      Today, @lhfang decided to take my tweet out of context and use it to compare me to a Nazi. Here's my response. (1/x)https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/893562600985722881 …

      As my thread explained, I believe it's important to support leaders who understand race/racism, an issue deeply impacting American life.

      I also believe the nation's leadership should reflect the diversity of America. That's necessary for democracy and does not currently exist.

      In meeting with Bernie, it became clear he lacked sufficient understanding of race/racism to be able to effectively address these issues.

      He did not understand how universalist policies would not in fact close the racial gaps that exist. In some cases, they'd exacerbate them.

      What universalist policies would exacerbate racial gap? (Not a rhetorical question -- genuinely curious).

      Children of the already wealth almost all go to college now anyways -- and if they don't it's not for financial reasons.

          Yes,'marginal utility' of free college is low for the 'already wealthy', high for a subset of 'not wealthy', but maybe not the 'poor' subset

          PRO TIP: These "universalism enhances racism" people are morons. Better to argue with a brick.
