I think he's peaked.

I sure hope so.

then I'd say there goes the rest of his Black community support - what handfuls there still might be, somewhere (?). This will nail that coffin shut, I think. I would also suspect that other people of color wouldn't appreciate this, either. Any on-the-fencers may just be tipped over our way with this.
