Wait. The director of the Mississippi Development Authority is saying this. In public. On Twitter. https://twitter.com/glennmccjr/status/760718646121492480 …

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.

In NOLA there's a passage that only a handful of captains are permitted to navigate. Every freighter through has one
@aurabogado@GlennMcCJr -
Every barge MUST have one if these 5-6 "authorized" captains in their bridge to navigate the channel in NOLA
@aurabogado@GlennMcCJr -
These "authorized" captains got paid like $180,000 - and all of them were related. Father/son/brother/cousin
@aurabogado@GlennMcCJr -
Nepotism & white opportunity hoarding in the extreme

He forgot to mention how many slaves each millionaire owned.

I'm literally sitting here with my mouth open. His tweet reads like something a cartoon villain would say.
