Harris campaign endorsement money is one more opportunity to move on from identity politics

I have never taken a donation or any other form of payment from President-elect Donald Trump. Aside from my salary, I have never received any payment or kickback for the work I do on the South Side of Chicago. When I heard the news that Rev. Al Sharpton was paid $500,000 by the Kamala Harris campaign, I was insulted. This is a man, a man of God to boot, who claims to care so much about Black people and yet he charged Harris a pretty penny for his time. 

Sharpton was not the only identitarian-based advocacy group to receive a paycheck.
