Let ME add a little context. Every single clip that JM links here turns out


To have been taken out of context. Every single one. This one feels no different to me.
Yes, she uses some trigger words that I agree are counterproductive.
From her answer to this one question asked by someone on some show in some setting, this person began her life journey 😎 in a pretty toxic 😎 racist, white supremacist environment. That seems to have certainly influenced what she wants to do with her life, and how she sees the world.
I have to be honest, the whole woke, too woke, anti woke conversation gets pretty tedious to me. Things tend to work like a pendulum, or at least, that’s been my observation over almost 70 years now. Probably less than 70 because I wasn’t that observant as a toddler.
And I missed some of that horrible reaction to October 7 that you describe and that you clearly saw. I tend to try to ignore small numbers of crazy people doing crazy things until they become larger numbers of crazy people doing crazy things.
Illuminating I don’t mean to be so flippant to your very thoughtful response, but I really wasn’t trying to make excuses for anyone or operate off convenient assumptions. I was reacting to another clip from JM.
