@donnabrazile what does that mean, "racial cleansing"?
— Melissa Mackenzie (@MelissaTweets) July 3, 2013
Is this one of those terms like “cracker” that people mistake as a slur when it’s actually a “proud nod” to one’s ancestry? Because whenever we’ve heard about ethnic cleansing in the news, it’s been a very, very bad thing (except for CNN’s own ethnic purge — that was pretty funny). Racial cleansing must mean something entirely different. In this case it means looking out for subtle racial overtones and observing Independence Day by sharing your racial biases.
I clocked in more than 3 hours of the #Zimemrmantrial. #Race on TV w/ Deen, Mandela, #VRA, Affirmative Action plus #Obama-Bush in Africa.

Folks, get ready to celebrate an important milestone next month. 50 years and we still remember the dream, but forgot the message. Agree?

When is the last time you heard, read or saw so many messages with racial bias & subtle overtones? Please pay attention. Wake up everybody!

Lastly, don't forget we had to debate the meaning or context of the #N word. Okay.. What else? Please share your racial bias. #4thofjuly

However the journey works, the destination is the same: color blindness.
Okay. @StarJonesEsq is breaking it down. #diversity around the table. Yes!
