    It can't be emphasized enough that the Sister Souljah moment rested on Clinton cynically misrepresenting Souljah. Yet people like Brett Stephens celebrate it as a moment of candor.https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1109455500805066753 …

    Just imagine the kind of bad faith it would take to characterize this as a literal endorsement of killing white people rather than the comment on the immorality of gang murderers and white indifference to black death it obviously is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Souljah_moment … pic.twitter.com/rdcbMWpe6H

        I couldn't bear to read it at first, but he describes rejecting AIPAC as being the opposite of courageous, despite it being the clearest parallel so far.

        It should perhaps be celebrated as a moment of cynicism.

        (nods) It ain't even candor. A true moment of candor here would've been to note that Souljah could've best expressed what she tried to say in a rap track. (sighs)

        Deeply disingenuous question. When the totality of the mainstream media and white culture comes down on your head for something you said, your options are apologize or be completely destroyed.

        I have a weird love for Bill Clinton (I have seen him speak, worked on his campaign, voted for him) but the guy shouldn't be presented as perfect. As Gov of Arkansas, he ok'd the execution of a man with an IQ of 77.

        At this point, let's also say any kind of senselessly violent gangsta rap pales in comparison to the gangsta tweet rants of the President of the United States.

        I'm also sick of never-Trumpers pushing the BS claim that "the Democrats are making it reeeeally hard for me to join their party, even with Trump at the helm, and just look how far they've strayed from their reasonable past!" Stephens WASN'T a Democrat in the 90s either!

        "Oh geez, maybe I could join the Democratic Party of 20 years ago (back when I was an even stauncher Republican...), but this new party I dunno."
