If BLM activists found Hillary Clinton wanting, another group of black thinkers and activists took their ideological beef with Clinton to an absurd length by discouraging black folk to vote—and in drawing ill-conceived and preposterous parallels between Clinton and Donald Trump. These gestures not only undercut rational black politics, but they violated the spirit of Baldwin’s notion of witness and distorted the black freedom struggle’s commitment to black power.
Ewwwww ugh what the fuck
