      2. The "erasure" of Bree Newsome I was thinking about was Clinton's statement last night crediting "love" with removal of Confederate flag

      3. But as people rightly point out, in earlier occasions Clinton did praise Newsome's activism: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-confederate-flag-mlk-day_us_569d1a05e4b0778f46fa238a …

      4. So, however problematic Clinton's statement from last night was, I was wrong to say she erased Newsome

      5. I do think there is something tonally off-key about how Clinton talks about activism but I'll save that for a proper essay, not tweets.

          @HeerJeet that's a fair criticism no doubt - let's just not be overly literal. The outrage machine needs to step it down a notch

          @HeerJeet I think that she's trying to be "me too" with the innate fears that people have about activism.

          @HeerJeet I was thinking last night how weird her 2008 claim that "It takes a president" was *against a guy trying to become president*.

          @HeerJeet instead of FDR's push me to do better, it's get out of the way and let the grown-ups talk

          @HeerJeet but she seems to have a partial blind spot (perhaps fixable?) when it comes to the value of outside activism. 2/2

          @HeerJeet I think you were right to point out the links between the two. Shows a disregard for actual experiences of marginalized people.
