Jefferson, whose Twitter bio states "Race is the central organizing feature of American politics, "argued that while masks are uncomfortable for all people, it is only White people who believe they are above government action. "Ain’t like masks are comfortable for non-White people. But you don’t see a bunch of Black folks storming meetings," Jefferson said. "And it’s not just cause these White folks are GOP. It’s cause they’re White, & believe whiteness confers upon them a kind of power that places them above gov action."
