Is this tweet ridiculous?

Any number of reasons for which her friend may have become annoyed at her that she's clueless about. She should probably ask her friend what's up before tweeting something like that.

LOL

It's amazingly easy to lie on twitter, let's keep that in mind.

“I had a black friend”

[GeorgiaModerate]

For any tweet chosen at random, the odds are pretty good that the answer will be yes.

If you only had "a" black friend, you probably answered your own question why that friend doesn't like you anymore.

It’s from my local politician


Anyhow:

LOL.
What the hell is that?

 George's tweet is exactly right. Anti-CRT hysteria is just nonsense that wants to lie about American history or worse teach outright white supremacist nonsense like "The Lost Cause".

[Diabolical Materialism]

Pretty dope behavior I'm going to start emulating.

"Has this person distanced themselves from me because of my toxic personality and self destructive behavior? No it can't be. Must be the result of our different interpretations of American history."

[DaleCooper]

It's an embarrassing statement, and it's a shame too because she ruined a great opportunity to bring up a real issue that has nothing to do with race. "Ghosting" is an extremely common phenomenon these days and it is pathetic and spineless, and it's a sign of the lack of humanity many people have these days.

[Joseph Cao]

Notwithstanding the irony of this being one of those Attack This Random State Legislator threads I was assured didn't exist, and the random state legislator in question posting this on Twitter to score political points/display her very warped priorities, probably both, instead of settling this like a healthy, functioning adult with the friend in question…

Is there any evidence that those against CRT want history teachers to stop teaching about internment camps or is this just Takei with his usual Irrelevant Attack angle?

Enlighten me further about what these obviously malicious folks think, please, if you know so much about their mindset.

“I have a black friend” was all I needed to read

[RC]

Yes because it's race-based. If she just said "I had a friend and she turned into a b*tch" then yeah that's totally fine. The race thing was wholly uneccessary.

[Ferguson97]

The racial aspect was essential to the (stupid) point she was attempting to make though.

     As Dale Cooper mentioned in another thread, the history was already being taught and nobody complained. The issues that people are having is with the implications that are being drawn by many on the left about what people today should do about that history. Implying that people are legitimately against teaching that the Japanese internment happened is just a baseless aspersion cast for the sake of winning digital brownie points.

A racially charged tweet by Rep. Patricia Morgan Tuesday has inflamed social media, with Black Lives Matter Rhode Island calling on the speaker of the House to strip Morgan of her committee appointments. 

....
CRT refers to critical race theory, a largely academic topic taught at the university level that holds that the impact of slavery continues to reverberate today, with implications for the courts, the criminal justice system and public education.

Morgan, the former minority leader of the Rhode Island House, unsuccessfully sponsored a bill this spring that would restrict the way schools teach the role of race in American history, a move that provoked heated criticism from educators, parents and other Rhode Islanders.

If you only had "a" black friend, you probably answered your own question why that friend doesn't like you anymore.

Saw this take on twitter a lot but saying “a” doesn’t mean there’s only one. How else are you supposed to talk about one person?

[Green Line]

In trouble with who, George Takei - a prolific partisan D tweeter?  I'm sure she's very concerned.

Her wording implies a drop from 1 to 0. Maybe she didn't mean it literally, but she should be careful with her words.

For starters, it’d probably help if she talked about them as if they were a real person instead of some vague avatar for her white grievances.
