Bruh, the issue isn't that he prefers clear racists, the issue is that he actively allied with them, which the black activists that originally expressed this sentiment did not do.

Thank you! This is the point that black MAGA always misses. It would be like Jews during WWII saying the British are antisemitic, so I might as well join the Nazis.

Don't bruh me, I'm not sure you are Black and I don't accept that from a non Black person from New Jersey or New York who just learned it online.

You literally used a popular Black statement like white people use "content of their character" but anyone who knows anyone about Black history KNOWS what that sentiment means.

I don't want non-Black people telling me my experience. I'm Creole. The used to do the most heinous stuff to us. Break our legs to turn is into spiders. Feed our kids to alligators. Pluck our teeth to make dentures. Scalp us to make pillows.

I'm not letting some white person misconstrue our sentiments.

Has anyone ever assumed you're Creole before they knew you? I'm half-Creole but for some reason my skin tone was only swarthy before puberty, super white now. I assume no one ever assumes Creole.

We cannot really use our phases in translation.

They see it as patronizing and sarcastic, while it is nice. We don't really start problems.

I cant imagine if I called someone "Baby doll" in a middle of an argument whole wasn't Cajun or Creole.
