She has tenure for doing Black studies work at George Washington U. She once had the audacity to call *me* a fraud. And bc of her, others will be suspicious of folks who look like me. And of Black studies. And ppl who vouched for her. 💩https://t.co/8aLwP6r4un
The fact that she had no less than THREE separate fake black identities & one of them was "Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness" [aka my ID] is just priceless. "African American history professor admits she lied by saying she was Black for years" https://t.co/bdxFOGoJNI

It's fascinating how Trump is running against what's happening on his own watch, much of it that he is either responsible for or else made worse by ineptitude of response. Somehow he thinks he can scare people from Biden by pretending Joe's the incumbent & he's the outsider. https://t.co/6lkPHxFtPL

An endorsement by a bin Laden hours after verified reports of how poorly Trump thinks of our troops is a fascinating week of public relations. Then again, Hillary used email, Obama is a nosybody, and Joe Biden closed his eyes in prayer. So it's a wash.

I'm not a big fan of telling artists "this is what you need to do or not do to be considered worthy of the prizes we dish out". If critics/audience/award givers dictate the shape that art takes, it's no longer art. It's color by numbers.
