re: #61 Patricia Kayden

Isn’t he saying that because of White privilege, Whites carry more weight when they make identical arguments as people of color? That’s actually true so I don’t have a problem with him saying that.

P.S. He shouldn’t run for President though. He needs to stay in his lane as a lawyer and outspoken Trump critic.

No, he’s going way beyond that and saying that it’s literally the reason that we need a white guy as the next Democratic nominee. He’s summarily dismissing the entire roster of minority and women contenders simply because they don’t look like him. There’s no salvaging that point of view, no matter how much it’s wrapped in acknowledging systemic racism & sexism as real forces in society.
