I think there may be a larger reverberation in the national consciousness as well.
Mainstream America basically puts up with a lot of what it considers to be silly and unfair diversity stuff because they don’t want to be small-minded, and they want to be charitable to the obviously at least culturally struggling black community.
But here’s a window in to the grievance-perpetuating black madrassa community that they can see as having philosophically drawn in and ruined a bright, educated bi-racial candidate they’d like to have been able to elect.
As with the fight against radical Islam, I think people are going to ask whether as a country we can afford to overlook the BLT sort of teachings as antithetical to the racial healing that they want—and have been generously funding.
