I'm So Disappointed with Schumer and Jeffries. They Don't Agree with Me 100%.

151. I know

Fair enough. It was somewhat tongue in cheek - what's good for the goose...etc. Probably ill advised. Mea culpa.

The attacks on Jeffries reflect a common blind spot: religion in the African American community has not played the same political role as religion in white America. Historically, Black churches have been centers of resistance, mutual aid, organizing, and moral challenge to power, not vehicles for enforcing hierarchy. Conflating all religious language with political reaction is an ahistorical mistake, and white liberals in particular often miss that.

I think we agree more than we disagree on the need for factual criticism. My concern is less about individual votes and more about the strategic and moral lines leadership is willing—or unwilling—to draw. That’s where I think the real disagreement lies.
