As the executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority, you're in charge of, what, 300 people,
@GlennMcCJr? -
Do you preference some of your employees over others,
@GlennMcCJr? Do you preference *certain* business contacts over others? -
Because, just looking through the images on your feed,
@GlennMcCJr, you sure do seem to be making lots of deals with lots of white folk. -
Oh you thought we didn't have receipts,
@GlennMcCJr? Here. This is why I'm tweeting you.pic.twitter.com/dPxmL4YOof

Like you wanna celebrate the millionaire SLAVE OWNERSHIP on the occasion of Natchez's birthday? You serious??
@GlennMcCJr -
It's bad enough for anyone to tweet something like this. But you,
@GlennMcCJr? You're a pretty powerful dude in Mississippi. -
Your whole job is about economic development in the South. And here you celebrating the economic development of slave owning.
@GlennMcCJr -
Apologize,
@GlennMcCJr. Not a "I'm sorry your feelings are hurt" thing. But an actual apology to black people. -
While you're at it, since you work on economic development, start working on reparations.
@GlennMcCJr -
If Natchez had so much $ before big bad Civil War took it all away, what happened to it? Hire black researchers to tell you.

right? The fact that the U.S. gave "free" land to Euro immigrants had nothing to do with wealth building or genocide.
