For a great writer, the wording of this tweet is super awkward.
I ‘m not used to being rescued by African Americans in Alabama and it feels fine! Thank you. You did something that was beyond the rest of us. Thank you again.

How? How is his statement racist? There is a big divide in Alabama and he is simply recognizing it.

In this scenario where Moore won, did as many AA vote?

I think what people are responding to is that black voters OVERWHELMINGLY supported Jones while a large majority of white voters supported Moore. There’s a lot to pick apart about this whole narrative, but it’s pretty easy to see where it’s coming from.

1) Yes, I think it was shocking for a lot of us to see how black voters were overwhelmingly pro-Jones while a majority of white voters went for Moore. This particular line was drawn by the votes themselves — black voters showed up for what benefits the human race.

2) I don’t think there’s necessarily any harm in recognizing that black people represented what’s good in the world yesterday, as long as we also recognize why that’s remarkable — because white people did not do the same.
