Here's the story of âthe most famous argumentâ in reality-TV history.
Via @MeredithBlake https://t.co/ptNe27oIxe
In 1992, during the first season of âThe Real World," cast members Kevin Powell and Julie Gentry got into a heated argument about racism and white privilege.
It became an iconic moment. Here's why
Some of his roommates â and many viewers at the time â accused him of being overly confrontational.
But viewed in 2021, the era of Black Lives Matter, Powellâs words seem more prescient than anything.
The original â7 strangersâ returned to the old loft to film âThe Real World: Homecoming."
The new reunion wasn't all happy.

So youâre asking if I actually can explain how the new Georgia voting law discourages voting, especially in minority & lower income communities and sets up ways for the legislature and exec branch to tamper with elections the way President Trump tried? Okay, if you insist.
1/17
âThe most dangerous part of the Georgia voting law is that it removes from the State Election Board the vote of the Secretary of Stateâeven though under Georgia Constitution, the Scty of State oversees elections. It also puts the board under the control of the legislature. 2/17
And the election board can suspend and replace any local election official basically anytime they want, for just about any reasonâlike having an honest election. 3/17
If that had been the law in November, a state board controlled by the Republican legislature would have been able to do exactly what President Trump illegally wantedâfiring election officials in counties, like Clayton, Dekalb and Fulton, that voted big for Biden... 4/17
...And then sending in carpetbaggers to declare fraud where there was none, and fraudulently throw out thousands of African-American votes.

I can read just fine, can you honestly speak on Georgia's election law? https://t.co/rJDx01GGkC

The problem lies with "self-governed people" who'd rather be entertained than educated, or competently led.
Details/competency are boring, and expertise causes people to feel ignorant. So they choose reality TV stars over competent leaders, or actual mental health professionals.

Thank you. This is what happens when the press (all do this) serves some other interest than the public. A self-governing people should not tolerate this, or we get Donald Trump. https://t.co/UKfjcAypYE

There's an interplay between "collective narcissism" & "American Exceptionalism" that creates resistance to learning. Learning requires voluntary intellectual subordination: an admission the "teacher" knows more than you. This triggers our narcissistic sense of exceptionalism..1/ https://t.co/DrmW7AXB6l
