@St_Rev Ahhh, okay; I see -
@blue_traveler Crucial point: https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/537645088147795969 … We don't know how to "fix" racism; this *enables* nutty, destructive 'activism'. -
@blue_traveler The apparent urgency and emotional investment is inversely proportional to the reality of the solutions. -
@St_Rev this last seems to describe a different, similarly confounding problem -
@blue_traveler It's the same issue in my head, but communication is imperfect. Lots of RTs for https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/537644895637618688 … w/o the followups. -
@blue_traveler But the followup tweets are the actual point! Without them, the first tweet is just vacant reactionary bitching. -
@St_Rev I wouldn't have necessarily said point A is reactionary; & I think there's a format incentive to retweet the first part of a string -
@blue_traveler Maybe. I hope people are reading the whole string. - 1 more reply
