But it’s still an enormous backfire for them.
I live around a lot of black folks here in Alabama.
MANY are very quick to see the Left’s criticism of Kanye as just more prejudice. Not every black person is so stupid to believe everything they see and hear on TV. In fact, some things remain oblivious to whites that they see that black folks instantly pick up on.
The drivebys can’t do this without eroding their own image in black peoples’ eyes. White democrats also have the same problem.
That’s why they can only let blacks like Don Lemon attack Kanye, but even that is seen as rightfully divisive.
