As Twitchy reported Saturday, 2020 Democratic candidate Marianne Williamson — who, by the way, is beating Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, and, at 0.0 percent, Beto O’Rourke in New Hampshire polling — had all of the whites at one of her events track down the closest African-American, lay on their hands, and repeat a prayer apologizing for all the wrongs blacks have endured throughout history.
Kira Davis, editor-at-large of Twitchy sister site RedState, watched the video and thought it was “insane.”
How do you identify the nearest black person? What about the people who might look like another ethnicity? I get mistaken for Mexican all the time. Not everyone taking a first glance might realize I'm black. Imagine being a white person here & not being sure who's who? https://t.co/qYOqAYx99z

I mean, honest to goodness…I can't even finish watching this, it's so damn creepy. I've tried to finish it about 6 times already. It's like watching Michael Scott having to face the classroom of graduates he pledged to put through college and tell them he had lied. ? https://t.co/qYOqAYx99z

And then of course what about the opposite? Who is "white"? How do we identify those people? One might be a lighter hued minority or biracial of a type but identify as white…what do they do? How do we know who is who?

How do we know who is who, especially when there are people running around claiming to be Native American when it suits them?
What is going through the mind of a white person in this situation who looks like – say, @michaeljknowles … has an ethnically ambiguous in person but he's a white guy. What are the Knowles' of this audience thinking in this moment?

It's the most insane thing I've seen in a while. And I say this in a world where Donald Trump is the president.

I like the guy trying to scratch his whiteness off about halfway through.

This is peak lunacy here.

Since election night 2016 I hesitate to declare anything "peaked".

I cannot stop cringing. It's humanity's cringiest moment.

Well said.
Truly. I honestly thought it was a parody article when I first saw a post about it. Like the Bee or something. I'm…speechless.

Imagine the black person who looks white getting dirty looks for not complying.

What are they apologizing for?
— Amy (@famousamosquito) July 20, 2019
For the crime of being born white.

Maybe you should create Grindr for minorities. “I’m telling you I’m right and look there is a black person 50 feet away that can verify it.”
— Jason Vaughn (@JasonVaughn) July 21, 2019
Also, who’s to say the nearest black person isn’t a CEO, a doctor, professor, at a much higher standing than I? Who do I think I am to condescend in such a way? The problem is, liberals see all POCs as victims!

What if the black person or his parents recently immigrated from Africa?

America is the most diverse country in the world and many of us are mixed. If you're a mix, are you supposed to apologize or demand the apology? ?♀️

I was there and I said sorry to Rachel Dolezal and Barack Obama. Turns out I was wrong on both counts.

Steer clear of anyone saying “repeat after me”

This feels, smells, looks, sounds, and speaks very culty.

Yes, it does.

If I did this to my brothers at work, they would slap my ass and I would laugh along with them. Flipping nuts.

It's like asking a fat lady when the baby is due.

They have really lost their minds. Who would have thought this level of insanity was even possible?
