#4 Just did an archives search of Mr. Sellers — it didn’t occur to me to look for a minor CNN analyst last night. Results added at the bottom of the post. Thank you, Tarzan Grolump8219.

#5 CNN coverage of a candidate that is on the periphery of my radar is generally a low priority for me, but here is my comment, for what it is worth:
For Bakari and his ilk, in my opinion, Nikki’s background would be “white adjacent.” I have little interest in her actual upbringing because I don’t consider her trustworthy, but I believe my characterization of Bakari’s attitude is correct. He would group Korean Americans and Cuban Americans in the same way. Bakari, in his mind, is allowed to gatekeep groups and people out of what he considers to be true minority status. There becomes an arcane quasi science within liberal racism that disqualifies Ted Cruz then Nikki Haley and finally Tim Scott. This new thinking is akin to the Belgians dividing the Hutus from the Tutsis and issuing licenses to hate. Were Indians not oppressed by the white man? Why is she white?
Unlike Bakari I don’t care for identity politics, so Nikki’s character is important to me. For Bakari, race is all important so he needs so extra special ideas like “white adjacent” that allows him to value people using his true underlying calculus which is leftism. It is like an astrologist beginning with a diagnosis and working back through all the celestial influences to build a rationale. BLM similarly is leftism under a veneer of race politics.

#6 Within the "black community," there's more distinctions on skin hue than the ~~Eskimos~~ natives of the North allegedly have words for snow.

And if you don't think there's some discriminatory baggage there, you ain't paying attention.

#9 I live (and lived then) in SC and don't recall any inflammation of racial tensions after the Charleston shootings. In fact, a black church the very next day invited "all" to a prayer meeting, which my wife and I attended.
