soooo if someone in cuba, who wanted to live at home but wished it was better, complained about his country, would you tell that person to be quiet? https://twitter.com/ArmandoSalguero/status/1299136972074737664?s=20">https://twitter.com/ArmandoSa...
armando, do you know what "amendment" means? https://twitter.com/ArmandoSalguero/status/1299189117952065537">https://twitter.com/ArmandoSa...
you should read up on this thing called the dred scott decision. https://twitter.com/ArmandoSalguero/status/1299182838324121600">https://twitter.com/ArmandoSa...
the idea white people OWNING black people, armando. the fact it wasn& #39;t explicitly outlawed meant it was a right granted by the nation. remember: this was the only country with slavery based on race. THE ONLY ONE.

that& #39;s something most ppl don& #39;t know. https://twitter.com/ArmandoSalguero/status/1299141757846859777">https://twitter.com/ArmandoSa...
all that said, i gotta say i& #39;m surprises as hell to hear tannehill be so explicit. good on him. i& #39;d love to know more about his journey, cuz i know that ain& #39;t popular in big spring or college station.
i don& #39;t want to be #thatguy, but i don& #39;t think people realize what the three-fifths compromise was. it didn& #39;t say we were 3/5ths of a person. that doesn& #39;t have to do with us being people at all. https://twitter.com/RoryRoberge/status/1299399257875722244">https://twitter.com/RoryRober...
the three-fifths compromise said southern states could count three-fifths of the slave population toward the state& #39;s population, for electoral college purposes. it didn& #39;t say we were three-fifths of a person. it said we were a statistic. a function, basically.
that distinction is important for a couple of reasons.

1. dred scott, again, meant black folks had no rights anyone was bound to respect. which is to say, black folks weren& #39;t people.

2. it& #39;s the beginning of white folks making their votes count more than they should.
white folks making their votes count more than they should isn& #39;t discussed enough. yes, we talk about voter suppression and the idea some people don& #39;t get to vote. but what it& #39;s REALLY doing is making white votes into supervotes.
anyway, read all that before you get a load of @ArmandoSalguero telling people who are born here and not moving not to complain about the country. you gotta be f ckin kidding me.
in other news, i played dan& #39;s favorite game on this big suey thing they& #39;re doing. we talked about stuff like *waves hand around* this. #episodeGuid=31978be2-ab4a-11ea-86a4-bf25a1016d2a">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dan-le-batard-show-with-stugotz/id934820588 #episodeGuid=31978be2-ab4a-11ea-86a4-bf25a1016d2a">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...
