he didn't leave twitter because he had a problem with criticism...he had a problem with white supremacists and the President chiming in on his criticism. there's a difference.

I frankly think its wonderful for anyone to be thinskinned, because what that's really saying is that someone is sensitive and vulnerable. Which is a GREAT thing..imagine if more people were...so I never find that to be a fault or a negative in anyway. But socialization being what it is, other people have a problem with it.

Telling peers and academics who have
>spent decades researching black political thought "don't
>write about my ideas and how they should be categorized.
>Praise only" is not how critical theory works fundamentally.

who said that and when?
