The California professor is not the first person to accuse the Republican recall candidate of being a 'Black face on white supremacy.'
Newsom is defending his seat ahead of a September 14 statewide gubernatorial recall election that could result in his removal from office if a majority of California voters decide to cast him out. Elder, a conservative radio host who is running as a Republican candidate in the recall, has routinely polled ahead of other recall candidates since launching his campaign in July and is widely considered the frontrunner of the field.
Melina Abdullah, a professor and former chair of the Department of Pan-African Studies at CSU LA, spoke at the Monday event hosted by the African American Voter Registration, Education, and Participation Project in the Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles County. Before Abdullah addressed the event attendees, California State Senator Sydney Kamlager appeared to refer to Elder without mentioning him by name, saying one recall candidate"thinks he might have an edge because of his color" but added racism"comes in all shapes and sizes, and we're not stupid," according to tweets posted by Kyle Stokes, a reporter with the Southern California NPR affiliate KPCC.
A professor at Cal State Los Angeles said Republican recall candidate Larry Elder is"a Black face on white supremacy" during a Monday campaign event for Governor Gavin Newsom. Above, Elder addresses the"Asian Rally for Yes on Recall" at the Asian Garden Mall on September 4, 2021, in Westminster."She didn't say his name, but I will: Larry Elder is a Black face on white supremacy," Abdullah said, according to Stokes' tweets.
