      14. After a few more ppl thanked Nylah for her service, she explained that she was happy to help because... folks, this is such an amazing tweet it belongs in a museum:pic.twitter.com/9CR9waFm4o

      15. Let's unpack this. Nylah gives four reasons for my racism. First: I worked for Commentary. True! I was an editor at Commentary, where I praised Ta-Nehisi Coates' essay on reparations and published @DavidAFrench criticizing conservatives over Trayvon Martin's killing.

      16. So my search for my Commentary racism came up empty. I tried the second envelope: Seth's wife is Bad. Folks.

      17. "Seth won't control his wife" is a common refrain here, but alas, not convincing proof of my soulless monsterhood. Third reason: I attacked black leaders. Now we're getting somewhere! Except, the black leaders I attacked were... Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan. Folks.

      18. Now, it's entirely legitimate for Nylah to be offended if her identity as a black woman is tied closely to feeling represented by Sharpton and Farrakhan. But still, as a Jew, it *kinda* makes sense for me to criticize Sharpton and Farrakhan in good faith?

      19. This tweet in the thread is dedicated to apologizing to David French who is now apparently being tagged in the rest of this thread, so I will wrap it up soon.

      20. Finally, the fourth and last proof of my status as satan: "He's a known conservative." My god.

      21. Now, conservatives are often criticized for not letting black Americans speak for themselves, and for not trying hard enough to see things from their perspective. Nylah, WritersofColor, and those chiming in the thread (professors among them, writers, poets) disagree.

      22. They don't want an improvement in the way we talk about race. They don't want black voices to be heard by nonliberal listeners and readers. This complicates a world they see in a very straightforward way, and they don't want things to get better. They want evil enemies.

      23. They are in the minority on the left, by a very large margin. The very popular black feminist author and professor I talked to, for example, was happy to help. I was not met with hostility by anyone I spoke--not a single person. But they're there, and Extremely Online.

      24. And that means organizations dedicated to amplifying black voices are intimidated into pulling their request--again, I really can't believe it, but here we are--for writers of color to widen their audience. It's very weird, but it's very twitter.

          25. And the way ppl and groups and "brands" and teams and whatnot interact on twitter and respond to criticism on twitter is deeply unhealthy and can, in plenty of cases, adversely affect the people who rely on them in the real world.

          26. That journalists and elected officials (and academics, I suppose) pay so much heed to this site bodes ill for everyone and everything in its blast radius. Meth out. /fin

          Sorry addendum: We got our Toni Morrison obit, and it's wonderful and I can't wait for our readers to have their eyes opened.

          Sorry one last addendum! Don’t assume conservative pubs haven’t attempted to bring in minority voices. As I said, we got our Morrison obit, and of course it’s on us to do the work. But we’re probably trying harder than you assume. Grasp the outstretched hand.

          Super ironic tagline for Writers of Color: "we don't want to hear *I can't find any* ever again, okay?"
