When I read these stories I first get angry, then try to visualize how I’d respond if this were happening to me.
The color of my skin, though, would be an important dynamic, but I suspect with me these folks would try the “sellout” and “coon” route.

Larry Elder was “The blackface of White Supremacy”. Why Joy Reid was not fired on the spot for such a racist comment is beyond me.
