The Ideological Difference Between Tiffany Henyard and Khalid Kamau
Tiffany Henyard seemed incapable of seeing herself as anything except a princess who could buy whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted.
Equally, Khalid Kamau embraced the same type of thinking.
The difference between the two was that Khalid Kamau eventually stepped down, whereas Tiffany Henyard confidently tried to win another election.
Tiffany Henyard didn’t seem like an activist. She appeared more like a woman trying to capitalize on what she must have imagined were ignorant voters.
If you listen to her initial campaign, she sounded like a spendthrift liberal with charisma but no qualifications.
The voters should have seen this coming.
Whereas with Khalid Kamau, he was a Black Lives Matter activist, and most activists don’t make good leaders.
Activists tend to put social justice ahead of not only common sense but also basic math and basic economics.
With Khalid Kamau, it appeared that he eventually realized he was in over his head — and stepped down.
Activists blame everyone except themselves; hustlers are looking for a sucker.
Now, the average activist tends to point the blame at society instead of themselves, so it remains unclear whether Khalid Kamau will learn anything constructive from this ordeal.
In regards to Tiffany Henyard, one could argue there’s nothing for her to learn.
She comes across like a hustler who found suckers to give her some money.
Whereas Khalid Kamau comes across like a clueless activist who thinks money grows on trees and that gatekeepers are preventing him from getting his “fair share.”

Either way, both of them should never have been elected in the first place, and the voters in those places need to do better and have better candidate vetting procedures.
Because anyone, from a mile away, listening to either of their campaigns could clearly see they were both unqualified.
