Meet Preston Mitchum, who according to a 2015 YouTube interview is “black, gifted & whole.” But he is much more than that:

Preston is a Policy Research Analyst for the Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE). He is also an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies teaching Advanced Legal Research & Writing. Previously, he was a LGBT and Racial Justice Policy Analyst at the Center for American Progress (CAP) where he focused on the intersection of race, sexual orientation, and gender identity as it related to the school-to-prison pipeline, workplace discrimination, and HIV criminalization laws.

He is also a racist in the most direct sense of the word — viz., “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.”

On July 23, he made the following broad declaration on Twitter:

Yes, ALL white people are racist. Yes, ALL men are sexist. Yes, ALL cis people are transphobic. We have to unpack that. That’s the work! — PrestonMitchum (@PrestonMitchum) July 23, 2017
