      Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum asserts that President Trump and fellow Republicans are providing "cover" for extremists to conduct political violence. https://nbcnews.to/2Q7venR

      Gillium is very good at it but also an anti-racist message carries more weight from a POC. I thought that was a problem Hillary Clinton had in 2016

          also the fact that she is a robot incapable of replicating or understanding human emotion didn’t help

          This is true but also a huge advance from 2008 where Obama felt he had to avoid anti-racist messages because he was a POC.

          In fairness, in 2008 the climate was very different, so it’s hard to compare. The GOP was not yet openly boasting about being the KKK.

          Her message, verbatim, was the “we” can all admit we feel nervous when we see a young African American man in a hoody and she claimed young men of color were “super predators” while her husband instituted mass incarceration, so, yeah

          Gillium is really good but it think that's just his skill. I think its harder to do anti racism as a POC because we are better at dismissing their views. Mitchell Landrieu , ex mayor of New Orleans is pretty good too, just don't use Hillary as a benchmark.

          So you’re saying that as a black man, in America today, he has an advantage? Am I reading that right? Seems like a dumb thing to say.

          Whereas,for racists, a racist like Donald Trump was a much better standard bearer for racism in 2016 than McCain or Romney has been in ‘08 and ‘12.

          Yes, from a white candidate, it is dismissed as "virtue signaling."

          It wasn’t the only problem but it was certainly one of the most costly ones.
