"Bigotry was written into our founding documents. Native Americans in our Declaration of Independence were referred to as “savages” & in our Constitution, Black people are fractions of human beings. White supremacy has always been a problem in our American story..." @CoryBookerpic.twitter.com/gy8pUvHyhr

"...Racist violence has always been part of the American story. Never more so than in times of transition & times of rapid social change... To say this, is to speak the truth plainly. Because without truth, there can be no reconciliation." - @CoryBooker at Emanuel AME Churchpic.twitter.com/Ek9c076L8G

"To ignore hate is to empower it. It is to fall back on that easy false virtue of tolerance. To proudly claim that we are a nation of tolerance is no great aspiration." @CoryBookerpic.twitter.com/FaQg9IZ8kh

"We are not called to tolerate injustice; we are called to combat it. We are not called to tolerate each other; we are called to love one another. We must acknowledge/that as much as white supremacy manifests itself/it is perpetuated by/a dangerous tolerance/in our society."pic.twitter.com/v9NOtbeTyY

"...it hurts the very people it even claims to represent...political leaders/promise to “build the wall” while not building hospitals, schools, or infrastructure... {or talking about} the “invasion” of immigrants while allowing/opioids to invade communities..." @CoryBooker at AMEpic.twitter.com/8B0YzpeY0m

"It creates a dangerous delusion/that we don’t have to care about those others/they should express their gratitude simply to be here; an idea that some Americans can even be a threat to other Americans just by existing, when in reality/we share a common purpose..." @CoryBookerpic.twitter.com/GbEhEZHMdZ

"...weaponizing hatred can be effective. Islamophobia/anti-Semitism/homophobia/xenophobia/misogyny. These tactics aren't a new perversion...they've been ingrained/since our founding...Politicians have used fear of the other for political gain & that's the case today." @CoryBookerpic.twitter.com/zUGKW1LUVT

"Hate crimes in America are increasing. Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are on the rise. The majority of terrorist attacks in this country since 9/11 have been perpetrated by right-wing extremists here at home, and the majority of those have been white supremacists." - @CoryBookerpic.twitter.com/3P5dboN44W

"...the real question isn't who is/isn't a racist, but who is & isn't doing something about it... It’s not enough to say I’m not a racist. We must be anti-racism. There is no neutrality in this fight. You are either an agent of justice or you are contributing to the problem."pic.twitter.com/BatA84yl3P

"Dr. King once said, 'It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me...' And we can act to legislate safety even if we cannot legislate love. We must act to prevent people who should not have guns from getting them." - @CoryBookerpic.twitter.com/hgfknIwok2
