He's living proof of horseshoe theory.

The only thing that got exposed today is your ass.

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.

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.

Oh really? Who is the predator? And of course, what proof do you have of that fact?

Keep proving to everyone on this thread what a self-important asshole you are.

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

But hey, since you're here speaking for Columbia residents when you don't live here, I guess that tracks!

The point is that the Black community does not want or need you, a white man, telling them what's good for them and what isn't. Especially in the contemptuous manner in which you do so.

Representation means Sherman does not need your counsel or permission to make his own political decisions.

The fact that you believe you know better than he does what is good for the Black community proves that the rest of my statement is not baseless.

>But calling out people in positions of authority for gross corruption and abuses of power (what I do) is accountability, not “bullying”.

Is that why you, a cisgender, heterosexual white man, have such a long, documented history of contempt and disrespect toward women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people when they don't fully toe your political line?

As one example of many, this is you, telling Sherman Howell, an 80-year-old Black Columbia resident and NAACP member with a decades-long resume of civil rights activism including marching with John Lewis on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965 - that he doesn't care about black lives. The level of pathological self-importance required to say such an absurd thing to a man with Mr. Howell's background is off the charts.

Maybe you're right. You're not a bully. You're an asshole.
