The problem was, in fact, what he said. He& #39;s gaffe prone and Trump said something worse, fine––that& #39;s to be expected. What& #39;s more disturbing is this acceptance of the idea that an ethnic identity *must be wed* to a specific politics. What other ethnic group is policed like this? https://twitter.com/jemelehill/status/1263871146258100229">https://twitter.com/jemelehil...

We all want Trump out of office. But I suspect that even after his eventual removal, many, many people will still be insisting on (or willing to accept) the idea that there really is a certain politics and set of views to hold or else #YouAintBlack.

I’m also amazed that commentators like Jemele Hill don’t see how this is the exact same logic many Trump-voting whites employ, wedding their politics to an ethnic identity at any cost.

You can’t hold on to political “blackness” and advocate an end to political “whiteness”
