I think he was wrong to Tweet the quotes because:
- They were out of context. Jackson was speaking to the Congressional Black Caucus. His comment was aimed at people who claim to represent the interests of black people, who suffer disproportionately from a lack of health care.
- They affirmed people’s misconceptions. From the retweets, it seems some of Piper’s predominantly white, conservative followers think: people of color talk about race too much, it’s not such a big deal anymore.
