Didn't mean to imply he would get cancelled, just that he's always feeling around those edges. "Get away from black people" is the type of comment, taken out of context, that gets people tossed.

Anyhow, I've appreciated the consistent messaging the past few days where he dismisses all the excuses people come up with for their own failure, and says to go learn. It doesn't even cost anything to learn these days. There's never been a better time to be a black person that knows things.

Identifying as a victim is a fail strategy, even if you're an actual victim, because 'give up' and 'wait for someone to hopefully rescue me' isn't a strategy.
