Remember, black people have the right to criticize John Lewis or any other black political figure however we want. It’s not your place, Karen, to intervene in our political analysis.
I have deep respect for John Lewis and the blood he shed in the fight for civil rights. However, I think his recent political instincts have been very harmful towards us. We’re in times where we need the John Lewis of the 60s. MLK warned us of the white moderate. You were there.
If I ever move away from my principles, I want you guys to hang me where I stand. I’m in this fight for revolutionary change, not reform. We deserve better.
