"All skin folk, ain't kin folk. Ayo, lets talk about these black grifters"
I just learned about Ali Alexander and I am speechless.
If you don't know, he's the bootleg Sammy Davis jr. who has publicly taken credit for kicking off the Jan. 6th insurection and being the cofounder of the "Stop the Steal" movement. Knowing this is a mindfuck.
Next. Candace O. just got a damn TV show and it's hot ass-gravy on garbage.
Next. Brandon Tatum. This video of him going from "'Murica. Guns. Freedom." to "it's on sight, niggas" is gold. https://youtu.be/y0Ms_i4uGtk
I thought things would calm down a bit with Trump gone, but uh...nawl. These people are the worst.

and I've been eyeballing that space for a long time. Since 2016. I've watched a dumb amount of debates and interviews with people whose names rhyme with Hapiro, Eaterson, Boomer, Flowder

And further, to call it a "grift" bastardizes the damage that people who actually engage in wide-spread deception cause.
Further, when you call it a "grift" what you're really doing is releasing people from their own personal responsibility. If you sent money to a mufucka because he looked and sounded good and said something you liked, that's on you. Now if he told you he was gonna invest your money and pay you dividends, now we talk about grifting, but until then, you bought what you paid for, a good feeling.

but I don't know how what he did was different that raising money for any other political cause (it just happened to be a extreme fringe position). He said he was gonna put pressure on congress, and they followed through on that. In fact, his shit was the opposite of a grift lol. It just wasn't ultimately successful, but ending abortion hasn't been ultimately successful either and nobody would call pro-life campaigns a "grift".

Do you think Shirley Chisolm's presidential campaign was a grift? Because I guarantee you a large swath of America thought a black woman becoming president in 1972 was a pretty fringe idea.
I'm not arguing on the side of any of these people, I'm just trying to get the language right (c) MLK Jr.
Just because you disagree with somebody doesn't mean they're "grifting" or "scamming", and then yall use the same language to describe legitimate professionals like Ben Crump.
