The second a black man asks basic questions about her article and points, holes get poked through her story and her viewpoints.
If she was NOT mentioning black men and somehow making it sound like we had sympathy for this cac Kavanaugh..
If she was NOT willing to write headlines that threw us under the bus...
She wouldn’t have a job at the Atlantic.
People are saying “nobody read the article, in the article she actually doesn’t sound so bad”
We live in a headline world. 100% of all people who read the headline WON’T necessarily read the article.
All those who don’t will still see us sympathizing somehow with of all people Brett Kavanaugh.
Simply said: she knows what she did is wrong, she also thought if she just made this about how black men are disproportionately falsely accused we’d be cool with it.
Nah sis. No black person with good intentions would EVER write that because they know how it would be perceived.
They’d be EXTRA careful when connecting black men to Brett Kavanaugh ESPECIALLY because we are falsely accused more.
“5 falsely accused black men speak up: on being proportionately falsely accused more than white men, and on the Kavanaugh situation” would’ve been still weird, but better.
We were on the fence about her, but she is more Whitlock than anything.
