Eli, this is spot-on! Bravo for using your gift of writing and the blessings given by your fierce family to put truth out there for all to see! Heroes, all of you. Thank you!
The ultimate irony of this insane obsession with race is that the actual racists can now hide in the open. When everyone is a racist, no one is a racist.
Everyone IS racist. Let’s accept that, stop assigning it to one group, and move on. It is a sin we all work on together. Period. Nearly 90% of Americans, with all colors of people available to them, pair off with members of their racial group.
Her skin is not black either. To me, her skin is white. And white ppl are not really white. Neither are “black” ppl. They are brown. Isn’t her husband white? Was he invited? I don’t like checking the white box. I would rather explain the countries of my heritage. We are supposed to be based on our character and expertise and knowledge, not based on what we look like, sound like, smell like...
Hooray for you for calling out a pernicious example of racism like Mayor Wu’s, and sharing the story of your family history. I truly hope the tide is turning in the culture wars, as you believe. Thanks Eli!
It’s the mind of white producers and achievers they’ve locked out, and the bounty before them reveals that one acquires their riches through tribal force.
Thank you for standing for our highest principles. You could ‘sit this one out,’ but I think your father has bequeathed his intelligence and moral courage to you. I am sincerely grateful for his and your voices of respect and sanity.
Absolutely! Your father is one of my heroes and now you are, too, in your own right!
All the ppl who fought for desegregation and inclusion would be very sad to see this.
They are dead. They had courage. A generation of opportunists has replaced them.
Right on, Eli!

What is most interesting during this phase is who tries to silence Black men and women who push back against the inanity.

She is a disappointment, as was Obama. The very people you expect to be bridges to a new future blow up the road behind them. Sad.
Keep fighting the good fight, Eli.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
