He's got 496,000 followers on Twitter; that's not a chopped liver "influencer". The bright-young-thing undergrad blogger all grownup now and with his own money from being bought out at his startup and writing successful books, going to speak his mind... seemed like only yesterday....

In reply to well the lefty bubble doesn't

Jilani argues that racial support groups are not allowed

You want to demand what BLM is supposed to protest

You want to determine who is Black and who is not Black

You want control just as much as you claim the Woke want control

If a group on the Left is not comfortable with a Black guy, seems like normal Democrats grumbling

There were people who wanted to tell Obama how to be Black

I will take the rumblings of the Woke/Left over your bubble-based dictatorship any day of the week.

Julani argues that pressure

In reply to Personally I don't care what

Julani argues that pressure is being applied for a Senate seat

Nothing surprising

He seems horrified that groups composed of ethnic minorities are involved

There are white candidates with their own groups of supporters that go unaddressed

It seems that the only way to correct the situation is to choose a white candidate

Otherwise, it is identity politics
