RT @Malinowski: Unlike 3 of the "Democrat Congresswomen" Trump attacked today, I was actually born outside the US. Does he think I should go back? This is exactly the sort of rhetoric that inspires disturbed people to violence, against Jews, Muslims, Sikhs - anyone they see as the "other."

RT @houstoninst: The Stuart case affected generations of Black Bostonians. A murderer exploited Boston's racism, and that of our media, preying on the worst stereotypes in a deeply unequal city & deputizing law enforcement to unleash a wave of terror in Black communities. https://t.co/MOPd4pqGbo

RT @houstoninst: Instead of using Horton as a substitute for a direct critique of racist media coverage of the legal system, let's recall another local figure: Charles Stuart, a white man who killed his pregnant wife & falsely accused a Black man of the crime. https://t.co/Ghwh9dvwxs

RT @houstoninst: As Horton said in @thenation years ago, he never went by "Willie" "It was created to play on racial stereotypes: big, ugly, dumb, violent, black — 'Willie'. I resent that. They created a fictional character — who seemed believable, but who did not exist." https://t.co/lLJhqK5emi

RT @houstoninst: The Horton ad played on racist fears, creating an indelible archetype of a "dangerous criminal": a Black man accused of raping a white woman. To invoke Horton without directly confronting the racism of the Globe's coverage risks repeating the old dog whistle.

RT @houstoninst: "Willie Horton" is commonly invoked to call out baseless "public safety" fears, rooted in racism, that insist on preserving the status quo. We've done it ourselves. Let's pivot to challenging damaging narratives directly w/out reifying racist falsehoods. https://t.co/Cr3CDpuy9O

RT @houstoninst: Our own David Harris signed this letter, which levels necessary critiques against the @BostonGlobe's recent news & editorial coverage of @DARollins. But, we'll say explicitly what the letter omits. As is inherent to "public safety" fear-mongering, that coverage has been racist. https://t.co/4cV0B8QCrC
