12. opinion matters not...

"But my opinion is...highly offensive..."
"I think she's always dated white guys..." (but you don't know for a fact)

"I think now she's lecturing me..." (no, she gave an interview which you read)

"I'm sorry my opinion is making you ... upset... but I'm entitled"

No one can tell anyone who is and is not "black enough." Being affluent does not erase anyone's blackness. This nation still believes in the one drop fallacy, and it shows. Polite, well dressed, wealthy racism is still racism.


It's *exactly* what the right is trying to do with Kamala Harris--not "genuine" enough, not one of "us."

sigh...
