21. You know not one thing about me

May 2017

Go read my history in the AfAm Group - you made a lot of judgments about me being everything but 'uppity'.

You have no idea the depth and level of my activism in the black community.

And until you have personally spoken with him about these things -

"But if you think for a second that Corey Booker "stands with" those who haven't overcome when he backs Big Pharma, or charter schools, or any of the rest of the centrist agenda, OR that they vote for him because they "adore" him when he does so, I must respectfully disagree. "

You don't know the man. You don't know him.

And - most important - you have NEVER canvassed with me (not hidden behind a cell phone out in a square state) in Newark, Elizabeth, or Camden. He is us. WE are him. WE rub shoulders in NJ.

There are over 1 million of us - and we are 'together'.
