Racist abuse is wrong. If we’re holding candidates responsible for hateful speech they’ve repeatedly disavowed, all I ask is that that standard be evenly applied.
I’ve never seen the candidates this man (& many other racist liberals) support be asked to atone 4 similar remarks.

At least one signatory of that letter defended a popular twitter user after he called me a “negro bedwench,” arguing basically that I had brought it on myself by writing about the role of class in racial coalition building. It’s disappointing to say the least.
I can’t imagine holding Senator Harris responsible for this guy’s racism. One has to ask the question: why is Bernie— who has actively worked against racism since founded his CORE chapter as a college student — being uniquely singled out here?
