      Speaking at John Lewis' funeral, Bill Clinton disses civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael (later Kwame Ture): "There were two or three years there where the movement went a little bit too far towards Stokely. But in the end, John Lewis prevailed." pic.twitter.com/5uc6eZtFUQ

      Are you suggesting that Black Lives Matter has a narrow cultural nationalist politics? Or that Clinton misunderstands their politics?

      Yeah, I think the guy who executed Ricky Ray Rector and demonized Sista Souljah has bad racial politics.

      And that makes Kwame Toure’s politics good, and better than Lewis’ politics, simply because Clnton criticized Toure?

      It's not Bill Clinton's job to tone police internal black debates -- although he thinks it is. And bringing up Toure (and giving him the slave name Carmichael) when it wasn't necessary was clearly an intervention in current debates.

          All well and good, but it seems to me you are doing your own adjudication, in which case you have an obligation to get it right. Toure’s politics were cultural nationalist, and the suggestion — wherever it originates — that they match BLM should be questioned.

          It's not Toure's cultural nationalism that Clinton was objecting to -- it was excessive radicalism, too much boat rocking. Which is a fear that centrists like Clinton have of Sista Souljah in the 1990s and BLM now.

          How is that debate "internal"?

          But it's Jeet Heer's job to put out lists of approved Jews that deserve to be listened to.
