Matt Lieberman is running for U.S. Senate in #Georgia. After the Unite the Right march in Charlottesville, he decided to pen a novel that he self-published in 2018. “Lucius” is about a white man who owns an imaginary “slave” in the present day. 1/4 #gapol https://lithub.com/dynastic-privilege-a-terrible-novel-and-the-race-for-a-crucial-senate-seat/">https://lithub.com/dynastic-...

The novel, which I read, embodies every racist trope imaginable. Lieberman continues to defend "Lucius" as an anti-racist book. This fact alone - that Lieberman believes such an egregiously racist book is anti-racist- is disqualifying. He must drop out of the race. 2/4 #OwnVoices

Here& #39;s the kicker: Lieberman& #39;s candidacy could have enormous ramifications. It could keep Democratic candidate and social justice advocate Reverend Raphael Warnock, the front runner among Democrats, from qualifying for the Jan. 5 runoff. 3/4

And if Lieberman& #39;s candidacy succeeds in edging out Warnock, it will have paved the way for 2 rightwing GOP candidates Kelly Loeffler & Doug Collins, to secure BOTH spots in the runoff race, further endangering Black, Indigenous & other people of color.4/4 https://lithub.com/dynastic-privilege-a-terrible-novel-and-the-race-for-a-crucial-senate-seat/">https://lithub.com/dynastic-...

Wow

Despite calls from Stacey Abrams, State Senator Nikema Williams, Reverend James Woodall of the NAACP of Georgia, many other Black activists & organizers, and Jewish community leaders, Lieberman is digging his heels in. https://twitter.com/liebermanforga/status/1309230680052838401?s=21">https://twitter.com/lieberman...
