I read the article and these headlines 🥴. In short, he’s saying he’s more than his race. White people aren’t subjected to having to discuss their race or roles. So why do we have to? He’s more than what he looks like. Now, go put your pitchforks and cancel Daniel t-shirts away.

An elder offended one of the youngest in my family yesterday. What did my generation do in response? We all gathered our things and left. I’ve never seen a turn and burn happen so fast in my life. We’re not inflicting or defending generational trauma, ever✌🏾.

A Black man wanting to jump the broom as he wed a white woman is why we need to teach REAL history in schools. The symbolism of broom jumping is why it is not something ANY white person should engage in. What the hell is wrong with y’all?!

Interesting from a person who told us 25+ years ago not to refer to him as Black or African American, but to refer to him as Cablinasian (Woods,1997). The thing about whiteness is that it erases all of the other “affirmed” identities if they intersect w/Blackness. He learned.
