    If you're not talking to black people IN Indiana, I don't want to read anything you've written about the experiences of black people who live in Indiana.

        You can be so busy trying to "catch" someone else in a scandal, you end up getting caught proving your own biases about what it's like for people who live and work some place your ignorant ass refuses to step foot in.

        Please stop trying to use people you generally dismiss to make barely relevant points about our communities. Couldn't find one black person in a red state to interview in the past three years, and now we see why.

        The funniest part for me is that among other things, I write about African affairs and knew Ashley's name and work from my professional Twitter accounts. It's only in recent weeks that I even realized ... oh wait ... she's actually here too LOL. Thank you so much for this.

        Thank you for making a statement on this. I'm a white Canadian, but even from my more removed perspective, some of the media dialogue around this topic has moved from well-meaning ignorance to outright patronizing. Your firm, measured words are much-needed. Followed!

        Welcome to flyoverland bias where there are no black working class who live, love and work in red States. Bravo for your tweets.
