This is true. People were prejudiced, of course, but the concept of racism specifically, as opposed to ethnic tribalism, is comparatively modern. Don’t forget there were white slaves and black emperors of Rome, etc. Skin color is a modern obsession.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician.
