What is it specifically in Maupin’s post that makes you think I...

“Should consider his opinion more carefully?” That he incorrectly assumed that she is a Republican speaking on behalf of the Republican Party to uphold the image of black men? That he called her an idiot? That he threatened to call her an idiot to her face? That the photo accompanying the article (not the video, which is what was really important) had a bunch of white people in it? Or that he dismissed everything she had to say as if she was some prop at a Trump rally? That was his entire post.

I somehow fail to see anything compelling in his comments to make me believe he is more qualified on this subject than anyone else. So please, instead of running away from an honest, forthright and serious debate, explain to me why I should hold those specific comments by Maupin in such high regard.
