Saw a poc on TikTok comparing this to Rosa parks and Malcom X. Such a tough one for me because I’m white as fuck, but like even I know Malcom x wouldn’t applaud this like some of them are claiming
Puts me in such an uncomfortable spot because a lot of these people will weaponize their blackness to shame you for not signaling loyalty to the DNC
I'm white too. If you sincerely believe you're being honest with yourself and you're being honest to the world - it's all good.

In a coincidence - I saw this Bluesky post just ~2 minutes ago where the poster indirectly compares Booker to MLK Jr.
Gimme a break. I'm 100% certain Booker gave that speech for a possible 2028 presidential run. All the DC democrats are self-serving, arrogant jerks.
As a non-white, I give you the approval to shit on this silicon valley tech backed ghoul (yup, he's backed by the worst of American capital).
