I feel that I should defend Jamelle Bouie because I am a subscriber to his newsletter. Andrew Sullivan may have been made fun of by Bouie on Twitter more times than he can count but the things I remember Bouie writing about are his theories that the Electoral College is racist, the Supreme Court has too much power, and the Senate should be elected by the state legislatures again in return for giving up some power. Every week he also has a photo which he has taken and a recipe which he has cooked. I think his perspective is much more about the legacies of white supremacy in how public power works than how individual Black people can succeed because he has had little trouble succeeding (before he was at the Times he was Greg Sargent's second-in-command at The Plum Line which has gone to a succession of very talented people).
