Mike Pence is winning decisively. Kamala Harris comes across as condescending, bitter, and angry.

[#NeuroRacism | Eugenics 🧵]
What we hope to show today is that there are real consequences to this racist way of pursuing science. This is more than just an academic debate.
There is, perhaps, no better example than the eugenics movements of the 20th century.
ALT Old propaganda saying, “Some people are born to be a burden on the rest. Every 17 seconds a person is born in the United States. Every 7 minutes a high-grade person is born in the United States who will have the ability to do creative work and be fit for leadership. About 4% of all Americans come within this class.”

Why do women have their own categories, why do immigrants need to be highlighted and why do BIPOC need allies?
