Good for Sherman. Does that erase decades of harmful, counterproductive work in the community afterwards? I think people are complex, and you can give credit where it’s due, but also scrutiny when it’s due

This is what he has done in the years since. Harmful and counterproductive enough that the NAACP gave him an award for it.

HoCo/MD NAACP is run by a well-known predator. They’ve sadly become co-opted for corporate interests, as well, and are actually quite conservative. I do have respect for NAACP nationally, though, and was a big supporter of Ben Jealous’s 2018 campaign

Cool, and while I’m at it, I’ll be sure to look up the skeletons in YOUR closet. I seem to remember you saying something about scrutiny being due.

Sounds like you’ve been doing that for awhile, and good to know you’re more concerned about a local blog writer and grassroots activist than you are about people in serious positions of authority in the state and county.

You don’t know shit about what I’m concerned about, beyond the fact that nobody should give credence to anything you write or say - and thanks for showing us all why.

No, your priorities are very clear. You made a Reddit account Just for this! It’s clear your allegiances are with the corrupt corporate forces being exposed
