People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

sand-nwords? What would that be? A slur for the nomads of the Saharra? Bedouines?
This was a derogatory term for middle easterners that cropped up (to my awareness, anyway, and I don't care to go searching around to fact check myself on this point) in the xenophobia following 9/11.
Seems like it would be for anyone brown tbh. Y'no, cause racists think all brown people lve in the desert.
You're going to have to research that on your own. I didn't ask for clarification and I don't care to know what he meant tbh.
