As far as I can tell is you want the exact opposite.
You want a world where a Black person, giving lie to a narrative, i.e., Black (Millennials) are feeling the burn, is race-baiting for partisan reasons; but, the campaign and supporter's promotion of the underlying narrative is fact-stating, even though the narrative is, observably, false.
And, you appear to want a world where you can call a Black person making observations a race-baiter and having that Black person just shut up about their observation ... because it doesn't fit the campaign and its supporters partisan narrative.
(I know you cannot respond to this in this thread; but maybe, that's for the better. It will give you an opportunity to read these words and self-reflect, without the burden of having to think up a reply.
If I may, here are some points to reflect upon:
1) Why would Black people react so strongly to having their observations labelled, "race-baiting"?
2) Why would you think that a Black person's observation that a campaign event at a HBCU, within walking distance of 3 other HBCUs, in a majority Black city, was made for partisan purposes?
3) Isn't your arguing against that Black person's observation, in itself, being done for partisan purposes?
