Former CNN host Piers Morgan is on Twitter deliberately trying to annoy people of color by reminding them of his whiteness and demanding inclusion in their celebrations of black pride.
After #BlackLivesMatter activist DeRay McKesson posted the following on Twitter, Morgan just couldn’t help himself:
I love my blackness. And yours.

I love my whiteness and your blackness. > RT @deray I love my blackness. And yours.

The actual denizens of Black Twitter — with whom Morgan’s feuded before — were bemused but unimpressed:
@piersmorgan @deray Why must you always feel the need to be included?
