Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and current billionaire who recently threw his hat into the 2020 Democratic primary, feels very attacked right now. His competitors are none too pleased with his plan to spend up to $1 billion of his own money on his campaign, which kicked off with a $30 million TV ad buy and millions more in online ads if you include the $100 million spent on anti-Donald Trump online ads just before he announced his candidacy. This self-funded operation has caused Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to accuse him of buying the election. Meanwhile, Cory Booker is thinking about the next debate: Bloomberg has already qualified, but neither Booker nor any other non-white candidate still standing (Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard) has.
Well, Cory Booker endorsed me a number of times. And I endorsed Cory Booker a number of times.He’s got some good ideas. It would be better the more diverse any group is. But the public is out there picking and choosing and narrowing down this field. The truth of the matter is you had a lot of diversity in the candidates, some of whom were very competent.
” Regardless of Bloomberg’s intent, calling black people “well-spoken” has long been understood to be a racist faux pas, implied exceptionalism condescendingly granted to black people with an undercurrent of surprise. “Well-spoken” is the less chaotic but still deeply cringe cousin of “articulate,” which brought Joe Biden griefwhen he described then-candidate Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.
