OK, yadda yadda yadda, we don’t normally cover Twitter randos unless their takes are just so hot that they need to be examined. We take you back to September 2020, when liberals were beginning to question Amy Coney Barrett’s adoption of two Haitian children during her confirmation hearings. A month later, the New York Times decided to do a “deep dive” into Barrett’s adoptions, writing that “Detractors have criticized as ‘white saviorism’ the judge’s public accounts of her children’s dire situations before they left Haiti.” Among those detractors was Mr. Anti-Racist himself, Ibram X. Kendi:
Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity. https://t.co/XBE9rRnoqq

And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point. It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can't be racist.

“Whether this is Barrett is not the point,” he said, only bringing it up in the context of Barrett’s confirmation hearings.
We’ve heard a lot about abortion today thanks to the House Judiciary Committee, but we didn’t hear that “abortion is an act of love.” Why didn’t they put this woman on the stand? (We feel safe calling her a woman since her pronouns are she/they.)
Oops, she went private while we were writing this post, so here’s a screenshot. Sorry it’s so tiny, but we wanted to prove it was real.
Update: Here’s a better screenshot:
Nice.
The sickness on display here is tragic.

Moloch worship is alive and well.

Imagine tweeting this and thinking you’re the good guy

With extremely rare exceptions, it's an act of evil. Period.

There is absolutely not one shred of “love” in anything you just said. It is filled with intolerance, racism, personality disorder, and hatred of God and His law and creation.

Sickening

Just when I think I have seen the most evil thing imaginable, Twitter proves me wrong. Dear God, I can’t even begin to wrap my head around the depravity and delusion that lives within you.

We heard some seriously horrific takes today, but this is just off the charts.
