1/This is the root of America’s deepest problem. It robs others of their experience & it ignores history. The idea that “we are fine” and rabble rousers are stirring it up. We are not fine. @SharylAttkisson you're an investigative journalist let’s investigate your theory.https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson/status/1033868041224900608 …

2/ Let’s start with something that hits close to home for everyone. Student Debt. The American Dream is based around education, but if ppl can’t afford it, how do you advance?http://bit.ly/2BXpTNi

4/Your tweet mentions "get out the biggest cities." I think you are alluding to race, not sure, if so, I’d say race is an issue all over the country, but let’s go with you idea that outside big cities ppl get along. Here’s a story you might want to read:https://reut.rs/2BWsFlU

6/ Let me back away from race tho, I’m sure your tweet was for a largely white audience who wants to be assured that things are okay and they can’t really deal with race. So let’s talk about what they can deal with?

Replying to @Al_Letson @reveal
Al-- if you see everything as being about race and how "white" people can't deal with it -- which is itself racist -- we probably can't have a real dialog. I don't tend to engage with people who make racial comments.

American People of Color "see everything as being about race" because White America has never ever ever ever let them forget about it. Come on Sharyl, don't pretend like you don't understand this.

Something only a white person w/ excess privilege could snap back w/ w/o thinking. You may have thought it was fiction or never seen the title but try picking up Black Like Me if you can't grasp that there are two distinct Americas. Also, racism=power -- it doesn't reverse
