It’s kind of their biggest strategy though, isn’t it? Endlessly drill into people’s heads the idea that “you need to listen to people of color,” that such people’s “lived experience” (for which read, asserted stories) are “valid,” that there is a such think as “my truth,” and so on, all of which ask you to put aside questions of evidence and supportability in favor of, essentially, “believe me because I’m the right demographic.” And of course, because rhetoric works, a lot of people now ARE willing to believe the right people if they make any claim. Even if, apart from all the above, people would be wise to just not believe anything any celebrity says happened to them anyway, since part of what they do in the celebrity business is keep themselves in the news by hook or by crook.
