Rhode Island state Rep. Patricia Morgan said she’s saddened that her friendship with a Black woman ended over critical race theory.  

Morgan spoke to BNC’s Michelle Fisher on Wednesday about the end of her friendship and the blowback she received after she shared the tweet.  

“I’m actually sad that my friend is cold toward me,” Morgan said. “I always really enjoyed her, I admire her, I think she’s smart, she’s funny and strong. She’s all good things.”  

She claimed in the viral tweet that she didn’t do anything to her friend but “be white.”

“I had a black friend. I liked her and I think she liked me, too. But now she is hostile and unpleasant. I am sure I didn’t do anything to her, except be white,” Morgan wrote on Tuesday. “Is that what teachers and our political leaders really want for our society? Divide us because of our skin color?”  

The state representative said that critical race theory isn’t being taught in schools like a traditional subject, but being woven into different subject matters and discussions that kids are having in their classrooms.

“There’s a lot of race shaming, race blaming. I think we’re losing racial stereotypes in classrooms; we’re allowing racial slurs…in classrooms,” Morgan said.  

Morgan co-sponsored legislation that would scale back how educators taught about race in American history, BNC reported.  

The Black Lives Matter Rhode Island PAC is calling for Morgan to be removed from committees she’s serving on, according to the Washington Post.  

Critical race theory is an intellectual movement and a framework of legal analysis according to which race is a culturally invented category used to oppress people of color, and the law and legal institutions in the U.S. are inherently racist as they function to create and maintain social, political and economic inequalities between white and nonwhite people, according to Brittanica.     

Republican politicians around the country have passed legislation or are attempting to pass bills that would ban CRT from being taught in schools.  

Morgan denies that the tweet was tone-deaf and hopes her friend doesn’t know the tweet is about her, claiming she has more than one Black friend.  

“It should make all of us sad when you lose a friend because your race is the wrong race,” Morgan said. “That’s not where we want America to go.”
