She further pointed out that being called“racist” deviates one from the real issue claiming it as a “political wedge.”
“I am somehow a race-baiter and a racist because I call it like I see it, and I think it’s being used as a political wedge issue now. Everything is racist. Everything is racist, especially if you call it out.”
She further shared to look for the “definition of racism” as,
“It’s really a power dynamic. It’s not just about the color of your skin, and I think when you talk about those who committed crimes that owe reparations, those are the people who committed the atrocities of slavery, who stole land, who killed indigenous people.”
