Melissa Murray: ‘Black People Are Usually the Canary in the Coal Mine’ for Democratic Backsliding

Murray: “So black people are usually the canary in the coal mine for these sorts of things. It happens first within that community, but it definitely doesn’t stop there.

This is a president, a party that is bent on consolidating political advantage for a small sector of the electorate and the rest of us, we’re either going to rise together or we’re going to fall together. We may not fall at the same time, but we will all fall inevitably. And that’s important to remember right now. The New York Times is being pressured into like, there’s a lawsuit against The New York Times by the EEOC."
