The Good – Twitter deconstructs racism with #WhitenessHistoryMonth

Twitter unknown Jason Chesnut declared March as #WhitenessHistoryMonth.

This March, #WhitenessHistoryMonth will look at systems and institutions that built up and encoded white supremacy in our country.

— Jason Chesnut (@crazypastor) March 1, 2016

Chesnut’s purpose is to unlearn the mores of white privilege throughout American history.

White people! Talking about whiteness in the U.S. is not pissing on our ancestors’ graves. It’s being honest.#WhitenessHistoryMonth

— Jason Chesnut (@crazypastor) March 1, 2016

Being socialized in a white supremacist world doesn’t inherently make you a bad/mean person. How you move thru the world as a result does.

— Great Ace Shark™ (@colocha_rachel) March 1, 2016

Chesnut and his supporters hope to break the stigma of white American history and heal for a better future.

Watching the #WhitenessHistoryMonth project begin, I’m hopeful that #BlackLivesMatter gains energy. Unlearn and learn. Wash, rinse, repeat.

The Bad – Speaker Ryan defends a lesser evil from Trump

Speaker Paul Ryan denounced Donald Trump’s failure to verbally distance himself from white supremacist David Duke.

Unfortunately Ryan’s defense of the GOP was soon countered as Twitter called him on his hypocrisy.

@ajplus HAHAHAHAH Paul Ryan: “This party does not play on people prejudices” HAQHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Since when?!?!?!?!

— Mountain Ops (@Mountain_Ops) March 1, 2016

republicans like paul ryan care about anti-poverty policy the way a drug dealer is super concerned about heroin addiction.

— Oliver Willis (@owillis) March 1, 2016

Paul Ryan is like the dad who yells at the kids in the backseat and threatens to “turn this car around” but then never turns the car around.

— Rex Huppke (@RexHuppke) March 1, 2016

Paul Ryan just said the GOP doesn’t play into people’s prejudices. He said this with a straight face.

— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) March 1, 2016

Needless to say Ryan would have been better off keeping quiet.

The Ugly – Troy Ave misfires with deplorable diss record

When NY rapper Tory Ave heard fellow MC Joey Bada$$ mentioned him on a track, Troy retaliated.

This all started when Troy Ave was calling local NYC underground rappers “weirdos” ..Joey gave him one bar… Troy Ave gave Joey a full song

— Ebro Darden (@oldmanebro) March 1, 2016

Just heard a diss record… #AndNobodyCares.

— God’s Monster (@MrMecc) March 1, 2016

However Troy committed a heinous foul, referencing Joey’s deceased affiliate Capital STEEZ who sadly committed suicide.

…….whooooa.

Troy Ave really said Steez burning in hell.

— L.J | #CrackTheCrown (@K1ngEljay) March 1, 2016

Troy Ave went in for no reason. You don’t speak about someone’s friend who committed suicide.

— Baroline (@Barolinnne) March 1, 2016

troy ave gets no points for dissing a dead guy.. keep the hostility between the 2 rappers and leave the innocent out of it..

— pagic johnson (@realsirflash) March 1, 2016

Twitter proceeded to annihilate Troy Ave for his weak sucker punch and disregard for another human life.

Artist’s that have sold more records than Troy Ave:
MIMS
Hurricane Chris
Roscoe Dash
Lil dude from across the street

— oddCouple (@oddcouplebeats) March 1, 2016

In the end, Joey Badas$$ proved triumphant with a single clapback.

Congratulations, YOU PLAYED YOURSELF.
