Daughter, MAKE NO MISTAKE, I TOTALLY AGREE with ALL you've written, HOWEVER, because this case is SO monumental (and we all know how white folk are) " the appearance of impropriety" is something she should've thought about -- because they were gunning for her no matter what). Ain't like we don't know how they work -- particularly when it comes to Orange Jesus. Ain't shit changed in this society!! Anything they can point to about our Black asses is ALWAYS in play. My thought? She should've disclosed this shit BEFOREHAND (beat them to the damned punch, cuz that's how THEY work)-- and kept it movin'. Just my 2 cents...
