I don't know who needs to hear this but: My wife is from a country in Africa and one time I showed her the kente cloth scarf I bought in high school and she took it away and never gave it back and this is the first time I've spoken of it in over 20 years because the shame is deep

Here’s the thing though - that scarf was given to her on a trip to Africa with the CBC so maybe you should look that up.

Hell maybe even write an essay or a tweet storm about it. If I’m wrong, fine, write about that. But seriously- check yourself.

It wasn’t her idea. It was the CBC’s idea. Take it up with them.

The cloth came from the CBC, which we all know at this point. So, either you have an issue w/ the CBC's wishes or you have an issue w/ the fact that Pelosi listened to their wishes. Maybe just say what you mean.

And when you do, suggest an alternative way to signal visually her support for policies which benefit black Americans. How do you teach cultural sensitivity and respect? Not by beating proven allies over the head for trying but failing to meet your ideals.

If the Congressional Black Caucus suggested the idea, then the sooner we get back to the real business of ensuring that everyone can vote the better.
