If my suspicion is right and people are literally pressuring folks to revoke people from events then we are in a very very sad place indeed. Inclusion also means sharing space with people who have different leanings that us. If you think otherwise, then im sorry but naa

I have personally met Charles. I won't say we are friends, but if I saw him id say hello. I don't think we share the same political beliefs and honestly, I don't care if we did or did not. If I had to consider his political or religious beliefs then, that would make me a bigot

I have been interviewed by him and he gave me my first ever Conf shot at the Remote Conf in 2014 or 2015 (Not Sure). Mind you at the time I had never met him and did not until 2017 I believe.

You might ask why I am writing this. I am taking a stance against people being bullied for how they chose to see the world. I am taking a stance against people being judged for their political affiliations.

Its high time people came out at spoke out. If we don't do that, then we are no better. What is wrong is wrong, and what is right is right. This keeps happening on twitter and if we don't come to the table and get to some safe place, then I fear for the future of our community

I have spoken out and I welcome anyone who thinks I might be wrong to engage. One thing is clear, what we are doing to people is just wrong and it must be called out as I have done

People like Kim are embarrassing to us black people, I don't like her to represent us in tech. She seems to be perpetually angry.
