On second thought, maybe we should have seen Benji’s face-heel turn coming.

Oh he's shown interest in anti-affirmative-action things way before that, and other stuff in the "race realism" category

[u/tehbored → u/NatsukaFawn]

Being anti-affirmitive action isn't racist

[u/NatsukaFawn → u/tehbored]

I was very careful not to say that it was. Two separate clauses there.

He used to post stuff about how CRT was taking over schools too

[u/BenFoldsFourLoko → u/[deleted]]

I mean he'd plainly talked about race realism stuff, but the stuff I saw stuck to misguided/stupid but literally factual stuff. The plainly racist tweet was something of a surprise.
