Well that’s not the same as the “equal power” you claimed in the Tweet I originally responded to. Words matter as does clear communication.

I think you would have preferred that I say, "black representatives" instead of "black people" I get the difference, but I also think my original point can be inferred from the wording.

I don’t have a preference. And no, your meaning can’t be inferred because what you said originally is not what you’re saying now. And it’s “Black”. Thanks

Ok. What I meant was that it is great the Democratic party has Black people in power and that the # of Black people in power, alongside Latino & Jewish people, makes the coalition different. I'm not sure what else to say.

You could say that you misspoke when you said “equal power”...

But I meant equal power as reps in the government. That's not wrong.

I even clarified in the thread. All I am saying is that black people have more power in this party than in other Western democracies. That's just true.https://twitter.com/magi_jay/status/1295565597783228416 …

You’re basing that observation on representation not actual power.

It would probably be helpful here if you defined power as you see it.

The more important definition here would seem to be equal but I don’t have to define it because as he finally realized what I said initially was correct. You all probably also think that because Oprah is a billionaire, the racial wealth gap doesn’t exist either, huh? Smh
