I hate to tell people this but there is empirical evidence of different outcomes for immigrant black people versus native born black folk. I don't know who is saying what but it is disingenuous to suggest this isn't true.
Whether black voters should care is one thing. That there is something to perhaps care about is another. People aren't wholesale crazy for debating Kamala's racial solidarity anymore than they debate it with any other candidate.
What I am not going to let people do is pretend that black voters are stupid or wrong for doing what people surely do to us, which is question our bona fides.
And, lord, I cannot believe I feel the need to do this. Pray for me.
I don't anything about Tariq whoever but I do know black people aren't stupid. Asking what kind of black are you is really a question of what kind of black have white ppl allowed you to be at our expense.
It is effed up but matters as much as anything does in celebrity politics. It's about creating authenticity myths and popularity. Black people aren't the problem.
