Get away with saying things? People say things all the time. You’re getting away with saying some real dumb shit right now. Things were actually DONE to black and brown folks for a long time. You wanna police what they can SAY about it? You’re obviously trying to keep them in a certain position. The opposition to their ideas continues to say things and do things to oppress them. You included.

Weird hill to die on. ‘If we stop oppressing people they might try to oppress us like we did to them for several hundred years’ is pretty weak. That’s not a real concern that is comparable to any real issue at hand. Killmonger was a fictional character.

I don’t get this logic. The issue at hand is basically whether or not to teach kids that racism happened. It did happen a few times here and there in the past few hundred years. Pretty undeniable. To be afraid that extremists would take over the curriculum makes sense but the only threat in this situation is the white ones. They’re the ones actually proposing an alternate history in classrooms.
