see or their voter base is still deeply entrenched in bigotry to acknowledge. #MitchMustGo Every person of color in the state should be recruited to participants along with local allies.
