Charlotte Clymer 🏳️‍🌈 on Twitter: "Tom Cotton issuing a public statement claiming slavery was a "necessary evil" is exactly why The 1619 Project is so important, why our votes are so important -- because white supremacy, in all its genocide and other horrors, is excused away as "necessary"."

  the "necessary evil" is from Common Sense: "Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil." but it's obviously not being using in the same manner as Paine used it.

  As I've said elsewhere, Tom Cotton embodies every reason I couldn't leave Arkansas fast enough after college -- and if I hadn't had struggles, I wouldn't have HAD to come back there for school!

  For those wondering how Tom Cotton came to understand slavery as a "necessary evil" it was the general view of the South and its slaveholders before 1830. After that, they argued it was a "positive good." #twitterstorians https://dukespace.lib.duke.edu/dspace/bitstream/handle/10161/17544/Grynaviski%20and%20Munger%20SPP%202017%20Final.pdf?sequence=2 … https://twitter.com/ChrisMegerian/status/1287460746268377093 …
