No award for Tim Scott? Dude literally told Trump he “loved” him, went out and married a white woman, (since nobody believed the girlfriend claim), and all he got in return was Trump calling him a loser candidate who couldn’t even get Nikki Haley’s endorsement.
And how’d you miss Mark Robinson? It’s not every day that you run across a Black shill for white supremacy who also has a hilariously insane porn addiction.
"Oftentimes, white people treat white supremacy like a negative side effect of a drug that might cure their illness. To them, racism, incompetence and blatant dishonesty don’t outweigh the possible benefits they might receive by making a white supremacist the most powerful person in the world. It’s not that they don’t consider the consequences; they just don’t care about the people who are harmed when they fuck around."
Truer words might never have been spoken. And this is why I have not tolerance for the crocodile tears of MAGA regret...especially those that say "I'm sorry I brought this on myself" rather than "I'm sorry I brought this on all of you."
I'm going to HAVE TO STOP reading you, Michael! This piece is simply superb! (I'm pretty sure I've never called anything less than novel-length--except Nikki Giovanni's "The Great Pax Whitie"--"superb." And speaking of the "The Great Pax Whitie," you know N.G. asks a question, which she also answers. . .So, I'm inclined to believe the "nothing" that is done--as you so wittingly and eloquently point out--is cuz they gots NO shame. Child.
It's like you reached into my brain and my soul and said *everything* I've been thinking, saying and feeling my entire adult life -- and I've been around for a minute. Since the election I've been full of rage and having a difficult time containing it. Oddly enough, reading this helped a little. Thank you!
Teacher, I'm glad you're here to keep speaking history and preaching resistance. As a white woman, I'd like to ask: Where can I nominate this column for recognition and award?
Best article I've read since Ta'Nehisi Coates "The First White President."
Fantastic summation, Michael Harriot.
Sumptuous meal for the brain.
Love it! But…

I have no words. You wrote the truth with a hundred times more clarity and in fewer words, than most people ever could.
This, sir, is a thing of beauty.
This is the best list ever
