Every time he says something especially bigoted, juvenile, or stupid that catches me by surprise, I have to remind myself that before he changed his name, I used to think of him as just another right-winger cosplaying as a moderate. After the name change he started pushing DNC line so regularly that it took me a while to remember that his values and demeanor are further to the right than the politicians he supports.
His weird segue into xenophobia doesn't even make sense. Like, when did Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush come out as immigrants?
So you can leave?
Trying to be like you my good Nigerian brother
Jokes aside, I usually find folks with this line of logic attempting to make Israel/Palestinian affairs a part of the black civil rights movement to be immigrants.
This take is so fukking bad and, as usual by you, supported by literally nothing.
Let's not forget W.E.B. DuBois (later in life), Paul Robeson, James Lawson, Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis, Alice Walker, and Andrew Young. You can even count pro-Zionists like A. Phillip Randolph and Bayard Rustin - while they may not have been pro-Palestine, at least they agreed that human rights issues outside of the USA are deeply important too and engaged with them as part of the movement.
The crazy shyt is that we're talking about the same person who talks so self-righteously about how we have to stand up for the Ukrainian people. So foreign wars and international human rights suddenly become important when a US enemy is doing the killing, but not when a US ally is responsible? There isn't the slightest moral or ethical weight backing his position, it's just political posturing.
"Who gives a fukk about James Baldwin or Malcom X, the Panthers are playing next Sunday and my white boss just gave me a raise. Yeah yeah the racial wealth gap is expanding, but I just got 72 month term and 0-down for a Model Y Tesla at only 1.99% APR! No I haven't revisited Toni Morrison's work since they made us read Beloved in high school lit, but Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was my favorite movie of the past 10 years! Why should I give a fukk about my government using my tax money to bomb schools and refugee camps full of 8 year old Palestinian boys and girls, what have those children ever done for me! The only reason I would need to look at a map is to figure out where I'm taking my next vacation!"
You hit almost every aspect of his life right to its core. Just need to add video games and an expense photography habit and you'd pretty much have his bio.
